Location Ideas and Logistics
Please take a look at a few Facebook highlights and blog posts below from recent engagement sessions and elopements we’ve photographed in Sedona. You an also look at our SEDONA VENUES PAGE to see samples of locations to have your shoot.
Bell Rock … this is an easy access location with moderate hiking trails. The vista is a quick 10-15 minute hike which ends with 360 degree views. This is the most scenic location with vistas without having to plan travel or a lot of hiking time.

L’Auberge de Sedona … if you plan a romantic weekend stay at L’Auberge as guests you are welcome to use the property for photos … there are so many amazing locations to go to on the property and at a red rock location just across the creek from L’Auberge for sunset photos on the red rocks. This is of course an easy access location.

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. To go to the top is a bit more for adventurous couples with hiking shoes. 🙂 This 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.

Schnebly Hill / Merry-G0-Round … shoots on the top of Schnebly Hill require 4 hours of time because of the travel time and hiking time. There is a 45 minute Jeep drive up and about 20 – 30 minutes of hiking to the two stunning locations. And then a 45 minute drive back down after the shoot. You should plan for about 4 hours of time before sunset for travel and the shoot. We have a package for $1250 that includes the travel time and shooting time as well as guidance to the locations for the shoot and all the edited files from your shoot delivered via digital download. While we are happy to guide you to the locations we do not provide transportation. We recommend going with a local Jeep rental company like Barlows.
