I think it’s safe to say that if you’re Googling elopement photographers, you probably value meaningful experiences over, well, just about everything else. Same here! I’ve built my whole career around helping couples break free from big traditions that are often expensive, overwhelming, and honestly—not that fun.
Your wedding day shouldn’t feel like a production or an eight-hour photo shoot. Modern elopements are all about meaningful activities and moments you’ll truly cherish forever. And the best part? I’ll guide you through the entire process. This isn’t about stiff poses or rushed timelines—it’s about creating an unforgettable, stress-free experience that’s completely centered around you
With years of experience and over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that small, intimate celebrations are where the magic truly happens.
Think of me as your elopement sidekick, weather-watcher, location scout, and unofficial snack packer. I’ll handle the logistics so you can soak in the views and enjoy your day to the fullest.

Elope During the Week:
Weekdays are your best bet for avoiding crowds of tourists at Utah’s most popular locations. Weekends tend to be busier due to organized events like marathons, parades, festivals, or protests.
Sunrise or Early Morning Elopements:
For the most privacy and stunning light, consider eloping at sunrise or in the early morning. Not only is the lighting perfect, but you’ll also get to enjoy your location in peace before the crowds arrive.
Plan Ahead for Permits:
Many iconic photo locations in Utah require professional photography permits, especially within national parks like Zion and Bryce Canyon. Be sure to apply through the National Park Service at least two weeks before your date, if not earlier. Not sure how to handle permits? No worries—I’ll walk you through every step to make sure you’re covered.
