SUSANNAH and RAY'S
SEDONA WEDDING
Why Sedona?
Sedona isn’t just the breathtaking backdrop for our wedding—it’s the heart of our love story. It’s where our journey together began and where we’ve returned time and again, hiking the spectacular red rock trails of Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Soldier’s Pass, Subway and many more. Where we swam in Oak Creek, and marveled at the trees on the bank during a sound healing, It’s where we danced at the Yavapai Landing "ecstatic dancing" under the vast desert sky. And, where we once stood in awe as a rainbow stretched from Bell Rock to Gibraltar Rock, as if the universe itself was blessing our journey.
Sedona is a place of majesty, magic, and our deep connection, and we can’t wait to share its beauty and spirit with our closest friends and family as we step into this next chapter together.
