In this Sedona Red Rocks Elopement, Natalya and Jesse set out on an intimate, desert elopement ceremony that embraced the natural beauty all around them.

This beautiful spot was the perfect setting for their special day, where heartfelt moments, tearful vows, and a magical moonlit dance created memories that they will remember forever (and so will I).

Reminiscing on Natalya + Jesse’s Sedona Red Rock Elopement

Hiking to the View

Natalya and Jesse didn’t just get married when they eloped. They also had an amazing adventure to begin their life together!

And as an elopement photographer, who thrives on adventure?

I couldn’t have been more excited.

They, along with their friends and family, went on a beautiful hike in Sedona. Everyone enjoyed the amazing views along the way. Choosing to hike to their wedding spot made it more exciting and allowed everyone to feel a stronger connection to everything the Sedona Red Rocks had to offer.

Preparation Amidst Nature

As the couple prepared to say, “I Do,” I realized just how useful my portable changing tent was. Natalia was able to change into her beautiful dress in the middle of the Arizona desert.

At first, the couple wore comfy hiking clothes that allowed them to hike without worrying about ruining their elegant wedding attire. It wasn’t until they arrived at the ceremony spot that the two of them changed.

A Sunset Ceremony

As the sun went down, it made Sedona’s red rocks look warm and golden. The ceremony spot was set up so that nature was the main decoration.

Natalya’s sister led the ceremony, which made it feel extra special.

Not only did Natalia and Jesse’s closest family get to witness their marriage, but Sedona’s big red rock formations in the distance were able to hear them say, “I Do” as well.

Being trusted to capture this?
I still have full-body chills.

Private Vows on a Rocky Ledge

Natalya and Jesse found a quiet spot on a Sedona rocky ledge. Here they exchanged their vows privately.

Although their day was already pretty personal, this intimate vow exchange let them celebrate their love in an even more intimate setting. Which, I recommend doing if it is right for you and your partner.

The feelings during those special moments are unmatched.

It serves as a touching moment filled with happy tears and true promises. That’s what I love most about eloping – tailoring it to you and your significant other.

Capturing Eternal Love:

After the ceremony, it was time to take Natalya and Jesse’s wedding portraits. After spending months prepping to capture their wedding, I was finally able to photograph all of the incredible photos that I had been dreaming about.

Seriously, I was so happy to be their photographer.

They stood in front of the red rocks in Sedona for pictures. When it finally got dark, they had their first dance under the moon. I mean, how romantic is that?

The moon, soft wind, and the glow of the desert stars made this moment even more special.

Off to Dinner

At the end of their Mesmerizing Sedona Red Rocks Elopement, they with their guests, headed back to the parking lot. 

They all went for a nice dinner to continue their celebration. Because their elopement was small and personal, they got to enjoy these moments with their loved ones and appreciate the happiness and love on their special day.
