Sariah & Trent’s Sunset Black Canyon City Wedding Portraits

Sariah and Trent planned an intimate evening overlooking Black Canyon City to celebrate their marriage and take wedding portraits. They had already celebrated with their family and friends at a gorgeous temple wedding in the valley, but it was important to them to also have a private adventure for just the two of them. They chose a breathtaking overlook area just 35 minutes north of Phoenix for their Black Canyon City Wedding portraits. The distant rock formations and fairytale golden fields were a perfect place to embrace the freedom they felt with each other out in nature.

We planned a beautiful evening complete with a private dinner setup by a local event rental company, florals, and one of the most breathtaking first dances I’ve ever witnessed. Sariah’s infectious smile effortlessly lights up the world around her. Trent is madly in love with his wife, and it shows in the way he leads her, loves her, and looks at her adoringly as joy exudes through every movement she makes. It was a perfect blend of intimate moments and laughter surrounded by the Arizona desert.

Below are the vendors who brought this Black Canyon City Wedding Portrait session to life.
