Hi! I’m Shannon Durazo
and I would be thrilled to be your Sedona Arizona Elopement Photographer
I moved to Arizona 20 years ago, and made this my home after falling in love with my desert dwelling husband. For me, Sedona was love at first sight. It is the perfect mix of desert and mountains, with a touch of magic that is hard to explain without experiencing it for yourself. From the desert to the mountains, exploring the southwest is where you will find me when I’m not capturing weddings days.
I’ve always been happier outside with dirt between my toes and the wind in my hair. Therefore, elopements out in nature hold a special place in my heart. But don’t worry! I clean up well if your perfect wedding is at a venue. I tend to bring a more calming energy to your day. But if your dance floor is poppin, you better believe you will find me out in the middle of the action!
My Services
Reviews from past couples…
I can’t believe how fortunate my husband and I are to have found and worked with Shannon. I happened to find her on an elopement photographer website and instantly fell in love with her photography. Not only that, but when I inquired as to cost and what she recommended for my specific day she was quick to respond, kind, and honest with her suggestions and advice.
Shannon really does think about every last detail and made the entire process so seamless by asking the right questions and truly understanding the goals we had in mind for our special day. Not only that but she was able to quickly make adjustments when we discovered that some of our older guests could not walk as far as we anticipated. If you have the opportunity to do something exciting and different for your wedding, you should absolutely choose Shannon for your special day. Also did I mention she’s just an overall incredible human being? Thank you Shannon for everything 🙏🏼

I cannot say enough great things about Shannon! My husband and I had never been to Arizona before our elopement. It was nerve-wracking, to say the least, to choose to elope somewhere that you knew nothing about. Shannon assured us she would take care of absolutely everything and made our whole journey essentially stress free! Her elopement guide was so detailed and ensured you wouldn’t forget a single detail on your big day. My husband and I knew we wanted to hike to our vows spot, so Shannon sent us a comprehensive guide of multiple locations, which included details for the hike itself, how busy they would be at what times, pictures, video guides of the hikes and the views, parking situations, and so so much more. Literally all we had to do was pick our spot and show up on time.
AND THE PICTURES! OMG! We have the absolute most breathtaking wedding photos ever. She was so kind and thoughtful. I knew I wanted pictures of the starry sky and to get the perfect shot she let us climb on top of her nice SUV and stand on it!! She literally makes the day all about you (as it should be!) and makes sure you’re comfortable and having a great time. I cannot recommend her enough! Amazing work and she’s an amazing person!
~ Brooke S.
Absolutely best decision we made with our elopement. Once we chose the location- she planned out the day and it was truly amazing. We even had some issues with weather- and she moved things around without any issues. She even scheduled in some time to truly sit and enjoy the day and we appreciated it so so much. And the pictures are absolutely insane- my friends joked that after seeing our wedding pics, they wanted to ‘elope’ and redo their wedding pictures.
Do not even hesitate, if you are looking for an elopement photographer- you found the best one. Thanks again for absolutely everything!

Why I became a Sedona elopement photographer
I never tire of exploring the gorgeous red rock vistas and winding trails between manzanita and barking juniper trees. From the well known- more travelled trails, to hidden caves tucked away in canyon walls. I’ve spent thousands of hours wandering the Arizona desert both in my personal time, and helping couples live out their wildest wedding and elopement dreams.
I love helping couples find the perfect wedding portrait locations. I will even help with extra planning if you are eloping! As an Arizona Elopement Photographer, I will help you plan an adventure that is the right mix of gorgeous views, while avoiding overcrowded trailheads or crazy lines just to snag a few portraits at a popular overlook. Great Experiences make for great pictures!
