Elopement experiences built for couples who crave Connection and Authenticity
Is getting amazing photos that reflect your unique personalities a top priority in your elopement planning? Great news… You’ve found the right place!
I specialize in helping couples create lasting memories, while creating core memories. My couples tend to lean heavily into carving out time in their elopement experience for just the two of them. I enjoy elopements that involve exciting adventures such as tough hikes, rock climbing, or off-roading. Adrenaline seeking not your thing? I also love a good adventure-light day filled with activities like nature walks, stargazing, or picnics.
Because there is no *right* way to lay out your day, we will work together to make sure your elopement fits the two of you.

Hi! I’m Shannon Durazo
…and I would be thrilled to be your Sedona Elopement Photographer!
I love helping couples incorporate the outdoors into their wedding days, so specializing in elopements was a natural path. However, I also love larger weddings with a nature centric vibe, so I take on about 10-15 larger weddings per year.
Sedona was definitely love at first sight for me. The perfect mix of desert and mountains, with a touch of magic that is hard to explain without experiencing it for yourself. Call it energy vortexes, or just an all around great atmosphere… Sedona is overflowing with good vibrations!
High five if you started singing good vibrations in your head 🤗
Come enjoy breathtaking red rock formations combined with incredibly talented local vendors to support your elopement day vision. I would LOVE to help you capture it all!

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!
~ Ashley S.
Above all, I promise to fiercely protect your elopement experience.
