Here's the next steps to booking your associate photographer with White Desert Photography:
An adventure session is choosing a location for your session that usually takes more time to get to, this includes Doe mountain, Cathedral Rock and Merry go Round Rock.
Some spots require a long hike, some require a rugged jeep ride and have different rates.
These sessions cost more because of the planning involved and the extra time to get to the locations for these epic photos. Plus we take photos all along the way, it's an overall experience that isn't just about the photos!
An adventure session can be added to your engagement, elopement or even wedding day as a day after session!
A typical adventure session is about a three-hour excursion experience, so grab your hiking boots and wedding attire and let's get out there!
Victoria began working as a wedding planner assistant in 2014.
The position helped her realize her love for weddings and understand how weddings are planned and coordinated from behind the scenes.
For the next four years, she began shooting elopements on her own and assisting with other photographers while she obtained her photography degree from Northern Arizona University.
In 2018, Victoria started White Desert Photography full time and is now grown into a team of artists ready to capture your day!
Victoria has worked with each of her team members at numerous weddings and trusts her team to create everlasting memories.

Everyone feels awkward about photos! It's true!!
We work with all kinds of couples, who all feel differently about getting their photos taken.
We will help guide you to the best poses and do our best to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Sometimes it just takes some warming up and it helps if we can get to know each other more before the session or wedding day.
This is why we highly recommend doing an engagement session, which is included in Victoria's wedding collections, to ensure we get you comfortable before the wedding day!

“My husband and I planned a small elopement in Sedona. I found Victoria on Instagram and loved her style. We went through the planning process without a wedding planner which proved to be difficult. Victoria was so helpful in making suggestions and pointing us into the right direction, even though I know she really didn’t have to do that as our photographer. On the day of the wedding, she was prompt in arrival and swift in ensuring that she captured everything. In our evening shoot, we went to 2 locations but looking at our pictures it appears that we went to at least 20. She has an amazing eye for photography and truly captured the spirit of our relationship. The quality is excellent and we could not be happier with how our photos turned out. Victoria is a gem. If you are looking for a down to earth and talented photography, choose White Desert Photography!”
“Totally WORTH IT! Highly recommend!
Victoria is amazing behind the camera. I am usually really camera shy but I was so comfortable. It literally felt like a DREAM! We enjoyed each breath taking moment!”
“Our wedding was originally March 2020 and she was so great during that difficult time of unexpected rescheduling. When we finally met 2 years after our first email exchange she made us feel so comfortable and at ease.
We would 100% recommend her to anyone and would be thrilled to have her take our photos again.”
“We hired her for our engagements, bridals and wedding day and we absolutely LOVED having her to capture these special moments. Victoria, is personable yet professional, and by the end of these shoots we felt she was a dear friend.”
