elopement and vow renewal photo and Video Services
Planning an elopement or vow renewal can feel like a full-time job... permits to track down, timing to perfect, locations to research, and a million tiny details that somehow all matter. It’s a lot, and honestly, it can get overwhelming fast. That’s where I come in.
I handle the logistics, the planning, and all the little details that nobody wants to deal with. So you can focus on each other, get a little dusty, laugh a lot, and walk away with photos that actually make people stop mid-scroll.
Okay, so you’re thinking Zion… let’s make this easy.
You bring the love. I’ll bring the maps, the snacks, and the camera.
hidden caves, slot canyons, and the wild desert backdrops of kanab?
a dreamy stretch of desert dotted with Joshua trees and endless sunset skies around st. george?
Sunrise at Zions Canyon Overlook Trail?
I’ll take you straight to the spots that make your jaw drop.
"And if you're anything like me, you look for high quality, by someone who catches your mojo, and makes you look way hotter than reality would actually condone.
Stephanie. Does. That."

Destination elopement
photographer based in UtAH
With years of experience and over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that small, intimate celebrations are where love really shines. The meaning of the day is focused, the vibes are real, and the party beats anything a ballroom could offer.
I grew up exploring Utah’s scenic routes, and this landscape will always feel like home. Now, I get to help couples experience it for themselves, without the stress or guesswork. 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.
With how real their day feels.
With photos that look like art, but still feel like them.
With moments they didn’t even realize were happening until they saw the gallery and cried all over again.

“She was very knowledgeable of different poses and had an eye for different areas to get the best pictures. She was very prompt and able to keep a flow going. She even gave me advice for how to keep my extensions in... and they stayed in the remainder of the day. I would definitely recommend and would work with Stephanie again!”

“Stephanie is amazing!! I hired her to fly out to Oregon and take our photos on the coast. She was so easy to work with. I had a vision and she executed it perfectly! The photos we got were AMAZING and I can’t stop looking at them!! If you’re on the fence about hiring her, this is your sign to do it!! She’s the best!!!
“Steph is a super fun, upbeat photographer who knows how to have fun. Photo shoots with her are more like a party than a checklist item. Not to mention, her pictures are amazing. She has a great way of making them feel natural and catching the little moments. I would definitely recommend Steph for anyone who’s looking!”
“My Husband and I are both in the Military and living outside the United States. It was already difficult planning a wedding in the United States when we lived in another country, but with Stephanie’s help it was so easy and stress-free. ”

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.
