Let’s hit the road, lovers

WILD AND ALIVE.

We’ll never forget how it felt when we snuck away from our big wedding and disappeared into the national park for a few stolen moments together in nature. It was like we were the only two people on earth, that’s how cinematically beautiful and heart-crushingly intimate it was.

It shook us up so much, we now help other spirited couples craft a whole elopement adventure around that feeling of raw intimacy. Along for the wild ride with you, we’ll capture candid photographs and film vignettes of all the authentic, tender, hilarious, breathtaking, thrilling, and stripped-back moments that make your day YOUR day.

We cherish the real friendships we have built with every single couple we've had the privilege of working with for the past 7 years. Your adventures become a part of us and are so much more than just another wedding.

It’s just you and the love of your life having a helluva good time, against the backdrop of one of the most ruggedly gorgeous locations in the Western United States. Ready to hatch a wild plan? We’re game!

We’re Chad

Why us & why Sedona?

The red dust is ingrained in us (and every tiny crack of our cameras!)

We reimagined Sedona adventurous elopements eight years ago and have specialized in them since!

We’ve experienced everything the high desert can offer- epic blizzards, insane heat waves, flash floods, nearby wildfires, miles of traffic, and everything in between. We’ve got you covered for your Sedona wedding so you’ll have no worries!

As locals that have called sedona our home for over 8 years now, we love getting to showcouples from all over the world our backyard!

We are a small team that doesn’t just let anyone be a part of the Wilder West crew. Each person on our team has been a part of elopements for over 5 years and hand selected and trained by Caitlyn. We aren’t interested in mass production of elopements-

we only take on a certain amount per season to ensure quality over quantity! You aren’t just another couple to us.

You sound like my kind of people!

"The dedication to their craft is unmatched; it’s clear to see why Wilder West is the premium elopement photographers of Sedona and surrounding areas. Highly recommend to anyone looking for breathtaking photography and an amazing experience! Their work will let us relive our perfect day for years to come." S & J

It felt like we were hanging out with one of our closest friends. Caitlyn made us feel so extremely comfortable and
had the entire day planned ahead of time. She has such a calm and welcoming personality which helped my
anxiety a ton! When we got up to Cathedral Rock she had champagne ready for pictures and the timing was
PERFECT to enjoy the sunset! I could not imagine our day going any more perfect.

When we first called Caitlyn, we immediately knew our crazy dream could become a reality

Both she and her husband, Chad, are a stand-up team - they planned our elopement in two weeks, and helped us source locations, hair and makeup, florist, and even hooked us up with our awesome officiant, Kat! Not only is Caitlyn extremely talented, but she and Chad are also super nice and so down to earth, you'll come away with new friendships. Thank you guys, so so much, for being a part of "our village"!
