Destination wedding · Arizona

Why here

Sedona is red rock and big sky. The color of the land does half the work in every photograph. As you can see from these photos, it is a place that carries a look beautifully.

Plan for the season

March-May and September-November: spring highs mid-60s to low-80s F with wildflowers; fall cools from upper 70s to 50s-60s.

Good to know

July is the hottest month and July-September is monsoon season, with late-afternoon thunderstorms. Red rocks are mostly Coconino National Forest land: a special use permit is required unless under 75 guests, no sound system, and only officiant/photographer paid. Sites can't be reserved exclusively; no rice, birdseed, doves or butterfly releases.

Places to marry

  • L'Auberge de SedonaCreekside luxury resort along Oak Creek, red-rock views
  • Enchantment ResortTucked into Boynton Canyon, ringed by red rock
  • Amara Resort and SpaBetween Uptown and Oak Creek; open-air courtyard ceremonies

It is a place made for brides and for any special occasion, and one I look forward to coming back to again and again. If you would like me to be part of your day, book me. I am looking forward to it.
