MOAB ELOPEMENT
PHOTOGRAPHER
Adventure Elopements +
Elevated Micro Weddings
and you want a wedding experience that feels both wild and intentional — adventure that feels doable, not daunting.
A handful of guests who matter most, beautiful landscape around you, and a laid-back, stress-free day that lets you breathe, explore, and truly enjoy it all.
And photos that feel like you’re reliving your favorite day.
So you’ve decided to elope in Moab…
You’ve chosen to get married in Moab for the beautiful vast canyons, desert adventures, adrenaline filled activities, and red rock arches and walls that feel like you’re on Mars.
But planning an elopement or micro wedding can be daunting, especially if you don’t live here or haven’t visited before!
Where do you stay? Where can you celebrate afterwards? How do you apply for National Park permits? How far is it from the trailhead to wine tasting? What hikes are doable in a wedding dress? How can you structure a day that feels intimate and intentional and also bring guests with you?
Planning an elopement can seem impossible - so many decisions, so many opinions, and so many options…
But you don’t have to plan your Moab adventure alone.
Yes I’m your photographer,
but I’m also so much more.
I’m your planning guide, space holder, adventure buddy, and dream wedding facilitator. I’ll hike, climb, off road, help you explore the desert all day, and then recommend the best wine pairing for your celebratory charcuterie board.
While my goal is to give you photos that feel like you’re reliving your favorite day over and over again, I also plan your favorite day from the ground up, and back up all the intentional decisions that you’ve made.

How I Help You Create Your Dream Wedding or Elopement
-
I’ll work with you to craft a custom timeline that captures every meaningful moment of your day, so all you have to do is show up and soak it all in, stress free and totally present.
You get unlimited access to me via email and zoom, and I’ll hold your hand the whole time.
-
Custom location guides for your elopement - all the best stays, restaurants, breweries, and adventures in one Moab guide!
-
I’ll provide you with vendors tailored towards you as a couple and your specific elopement plans - no more google searching for who will travel to Moab!
-
National park rules and regulations can be overwhelming and time consuming, so I’ll be your guide to marriage licensing and coordinate any location permits that you’ll need.
-
If the desert is calling, I’m here to make your adventure elopement dreams a reality! I’ll provide guides to trails, off roading, climbing routes, and easily accessible mountain areas (for the slightly less adventurous - all are welcome here!)
-
My overall goal with every single wedding I photograph is a combination of documentary style photography (so that you get to relive your wedding as it happened every time you look through your gallery) and however much hands on direction you want (so that you get the kind of portraits and detail shots that you’ll love forever).
You’ll get your photos in an online gallery where you can download, share, and print your favorite memories.
You don’t have to choose between adventure and an elevated experience - let me help you plan BOTH.
Jessica and Al spend so much time in the desert together, and it only made sense for them to make it official in Moab. They wanted to elevate their normal camping experience for their micro wedding, so I guided them to Under Canvas Moab - a stunning glamping resort outside of town. They got ready and had their first look at sunrise on the property, then held their ceremony with their closest people (and dog!) at a beautiful cliffside overlook.
They celebrated by doing what they do best - taking their Jeep on the adventurous White Rim trail, saying private vows with a panoramic desert view to themselves, and making brunch together. They met up with their guests later back at Under Canvas with a private chef dinner as the sun set behind the red rock cliffs.
I love helping couples find their perfect amount of adventure without skipping the things that are important to them - a unique stay, professional vendors, and good wine to end the night.
Ready for the best day with no regrets?

"Zandra worked with me throughout the entire planning process to make sure my vision came to life - she was so organized! She was such a huge help on our wedding day really going above and beyond what I would have expected, she made us all feel so comfortable like we've been friends for years."

Frequently Asked Questions

I generally book 6-12 months in advance, but some couples book with even more or less time than that!
6+ months allows for the best dates, locations, vendors, and overall experience.
-
Absolutely. Whoever is important to you is important to me. I want you to have BOTH - an intimate elopement experience, and celebrating with your favorite people (and animals)
