Airport Engagement Photos | Sedona, AZ
An engagement session at my favorite place to take photos in Arizona—
Yep, we found it! I am so grateful to have photographed several couples at the Sedona Airport this summer, and it is truly my most beloved little spot. The Airport Mesa offers incredible 360 degree views of the world famous Sedona red rocks, and is quite a popular spot for tourists, especially at sunset. On the grounds of the airport, however, the only bother we have is clearing the run up area when planes are trying to take off. The team at Red Rocks Aviation does an incredible job of taking us and our couples around the airport property to the best photo locations, and I am so excited about what we come up with every time.
If you know me, you know I nerd out about aviation, and have ever since I was a little kid. Before coming to Arizona, I had never gotten the opportunity to take photos on the grounds of an active airport, though it had always been a bucket list item of mine. That all changed this summer when English and Michael (and a few other incredible couples of ours) inquired about doing their engagement photos at the Sedona Airport. This place has been a real treat every time, and this trip included a gorgeous sunset session up on the mesa with English and Michael.
Michael is a commercial pilot who got his license years ago in Prescott and spent much of his time as an instructor taking his students to the Sedona Airport for its particularly tough conditions, and a meal at Mesa Grill. He and English were already planning to take their engagement photos in a very ~ Arizona ~ desert locations, and thought it would be only fitting to take their engagement photos here at the airport. The combination of the unique red rock landscape and the scenic airport ramp and runway made for the ideal setting for these two, who will get married in Prescott later this fall.
How can you have your engagement photos taken at the Sedona Airport? You’ll need permission from the airport authority, proof of insurance provided by your photographer, and to pay their hourly use and security fees. The team at the airport is incredible, every time we’ve taken photos there, they’ve driven us all over the airport property and ramp to the spots with the best views of the red rocks and runway. My favorite time to take photos here is at sunset, as the red rocks look incredibly vibrant in the late afternoon golden sunlight!
