Red Rock Cliffside Elopement in Sedona, Arizona – Emily and Alex decided to go an a little adventure for their wedding day by eloping in the beautiful desert town of Sedona.
They drove across the country to elope on the edge of a cliff with no one else around apart from a violinist, a photographer and an officiant present.

Officiant: Lets Knot and Say We Did
This intimate elopement experience meant they could concentrate on each other and celebrate their love by spending quality time together.
On the morning of their elopement, the soon to be newlyweds got ready in their western-themed Airbnb together in downtown Sedona.
Emily wanted to keep up the tradition of not letting the groom see her wedding dress so her dress was kept hidden while Beauty By Bobby did her hair and makeup.
Next up was travelling to their chosen elopement spot and to get there it’s either a 7 mile hike or the bumpiest drive/off-road experience ever!
Emily and Alex courageously drove in their own 4WD to the spot so no hike was necessary and once they got there they took their outfits up in their bag to get changed on the cliffside.
Once Emily and Alex got close to the cliffside they parted ways to go and get ready for their First Look. Alex changed into his dark blue suit and Emily put her wedding dress on…
It was an emotional moment for the two of them during their First Look especially with Alex seeing Emily in her dress for the first time. They hugged each other before Emily got ready to walk down the aisle.
Now the moment was here, the ceremony was about to begin. Electric violinist, Selin Esko began playing a beautiful piece on the violin and Emily began to walk down the aisle towards Alex.
Everyone was emotional and Brittany, the officiant, from Let’s Knot and Say We Did performed a beautiful ceremony for them.
Emily and Alex expressed their own personal vows to each other which were so heartfelt and meaningful and both of them even managed to quote from the same song in their vows without knowing. They are truly meant to be!
We love it when couples choose to do something unique to them on their elopement day and Emily and Alex certainly did that!
They brought special Arizona beers with them and shotgunned them to celebrate their marriage. Shotgunning is when you punch a hole at the bottom of a beer can and drink it!
But after the rocky, bumpy ride the beers had on the road up to this location, the beer ended up spraying everywhere which created this amazing image of a sparkly glitter explosion all around them.
Keep scrolling to see their amazing day unfold as well as their very unique celebration after becoming husband and wife!

The Grand Canyon is without a doubt one of the most famous locations in not just the state of Arizona but the whole of the U.S. It’s a 277 mile long masterpiece of carved red rock and offers incredible views…
But what you may find interesting to know is the red rock formations of Arizona don’t end there. There’s a whole lot more to see in this state and the Grand Canyon is just the beginning…
Approximately 100 miles south of the Grand Canyon is the desert town of Sedona and the aptly named Red Rock Scenic Byway, aka Highway 179. The town of Sedona is known for being surrounded by lots of red rock buttes (isolated rock formations with flat tops and steep sides).
These red rock buttes can be seen clearly from the Sedona town and appear to rise up next to you as you drive down the 14 mile long scenic highway.
