I’m Hillary Joy—photographer, adventurer, and storyteller based right here in the heart of Sedona, Arizona. From the red rock canyons to pine-covered mountains, sun-drenched deserts to hidden waterfalls—Arizona has it all, and I’m here to help you explore it in the most meaningful way.
I believe your elopement should feel like an unforgettable adventure—not just a photoshoot, but an experience that’s completely you. That’s where I come in—to help you craft a day that’s stunning, intentional, and true to your story.
Why do I love photographing elopements?
Because they offer something real. Elopements allow you to slow down, focus on what matters most, and create space for genuine connection. After years of photographing big traditional weddings—fun, sure, but often a blur—I realized I was craving something more personal, more intentional. Smaller, adventurous weddings light me up. They give me the chance to document your love creatively and authentically.
And Arizona? It’s the dreamiest backdrop. From golden light spilling over the red rocks of Sedona to the cool stillness of a forest up north or the wide-open desert skies—it’s pure magic. Every location, every moment, every couple is one-of-a-kind, and I’m here for all of it.
