Your Dream Elopement in Utah
Why Choose Utah for Your Elopement?
Utah is a playground for adventure seekers and romantics alike. With iconic locations like Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Moab’s Arches, Monument Valley, Capitol Reef, and the Bonneville Salt Flats, it’s the perfect backdrop for couples who want to say “I do” surrounded by nature’s grandeur.
From sunrise ceremonies on red rock cliffs to stargazing in the desert after your vows, your elopement in Utah can be as adventurous or as laid-back as you want.
After photographing over 100 weddings, I discovered that the most meaningful and enjoyable celebrations were the smaller, more intimate ones. Elopements allow couples to focus on what truly matters—each other—without the stress of a big event. My clients were happier, more relaxed, and able to fully embrace their day. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to creating all-inclusive elopement packages designed to make your experience effortless, authentic, and unforgettable.
I’m here to take the stress out of planning your day, whether it’s hiking to a secluded overlook, saying your vows in a red rock canyon, or celebrating under the stars. Together, we’ll create a day that’s all about you and your love story.

MY Advice For planning an elopement in utah:
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.
