WEDDING, COMMERCIAL, and LIFESTYLE FILMMAKER. SERVING NORTHERN ARIZONA AND BEYOND.
Anissa and John eloped in November hours after the first snowstorm of the winter. Even as the temperatures plunged, their love was cozy and full of home. This was a truly magical evening in the mountains. Loved shooting alongside Hannah Rose Gray Photography. Full film above, preview below.
Cynthia and Xavier knew exactly what they wanted to do for their elopement. It was to be at sunrise, with Bell Rock behind them. After the ceremony, they would meet up with their incredible dogs. But before any of this, before sunrise and on a beautiful sandstone ledge, they would set a timer for 10 minutes to write their vows. Preview above, full film below.
Dina and Steve eloped on a beautiful June summer evening in Sedona. It’s incredible how life can bring two people together, often when least expected.
Loved working along side Katrina from Sedona Bride Photographers and Karen from Sedona Wedding Ministry.

Alison and Shane made their elopement dreams come true by getting married on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was a very windy day in May, but the wind worked magic on Alison’s veil. They had their first dance as the sun set below the rim, and if you’ve never watched the sun set at the Grand Canyon, you must go! Full film above, preview below.
It was a pleasure to work alongside Heather Kadar Photography.
Davonna and Chrystian were married at sunrise in Sedona. There were so many magical moments during this elopement. Davonna loves hot air balloons, and one rose above the horizon right at sunrise during the ceremony. There is this lovely moment when Davonna’s eyes light up as she sees it. Davonna and Chrystian also surprised each other by quoting the same song lyric during their vows. What a beautiful morning. It’s always worth it to get up for a sunrise.

Whitney and Andrew eloped in Sedona near Bell Rock. This was a true elopement, just the two of them, and it was magic. The elopement was planned by Earth Elopements, and the photographer was Bon Miller. Preview above, full film below.
Maddie and Jason eloped with their closest people and the incredible Sedona mountains behind them. They got ready at gorgeous home in Sedona. Maddie wrote her father a heartfelt letter that he read out loud, followed by a first look between father and daughter. It’s such an honor to capture these moments.
Shortly after, we headed to the ceremony location. Jason saw his bride for the first time down the aisle, and he was stunned. Their ceremony was absolutely perfect. After taking group photos, Maddie, Jason, photographer Hailey Golich, and I headed out for an adventure. We traveled to a second location, hiked to incredible views, and captured the most epic video and photo. I absolutely love intimate elopements. Full film above, preview below.
I love when a wedding day has time for adventure. Stephanie and Lance came from Florida to elope against the red rock. They got ready at a cozy Air B&B in Mund’s Park, and then we headed to a red rock location for their ceremony. A few of their closest people were there to witness their love. After the ceremony and photos, photographer Hailey Golich drove Stephanie, Lance and I up to Merry Go Round. Hailey is an incredible photographer and Sedona expert. I love any opportunity I get to work with her. We had so much fun getting epic shots of Stephanie and Lance, and I’ll always remember how Lance has zero fear of heights.

Tyleen and Matt eloped with a handful of their loved ones as witnesses, and it was beautiful. We headed down a dirt trail for about 5 minutes to a location with unbelievable views, and no one but a few mountain bikers passed us the entire time. This isn’t always to find in Sedona!
I worked alongside the amazing photographer Maria with Vow to Wander . I’m so grateful for the local talent in Northern Arizona. Film above, preview below.
Whitney and Vincent had such a memorable, adventurous wedding. They got ready and had a tearful first look on the beautiful property of Enchantment Resort. We then headed to Pink Jeep in uptown Sedona to board our Jeeps. Years ago, Whitney and Vincent took a Jeep tour to Merry Go Round and decided they would get married at that exact spot. They made their dreams a reality and came back with close friends and family to witness their wedding. It’s a bumpy ride to Merry Go Round Rock, but it’s always worth it. Preview above, full film below.
Jill and Luke came from Texas to elope in Sedona with a few close friends. One of my favorite details was Jill’s bouquet. Each of her elementary students made her a colorful tissue paper flower and put together, they made the most vibrant bouquet. My favorite moment was after the first look. Jill told Luke she got her dress from Facebook Marketplace and they both laughed over love of a good deal. This elopement was full of energy, laughter, and love. Congratulations Jill and Luke!

Chane and Will got married in Florida and right after, came to Sedona. It was their dream to have a red rock session at the top of Cathedral Rock and exchange their vows. Victoria with White Desert Photography and I them in the parking lot (this was not a weekend), and immediately noticed how relaxed Chane and Will were. The big wedding was behind them, and they could just enjoy each other and their vacation. They were all smiles and laughter, and the evening was lovely. There was a dusting of snow on the red rocks, and the sun shone through crevasses it rarely does (thumbnail pic above!!). There was no long line to take photos, and so we had plenty of privacy. Their vows, saved for this moment, were heartfelt, although honestly, it was so windy, Victoria and I couldn’t even hear them. I’m so grateful I caught such quality audio for them to have forever.
Although it was stunning, it was freezing up there. The wind can really whip over that saddle. We were all shivering, and I was even in a beanie and puffy. Truthfully, Chane and Will, even with their Florida acclimation, didn't complain once. It was an adventure and completely worth it. Full film above, preview below.
Lindsay and Mitch were my last wedding of 2022. The original plan was to head up to to Merry Go Round with photographer Hailey Golich in her beautiful 4-Runner. Mother Nature had other plans. Due to snowy and muddy conditions, the road was closed. We quickly adapted. Lindsay and Mitch had their elopement ceremony at Mund’s Wagon trailhead, and then we went to Bell Rock for an incredible adventure session. Being the off-season and snowy, Bell Rock was basically empty. They had a first dance with snowy buttes in the background that I don’t think I will ever forget. Both Hailey and I were shooting from a distance to give them privacy, and I think there is a possibility that, for a moment, they forget we were there. They serenaded the words to one another and shed a few tears. Bliss. On Christmas, they announced their elopement to their loved ones with the sneak peek below and Hailey’s photos.

Alexis and Cameron are my heroes. Several of the weddings I filmed in August-November, 2022 were interrupted by rainstorms, but nothing like what Alexis and Cameron experienced. They were eloping with a few close friends and family members at the base of Bell Rock. We were a 10 minute hike from the cars or any kind of shelter. Before weddings, I always check the forecast, and this storm came from nowhere. Literally as Alexis started walking down the red rock aisle, a fast and furious storm came from the west. It went from sprinkling to pouring in minutes. The wind picked up, and the lightning got intense. Thank goodness my friend Sam was there to help get some drone shots, because he helped hold my rain jacket over my tripod as I huddled under an umbrella with my second camera with Danielle Holman, photographer. I filmed as long as I could before I knew I was at risk of destroying my cameras. The wind was making the rain go sideways and blowing umbrellas inside out. I kept shooting in 4K with my iPhone, but even that ended up ruining my phone. The officiant rushed the ceremony and then we booked it to the cars. We weren’t just damp, we were all completely soaked. Like jumped in a pool soaked. And of course, a double rainbow greeted us at the parking lot. A few days later, Danielle Holman and I met up again with Alexis and Cameron for a sweet vow and photo redo with sunny skies. By that point, Alexis and Cameron were already able to laugh about it all.

For the second time this summer, I had a couple tell their family and friends they were just going on a vacation to Sedona, but really, they were eloping. Only her mom knew the plan. Kayla got ready with her mom on FaceTime. When Mom saw her, she exclaimed through tears “You look like Cinderella!” . It was one of those wedding moments I’ll never forget. Kayla and Jason did bring along their two little boys, and they were such troopers. We made the Jeep ride up to Merry Go Round and they had the sweetest ceremony up there. Kayla was my first bride that wanted to drive a Jeep to the top, so she drove a Jeep with me, the photographer, and the officiant, and Jason drove the other Jeep with the boys. A few weeks laters, back at home, they gathered their people for an “engagement party”, showed them this video, and celebrated.
