Sedona Red Rock Views
This is the view of Cathedral Rock from Airport Vortex.
I love Airport Vortex for small, intimate elopements. Especially on a quiet weekday morning. Chances are we will have it all to our selves. A view of Cathedral like this in your Wedding album is priceless.
Wherever you go in Sedona there are amazing Red Rock backdrops. Each day and every hour of the day is unique. You never capture the same photo twice. The light, the clouds, the shadows reveal new aspects of the Rocks in every moment. Sedona is a very photogenic lady. Truly a photographer’s paradise and a Wedding Photographer’s Delight!
Love’s Longevity
This is one of the Giant Cottonwood Trees that you find along the banks of Oak Creek in Sedona.
They stand testament to many stories of many Brides and Grooms. Their majesty and their wisdom, their silent tales of many generations lends a special strength and support to a Sedona Wedding.
This Cottonwood tree is hundreds of years old and lends a wonderful backdrop to this couple along with a promise of Love’s enduring nature.

Less is More
This photo is of a very ecstatic Ralph and Marcy on their Sedona Wedding Day last September.
Ralph and Marcy are highschool sweethearts with a great story. They went their own way in life and both got married to other people. It was Ralph’s ex-wife of 19 years who found Marcy on the internet and gave her contact info to Ralph!!
They reconnected and have been together ever since.
Ralph took great pains to arrange the perfect Sedona elopement.
He booked our Sedona Memories Package
We arranged the site permit and met him at the Back o’ Beyond Trailhead with a photographer, officiant and one witness. That’s when Ralph and Marcy realized they left their wedding rings back at the hotel.
Thinking quickly our witness fashioned two beautiful rings from some red string he found in his car. We all laughed so much at these new rings and yet when the time came to exchange rings and the strings were blessed and they tied them on each others fingers – those rings became a symbol of all they had been through to come to that moment. There were tears in all of our eyes as those string rings became more precious than gold.
Less really is more – you can tell by their Leap of Joy!
Including Children in your Ceremony
Often a Wedding Ceremony blends a New Family. Grooms instantly become fathers and Bride’s become mothers. Sometimes the new family includes children from both sides.
It is a wonderful idea to include your children in your Ceremony. There are so many ways to do it. Including a child makes them feel a part of the new family, welcomed and valuable.
You may want to do a Candle Ceremony that includes a candle for the child. Or a sand Ceremony in which the children each have their own vessel of colored sand to add to the blended sand vessel.
Or you and your Beloved may choose to say a few words to the child. You can write your own vows to your new step-daughter or son. Make a promise to be a good and loving parent.
Alternatively, after you and your Spouse exchange rings you can present the child with a locket or bracelet also symbolizing their role in your new family.
Any or all of the above are wonderful ways of recognizing, including, welcoming and celebrating the presence of the child in your family.
Sedona Wedding Sites – the Tipi Temple
The Sedona Tipi Temple is the most unique Wedding Location you will find.
In the shadow of Thunder Mountain this beautiful Tipi Temple is large enough for a party of approx. 20 people. The circle shape echoes the circle of your rings and your eternal love. Inside the Tipi Rises high over your head and has the feeling of a pyramid. The acoustics are amazing and the interior walls are the same magenta hue of the local claret cup cactus flowers. The walls themselves have been filled with crystals during construction which amplifies the energy of this spot.
The Tipi Temple is a wonderful location for our Shamanic Wedding package or at the very least some drumming and singing!!
You can learn more about the Tipi temple at our Tipi Temple Package page.
A Sedona Tipi Temple Wedding is very Sacred and very private. This is a beautiful jewel hidden in the heart of the Red Rocks.
10-10-10 Update
10-10-10 was a fabulous day!!
Eight Weddings. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the temperature was perfect. Sedona was the ultimate place to have a 10-10-10 wedding.
I heard on the news that 30,000 couples got married on that day!! talk about popular. 35 of those couples got married at Red Rock Crossing here in Sedona. Red Rock Crossing was the most popular location and 7 of our Weddings took place there.
At one point my husband was on one side of the Creek marrying a couple, I was on the other and there were two Weddings further along the creek above me.
Talk about a day filled with JOY.
All of our Bride’s were beautiful and our grooms dashing. I will post some pictures soon.
Patricia our photographer was kept busy snapping pictures all day. Akal played the flute at one wedding, was the Shamanic Officiant at another. Then he officiated at three others. I officiated 5 of the weddings. All of us kept getting higher and higher and more and more joy filled.
It really was a special day of deepening Unity.
May the Divine Bless all of the Couples married on 10-10-10
Fall Weddings in Sedona
Fall is a very special time in Sedona. The weather is perfect with temperatures in the low 80′s and the bluest skies you have ever seen.
Sedona’s Red Rocks stand out crisp and clear in this autumn light. A Sedona Wedding in the autumn is truly magical. Any time of the day is special. Early mornings have a glow that feels other worldly. Sunsets are full of reds and golds and magenta.
The sun is kind and gentle in the fall here in the high desert. All of our Fall Bride’s shine with an inner and a very serene outer light.
