Eloping to Sedona
The beauty of Sedona attracts a lot of couples that want to plan intimate weddings and elopements. Every year hundreds of couples come to Sedona from across the country and world to have a special Sedona elopement or intimate wedding in Sedona with just a few of their closest family and friends.
Sedona Bride Photographers offers abridged single photographer coverage for just these kinds of weddings. We start with suggesting just the perfect location for your wedding and put together the best times for the shoot based on the time of year and location. Then, we recommend wedding officiants, hair and makeup artists, floral and restaurants so that planning your elopement is a breeze for you.
The elopement day often time starts with the tail end of prep and there is plenty of time for a beautiful ceremony and gorgeous portraits out on the red rocks. You have an amazing day, with all the sweet moments captured most importantly for you to remember but also for you to share with your family and friends back home.
Each image is individually adjusted for color and selective lightening/darkening so that when you see your full set of images in your online gallery they are beautiful and ready to print from. You can make professional prints through our fabulous print lab but you also receive a digital download link for you to have all your images post wedding.

Blog post of Katelyn and Darrin’s Bell Rock engagement
Most days in Arizona are sunny like on this wedding day … we worked to time their ceremony closer to sunset but before the sun hid behind a mesa. This is the most scenic location with vistas without having to plan travel or a lot of hiking time.

Enchantment Resort and Schnebly Hill

In the link below you can see Shawna and Mike’s ceremony at Enchantment Resort followed by their portrait session on Merry Go Round Rock. The ceremony was at Enchantment Resort so that their family could easily attend. They made the trek up Schnebly Hill for romantic pictures at Merry Go Round with just the two of them. We are able to create custom packages with additional time when multiple locations are selected. This is a pretty popular combination of locations.
Red Rock Crossing

This link below is from an elopement at Red Rock Crossing. We entered from the Village of Oak Creek side of Red Rock Crossing. Their photos started at L’Auberge where they were staying.

Cathedral Rock

This is a fairly intense hike in parts. It’s easy to get to the half way point where there are beautiful views without a hike. To go to the top is a bit more for adventurous couples with hiking shoes. 🙂 The photo above is from an engagement session on a cloudy day but gives you an idea of the images that can be captured from both the mid level area as well as the top of Cathedral. To go to the top “saddle” of Cathedral Rock requires 3-4 hours of time round trip.
Elopements and intimate wedding ceremonies and portraits can happen on the lower half of Cathedral Rock without the hike and has really beautiful scenery as seen in the image below.

L’Auberge de Sedona

L’Auberge has several ceremony sites on their property and Serenity Point is the most popular for elopements. It’s located on the most souther point of the property and is usually very quiet and intimate, perfect for a romantic elopement on the red rocks with the sounds of Oak Creek. L’Auberge offers elopement packages as well as package for intimate weddings. At this time any guests staying at L’Auberge are free to use the property for photographs which makes it a popular location for couples to get ready at and use for pictures before going out to their elopement either on site of off site.
The link below is to an intimate wedding with just two guests and pictures both on and off site from L’Auberge.

Merry Go Round is an adventure elopement and requires about 4 hours of time … Our adventure elopements are $1250 and are inclusive of travel time and files. We are happy to provide guidance on getting to the locations but transportation is provided by the couple.
Hot air balloon
Unique weddings like getting married hundreds of feet up in the air above Sedona are so fun! The wedding below is from the highlights of a couple who got married in the air and stayed at L’Auberge so they followed their ceremony with some pretty pictures at L’Auberge.
