As an Arizona native who’s always been in love with weddings, I’m pretty much in love with all of the magical & dreamy wedding venues from Phoenix to Tucson to Prescott. I’ve dreamed of every single wedding venue throughout all the desert and forest cities this state has to offer, and it’s an amazing thing to have so many types of venues to choose from. And some of my absolute favorites are the modern arizona wedding venues all over the state — with the perfect mix of desert views and industrial charm.
Choosing the right wedding venue goes hand in hand with the photographs you dream of for your special day. The right wedding venue sets the mood, tone, composition, and lighting for your captured moments and memories. While I do my thing capturing your day like your oldest friend, the venue you choose is the backdrop to your story. A great wedding venue can help make your wedding dream come to life — and I want to help you find the venue you’ve always dreamed about.
Here are my favorite modern arizona wedding venues, for the couples who want a unique, 2020 twist on wedding traditions.

if a big, traditional, long-guest-list wedding isn’t your thing and you’d rather run away to the red sedona mountains or say your vows in the grand canyon, that’s cool too. check out my guide on where to elope in arrizona here.
