About Andrew Holman | Sedona Wedding Photographer & Northern Arizona Photography

I’m Andrew Holman, a professional Sedona wedding photographer and Northern Arizona commercial photographer with over 25 years of experience capturing weddings, events, and architectural spaces throughout Sedona, Flagstaff, Prescott, and the greater Arizona region.

After building my early career in Colorado and Los Angeles, I moved to Sedona, Arizona in 2002 — and have proudly called it home ever since. For more than two decades, I’ve photographed over 1,500 weddings and events across Sedona’s iconic red rock landscapes, luxury resorts, private estates, and intimate elopement locations.

Professional Photography Background
I graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver with a degree in Commercial Photography in 1994. My early career included fine art portraiture, photojournalism, fashion photography, and national publication work.

As a staff photojournalist for the Vail Trail Newspaper, I covered sports, ski competitions, and editorial assignments across Colorado. My work has appeared in The Village Voice, People Magazine, Ski Magazine, and Mother Jones, and I was represented by Gamma-Liaison Photo Agency in New York.

This foundation in fast-paced, real-world photography sharpened my ability to anticipate moments, read natural light, and compose images quickly — skills that directly translate into dynamic, storytelling wedding photography today.

Sedona Wedding Photography Expertise
Since relocating to Sedona, I have specialized in Sedona wedding photography and Arizona elopements, working extensively at:
Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village
L'Auberge de Sedona
Enchantment Resort
Bell Rock
Cathedral Rock
Oak Creek Canyon
Crescent Moon Ranch

From large luxury weddings to intimate red rock elopements, I bring a refined, journalistic approach combined with intentional lighting and composition. My background in commercial and editorial photography ensures clean, polished imagery while preserving authentic emotion.

Sedona’s dramatic desert landscapes, glowing sandstone cliffs, and ever-changing skies require a photographer who understands how to work with intense midday sun, golden hour light, and dramatic twilight conditions. With over 20 years of experience photographing in Sedona, I know how to position couples, manage timelines, and use natural backdrops to create striking, timeless images.

Arizona Wedding & Event Coverage
In addition to Sedona, I regularly photograph weddings and events throughout:
• Flagstaff
• Prescott
• Scottsdale
• Phoenix

Whether your celebration takes place beneath the pine trees of Northern Arizona or against Sedona’s red rock vistas, my goal is to deliver elevated, story-driven photography with professional consistency and artistic depth.

My Approach
My style blends:
• Documentary storytelling
• Direction when needed for confident portraits
• Advanced natural and off-camera lighting techniques
• Strong environmental composition
• Calm, experienced presence on the wedding day

Having photographed more than 1,500 weddings, I understand how to anticipate meaningful moments while maintaining efficiency and professionalism. From luxury destination weddings in Sedona to private estate celebrations in West Sedona, I focus on creating images that feel authentic, beautifully lit, and emotionally genuine.

Why Hire a Local Sedona Photographer?
Hiring a photographer who lives and works in Sedona provides distinct advantages:
• Knowledge of seasonal lighting and weather patterns
