Wedding photography Arizona – The Horseshoe Bend Elopement

Wedding Photography Arizona - The Horseshoe Bend Elopement.

As an elopement photographer, this was my dream elopement. I usually take wedding pictures, elopement, and engagement sessions in the wild landscapes of Costa Rica—waterfalls, volcanoes, beaches—but never a dry desert. So when Fernanda and Andrea told me they wanted their elopement photography at Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, I said yes without hesitation.

This part doesn't look glamorous, but need to be done and I wanted to show you. This is the civil ceremony we had the day before at Las Vegas office of civil marriages.

We started very early at the horseshoe bend. If you search the web to know what is the best hour to shot there, you will find the is not bad at any hour, its just different at all hours. So we decided to be there around 8 a.m.

As an elopement photographer,

I love traveling to stunning locations like Horseshoe Bend in Arizona. The dramatic landscapes and unique desert beauty offer a perfect setting for capturing intimate and adventurous elopement moments. Traveling to such iconic spots allows me to bring a fresh perspective to my photography, blending my experience with Costa Rican nature with the awe-inspiring scenery of places like Horseshoe Bend. It’s a privilege to document love stories in such breathtaking environments, and it fuels my passion for elopement photography.

After we took amazing pictures there, we went for lunch and got ready for our tour to the antelope canyon.

The problem with the antelope was, we didn't have any special tour or something that allow us to take pictures without all the visitors. 
Hopefully we had a great tour guide who gave us the chance to snap some shoots.

At the end of the afternoon we just stop somewhere in the way and had the last pictures with a beautiful light. Then headed forward to Las Vegas and got In 'n out Burger :)

Take it from me, there’s nothing like a job well done. Except the quiet enveloping darkness at the bottom of a bottle of Jim Beam after a job done any way at all.
