In Remembrance of Nitzia

It has been two years since my wife Nitzia passed away.

About a decade ago, she and I relocated to Sedona to chase our dreams. We juggled four jobs for several years just to make ends meet while we developed our photography career. As people began to notice our photos, our reputation grew, and suddenly, we had more clients than we could manage. Over time, we were blessed to become the most highly rated photographer business on Google in the entire Southwest and one of the top in the nation.

Nitzia hailed from Panama. She was a dancer with a pure spirit, which is why I and everyone else felt God's presence when around her. Her childlike nature allowed her to guide couples into striking and inspiring poses they never thought possible.

She taught me the importance of living in the present, rather than dwelling on the past or future.

Her unconditional love transformed my life.

The Bible states, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’ I take this to heart. I am thankful for my time with Nitzia, and I honor her teachings by using my talents and the photography career we built to spread God’s love and advance His kingdom. Life is short, so there’s no time to dwell on the past or feel down. God has a purpose for each of us.

Thank you, Nitzia, for being a wonderful example of how to truly live.

May your dancing light shine eternally.

Stacy Burk awarded "Best Wedding Photographer of 2023 in Sedona"

I'm so honored to have been awarded two years in a row 'The Best Wedding Photographer of 2023 and 2024 in Sedona'. When Nitzia and I moved here, it seemed impossible to ever make it in Photography because of all the fierce competition. We worked 3 and 4 jobs at a time to be able to make ends meet, while taking free photo jobs to show off our work. After a few years, word of mouth spread of our unique Photography and it wasn't too long before our calendar was completely booked full. We give all the glory to God and so grateful to do what we love. Even though Nitzia is in heaven now, I hope she is proud and celebrating what we accomplished. Thank you everyone for your support over the years and choosing us to capture your precious moments. God bless you!

Don't worry about the Weather

Sometimes I have couples that worry if their special day will have beautiful weather or not. Like, what happens if it's raining or snowing???

Well, let me tell you... I get some of the most dramatic shots on days with bad weather. Dramatic weather produces dramatic situations which creates dramatic shots! Couples usually end up in awe at the results and realized that the bad weather was really God blessing them on their special day.

In other words... God made their special day really, really special!

Here's some of my shots of a recent wedding on a rainy and snowy day.
