Why choose Honeymoon session in Sedona?
Sedona is an unusual honeymoon destination in that most people who come here are not on a beach and not in a resort — they are walking, and the photographs that come out of it look like two people in a landscape rather than two people posed in front of one. A ninety-minute session here is closer to a short hike with a camera than to a portrait sitting, and that is the reason to book it.
Worth knowing about Sedona
A dress and red rock need one practical decision made in advance: which shoes. The slickrock at Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock is walkable in almost anything with a sole, and it is genuinely not walkable in heels — the sandstone is grippy but uneven and there are short scrambles. Bringing sandals for the walking and heels for the frames is the version that works.

FAQ — Honeymoon session in Sedona
How much walking is involved?
Ten to twenty minutes at Bell Rock and Red Rock Crossing, on uneven slickrock and dirt rather than paved paths. It is not strenuous and it is not smooth. Bring shoes with a sole for the walking and change for the frames — heels do not work on sandstone, and it is the most common thing people get wrong here.
Sunrise or sunset?
Sunrise, if privacy matters. The famous locations fill in the last hour before sunset — Airport Mesa’s lot is full an hour ahead every day — and the same places at six in the morning are nearly empty. The color on the rock is comparable at both ends; the difference is how many people are in it.
