ZION ELOPEMENT
PHOTOGRAPHER
Adventure Elopements + Elevated Micro Weddings in Southern Utah
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 Zion…
You’ve chosen southern Utah because it’s is full of beautiful, iconic landscapes, red rock walls and cliffs, and the perfect combination of adventures and high end experiences.
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 permits? 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 Zion elopement alone!
You don’t have to choose between adventure and an elevated experience - let me help you plan BOTH.
I’m your photographer of course, but I’m also 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 - whether you’re wanting a secluded desert area to say your vows, or a stunning secondary location near town.
-
I’ll provide you with vendors tailored towards you as a couple and your specific elopement plans - no more google searching!
-
National and State 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 desert adventures are calling, I’m here to make your adventure elopement dreams a reality! I’ll provide guides to trails, off roading, climbing areas, and easily accessible viewpoints (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.
Already less stressed?
Good, I’ve got you.
Ready for the best day with no regrets?

FAQs
-
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)
