Your Sedona elopement, bold and unscripted
SEDONA ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Whatever the vibe, I'll be there to capture it all.
This isn't about performing for the camera. It's about feeling grounded, supported, and deeply present while you marry your favorite person in a way that actually reflects who you are.
For couples who feel called to the red rocks — and want their day to actually mean something
She did our elopement shoot in Tucson and it was everything I could have hoped for and so much more! Not only is she incredibly professional but she has a way of really putting you at ease and making taking pictures the most fun experience. Her photos also come out amazing!!
"If I could give more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat"
She really captured our relationship. She listened to our needs and was so knowledgeable not just about photography, but about the wedding industry as a whole. She brought a speaker to our engagement session and encouraged us to just have fun and be in the moment. It was a blast.
“Krissy encouraged us to be ourselves and got so many special moments”
She customized our entire shoot based on a questionnaire she sent beforehand, let our fur baby tag along, shared sneak peeks along the way, and delivered our edited photos faster than we thought humanly possible. We felt happy, seen, and completely taken care of from start to finish. Do not hesitate, book Krissy today.
“Not only is Krissy an incredible photographer, she's a hype-woman and everything in between.”
Real Words
You want warmth. Long shadows, soft amber light, the kind of stillness that makes everything feel sacred. You're not here to hike, you're here to slow down, be present, and let Sedona do what it does best.
Oak Creek Canyon and Boynton Canyon are calling your name
For the golden hour romantics
You want to be out before anyone else. A tucked-away trailhead, golden light breaking over the red rocks, vows exchanged in a moment that feels genuinely private. You're not afraid of a little elevation and you want your photos to feel like they were made, not taken.
Bell Rock, Schnebly Hill, and Lover's Knoll were made for you.
For the sunrise hikers
What kind of Sedona elopement are you?
*I have even more location suggestions depending on your vision whether it's adventurous, romantic, hidden, or all three. We'll find your spot together.*
Less trafficked than the main Sedona trails, Schnebly Hill offers elevated overlooks that feel genuinely remote. For couples who want big sky, dramatic landscape, and the feeling that you really did find somewhere nobody else knows about.
SCHNEBLY HILL
Oak creek Canyon
Lush, green, and unexpected for the desert. The creek creates natural sound cover for private vows and the light filtering through the canyon is unlike anywhere else in Arizona.
A wide, sheltered valley flanked by towering red walls that feel ancient and private at the same time. The canyon floor keeps you shaded longer in the morning and bathed in warm reflected light in the late afternoon. It's especially powerful for couples who want their ceremony to feel rooted in something larger than themselves. Permits required; I handle all of it.
Boynton Canyon
My personal favorite for Sedona elopements. Tucked away from the main tourist paths, Lover's Knoll offers panoramic views of the surrounding red rock landscape with a quiet, private feeling most Sedona locations can't match. Ideal for sunset ceremonies.
Lover's KNoll
One of Sedona's most recognizable landmarks, Bell Rock offers sweeping 360-degree views and that unmistakable red rock drama. Whether you exchange vows at the base or partway up the formation, it delivers scale and presence that translates beautifully on camera.

What a Sedona elopement with me feels like
This isn't about performing for the camera. It's about feeling grounded, supported, and deeply present while you marry your favorite person in a place that actually means something to you.
When you work with me as your Sedona elopement photographer, you can expect a relaxed, unhurried presence throughout your entire day. Gentle guidance without forced posing. Space for real moments to unfold naturally. Someone who pays attention to how you're feeling, not just how things look.
My approach is documentary with gentle direction, emotion-led, warm, honest, and rooted in storytelling rather than posing. I'll help you slow down, stay present, and soak in the significance of the moment while quietly capturing the story as it happens.
Your photos should feel like memories. Not a photoshoot.
There are many talented elopement photographers in Sedona and across Arizona. What sets this experience apart isn't just how your images look,it's how supported you feel while they're being created. I lead with care, not control. From your first inquiry to your final gallery delivery, your body, your relationship, and your boundaries are respected.
What's included:
Built for couples who want the full story every big moment, every quiet one, every breath of Sedona air between. This is a full day with no clock watching, no rushing, and no compromises.
Starting at $5800
ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT COLLECTION
Want to add on? Boudoir and empowerment sessions available by inquiry. Adventure sessions starting at $600 for engagements, anniversaries, or just because.
Many of the most beautiful elopement locations in Sedona fall within Coconino National Forest, which requires a Special Use Permit for ceremonies. The process is straightforward but it does take time. I walk every couple through permit logistics as part of the planning process, you won't be figuring this out alone.
Do I need a permit to elope in Sedona?
Spring (March through May) and fall (September through November) are ideal mild temperatures, stunning light, and crowds that are manageable if you choose your timing well. Summer offers dramatic monsoon skies that can make for genuinely cinematic images if you're open to the heat. Winter in Sedona is underrated, especially if you catch a rare dusting of snow on the red rocks.
What time of year is best for a Sedona elopement?
I typically book 3 to 6 months out for peak season dates, especially spring and fall weekends. If you have a specific date or location in mind, earlier is always better. That said, if you're planning something more spontaneous, reach out. I'll always let you know what's available.
How far in advance should I book my Sedona elopement photographer?
Yes. Arizona requires a marriage license obtained from any Arizona county clerk's office — you don't have to get it in Yavapai County specifically, though that's the county Sedona falls in. I can connect you with officiant services to make it fully legal on the day, or if you have someone in mind, I'm happy to coordinate with them.
Can we get legally married during our Sedona elopement?
Absolutely. A large portion of my Sedona couples travel specifically to elope here. I'll handle location scouting, permit logistics, vendor connections, and timeline planning so you can focus on getting here and being present when you do. Destination elopements are some of my favorite days.
