Why do I love photographing Elopements?
I’m Hillary Joy—photographer, adventurer, and storyteller based in the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. I’m a traveler at heart, ready to follow love stories wherever they lead, from desert canyons to forested peaks, wild coastlines, and everything in between.
Here’s the thing: I believe your elopement should feel like the adventure of a lifetime, not just a photoshoot. That’s why I’m here—to help you craft an experience that’s not only stunning, but true to you.
Because they just hit differently. They’re intentional. They give you the space to focus on what truly matters. After years of photographing big traditional weddings—fun, but often a whirlwind—I realized my heart was somewhere else. I’m most inspired when I can slow down, be creative, and document the raw connection between two people choosing to do things differently.
I also thrive in the outdoors. Let’s be honest—Mother Nature is the most epic venue you could ask for. Whether it’s golden light spilling over red rocks or a misty forest trail, the wild outdoors offers a backdrop that’s endlessly inspiring and totally one-of-a-kind—just like your story.
If you’re dreaming of an adventure that feels like you, let’s start the journey. Fill out my contact form, and let’s get to know each other—I can’t wait to hear your vision and help bring it to life.
