Last month I had the pleasure of spending a week mountain biking in Sedona Arizona with San Luis Obispo wedding photographer, Colin McVey and Phoenix Arizona wedding photographer, Riley Kimball. Both are accomplished shooters, mountain bikers and awesome guys to have on a trip like this. After a ten month long San Luis Obispo wedding photography season, our only criteria for the trip was to ride each day, eat lots of good food, sample the local spirits and to check out what Sedona had to offer to brides planning Sedona weddings.

Colin and I left San Luis Obispo at 5am in order to get a quick ride in before dark in Williams, AZ. After 10 hours or so in the car, we made it to Williams, which sits around 7000ft. Our selected trail head sent us straight up the side of a snow covered mountain which wreaked havoc on our stiff, long-distance-truck-driver legs. The way down was a lot of fun but, it took an hour for my hands to thaw out. After our Williams ride, we power drove the remaining hour or so to Sedona.

The next few days were spent riding (5 hours plus each day) and exploring Sedona wedding venues and wedding locations. Colin, Riley and I brought with us only our old photography school film cameras. The cameras included a Diana Mini, an LC-A (which is an old Soviet Union era 35mm – my fav.) as well as Polaroid’s and a Rangefinder. There wasn’t a digital camera amongst any of our cargo!

Sedona wedding photographers have it made as the backdrops are simply spectacular.

Sedona Wedding Venues

Tlaquepaque is a small Spanish style chapel with stained glass windows. The alter sits directly below an amazing mural of John the Baptist. The chapel also has a rustic patio area where a reception can take place.

Sedona wedding locations also include numerous golf courses that come fully equipped with everything you might need for your wedding day reception, ceremony or rehearsal dinner.

Many wedding sites in Sedona offer amazing views of the famous red rock landscape. Please see Sedona Wedding Professionals complete list of wedding and reception venues below.
