Hotel La More at The Bisbee Inn is a charming historic hotel nestled in the heart of Bisbee, Arizona, built in 1916.

One of its most enchanting features is the lobby adorned with colorful, multicolored lanterns hanging from the ceiling. These vibrant lanterns create a warm and inviting atmosphere, adding to the hotel's unique character and making it a memorable setting for any special occasion.

Best places for weddings in Bisbee, a list by local Bisbee wedding photographer. Wedding venue, elopement and couples photo shoot locations in Bisbee Arizona. The Courtyard, The Bisbee Grand, Main Street, Lowell, and gorgeous dreamy desert wedding and elopement photography locations around Cochise County.

 
 
 

Dreamy photo locations in our fun and funky desert town.

An amazing place for a weekend getaway, artist retreat, family reunion, girls trip, elopement, wedding or just a good old party… I love Bisbee and I know you will too!

I realize there aren’t many resources for wedding planning in my sweet tiny town - even though it’s full to the brim with unique locations and hidden gems. Here are some of the best places for wedding ceremonies and photoshoots around Bisbee, Arizona.

 
 
 

After five years of living in Bisbee, Boston, and a few other places in between - I have come to know and absolutely adore this town. We’ve photographed many of the magical weddings that happen here.

Get in touch about reserving your date with Sister City Photography.

We know Bisbee!

 
 

The Courtyard

A popular venue for its adorable bar full of unique, antique treasures, and cozy outdoor space to dance the night away under the stars. Located in the heart of Brewery Gulch so the afterparty can continue just a few steps away. A wedding fav!

 

Juniper Flats

A winding drive up above the Mule Pass Tunnel leads to Juniper Flats - pull over at the white wall for expansive views overlooking the valley. There are a few hikes up here that are worth the trek.

 

The Bisbee Grand Hotel

Fancy a haunted hotel room? The Victorian Suite is quite picturesque. Here’s our blog post from this A + T’s Bisbee wedding with a photoshoot at the historic Bisbee Grand.

 

Broadway Stairs

An ever-changing and always colorful outdoor art gallery.

 

Bisbee Courthouse

The iconic ivory art deco courthouse makes a perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony or photo shoot.

 

Lowell, AZ

Outside of Old Bisbee is the most colorful “ghost town” you’ll ever see - a street of funky old cars and buildings, located right on the edge of Bisbee’s mining pit, adding to the surreal feeling of this place seemingly stuck in time. Lowell is a tourist favorite, and for good reason. Endless photo opportunities here, just a few minutes away from old town and totally worth the trip.

 

Downtown Old Bisbee

Plenty to see and photograph on Main Street in Old Bisbee. Have a wander down Subway Street, too, for a little less foot traffic and some interesting textures and historic brick buildings.

 

Night time on main street

After the hustle and bustle of your wedding ceremony, take a moment with your hunny to wander down to Main Street for a twirl under Bisbee’s year-round festive string lights.

 

I’m so proud to be capturing love stories in our sweet small town. I love to hear your stories that have led your love to Bisbee.

If you need some insight planning your Bisbee big day, or are looking for photography to capture this moment in time and magical place - get in touch and book a call with Sister City. We can’t wait to photograph you in Bisbee, and beyond!

Gorgeous wedding in cute and quaint Bisbee, Arizona - ten miles from the Mexican border and a world away from anything I’ve seen in the USA.
