Jordan & Pete’s Sunrise-to-Sunset Sedona Elopement

Sedona, Arizona in November has a magic all its own — crisp mornings, golden light, and red rock formations that seem to glow. For Jordan and Pete, it was the perfect backdrop for their intimate elopement, blending adventure, quiet moments, and heartfelt vows.

A Chilly Sunrise Hike

We met in the early morning before the sun peeked over the horizon. The air was brisk, the kind of chill that makes you pull your jacket a little tighter, but the excitement kept us warm. Jordan and Pete wanted their day to begin with a sunrise hike in Sedona, just the two of them (and me, their photographer), surrounded by the stillness of the desert.

As we climbed, the first light hit the red rocks, painting the landscape in warm hues. They found a quiet spot to sit together and write their vows — the only sounds were the whisper of the wind and the crunch of sandstone beneath our feet. It was simple, beautiful, and completely theirs.

Golden Hour Ceremony with Red Rock Views

For the evening, we met at a new spot with sweeping views of Sedona’s iconic red rock formations. The sun dipped lower and the sky turned a deep, warm gold, wrapping them in light as they exchanged vows. Their ceremony was intimate and personal — no audience, no distractions, just the two of them committing to forever.

After the “I do’s,” we explored the area, capturing portraits against the breathtaking backdrop. The red rocks glowed as the sun set, and Jordan and Pete laughed, embraced, and soaked in every last drop of their day.
