Sedona, Arizona, has long been a haven for couples seeking a wedding that feels both adventurous and deeply rooted in natural beauty. For this editorial at Red Agave Resort, I wanted to bring to life the spirit of Sedona’s iconic red rocks while infusing the day with refined elegance and vintage charm.

The vision for this styled shoot was to create a luxurious, yet grounded atmosphere—where the rugged landscape meets sophisticated details. Red Agave Resort, with its panoramic views of Sedona’s red cliffs, offered the perfect backdrop for this vision.

The bride’s look was effortlessly chic, blending the natural with the elegant. Her flowing gown moved with the desert breeze, while the soft, neutral makeup by @seventhavenuebeauty enhanced her natural beauty. The romantic styling allowed her to truly shine in this desert setting, seamlessly connecting with the landscape around her.


The florals by @lilyluxefloral were thoughtfully crafted to complement the surrounding landscape. Subtle, yet impactful, the bouquet featured muted tones and soft textures that elevated the entire shoot, adding dimension and luxury while still feeling organic and earthy. This balance of elegance and rugged desert tones created a perfect harmony.

We incorporated vintage touches throughout, especially in the carefully selected rentals from @onehundredchairs. The natural wood chairs and subtle decor created a warm, welcoming atmosphere, allowing the landscape to remain the star while also adding a touch of sophistication.


The models, @alvaandamor, brought the vision to life with their genuine connection and authentic chemistry. Their easy laughter and gentle moments created an intimate, emotional narrative that felt real and deeply moving—exactly the kind of romance that Sedona inspires.
