John + Joanna / Moab Under Canvas Photographer

Joanna works in the fashion industry in NYC, but they decided to ditch the Big Apple and head to Moab Under Canvas for an intimate desert elopement. It was absolutely stunning in every way.

Amanda + Adam / Whispering Oaks Wedding Moab Photographer

Fall in the La Sal mountains is SUCH a beautiful time of the year. I loved how A+A incorporated both the desert landscape and the mountains into their Whispering Oaks Ranch wedding. And I literally stopped in my tracks when I rounded the corner and saw the perfect lines of the white aspens, the color of the foliage and the soft light spilling onto the road. We all hopped out and enjoyed the magic. Photographing weddings is seriously the best job in the world.

Allie + Joe Whispering Oaks / Moab Wedding Photographer

Allie and Joe chose to divide their session between two days: 7 hours coverage at Whispering Oaks and 2 hours coverage at Canyonlands National Park. Their gorgeous dinosaur-themed (he proposed at a dino-quarry!) Moab wedding was absolutely beautiful. Loved every minute with these two!

Lindsey + Cory // Moab Wedding Photographer

As a photographer living in Moab, Utah I feel like instead of having to find locations to shoot at, I have to decide which of the million locations around me fits the couple, the weather, our time. Dead Horse Point is one of my favorite photography locations and I will never get tired of capturing the magic that happens up here night after night. So excited for these two beautiful people and all of their adventures forever and ever. xoxo!

How to plan an Arches Nat’l Park Elopement:

I’ve been around the Moab desert A LOT. In fact, I worked as a park ranger at Arches and Canyonlands Nat’l parks. I lived in the park boundaries and without cell service or wifi, we spent our evenings and mornings trail running, wandering the trails and cliffs and climbing. Little did I know at the time, that all of that roaming around would allow me to help brides and grooms and out-of-towners plan the absolute perfect desert elopement right here in Moab, Utah. So, if you want to know how to plan an incredible desert elopement in Arches Nat’l Park or anywhere around Moab, Utah just contact me and I’ll send my brochure your way. It will help you bring your vision into reality and I’ll just be there to quietly document it all.

Watching the mood of the photos shift with the setting of the sun is one of my favorite things. I love light— the time of day is like choosing a flavor and evening at Dead Horse Point is some of the most dramatic and best light around. Annnnd Ashley + Darren pretty much slayed this session like they were born for this. Obsessed. { [ Moab wedding photographer, Moab elopement photographer, desert Moab photoshoot , engagement photos in Dead Horse Point ]

Trying to play it cool when I’m mentally freaking out about how awesome everything about this session was! Loved wandering around with these two, hearing how they met, fell in love (both collegiate swimmers— wow! He’s from Europe— another wow!) and watching the sun dip lower over the horizon. I have the best job. For real.

Hannah + Chris / Moab Wedding Photographer

This adventure elopement in the Moab, Utah desert was absolute perfection. Chris and Hannah are both climbers who love to come to Moab. We talked about where to go for their adventure desert elopement and this spot was just what they were hoping for. I love it when couples bring their families and closest friends to celebrate their union as well. So glad I could be part of this beautiful national park wedding!

Lindsey + Cory / Moab Wedding Photographer

The forecast was ominous but it didn’t faze these two at all. They went for it and the result was pure magic. Rain, sun, rainbows, clouds, drizzle, fog— we pretty much had it all. I cannot wait to shoot their Moab wedding in two months!

Marcela + Justin / Moab Photographer

Marcel and Justin’s elopement at Arches National park was so incredible. They were so relaxed and really left the location choice and schedule of photography up to me, which was great! It meant I was able to choose which locations would look best. Justin woke up early and climbed the Three Gossips in Arches with his groomsmen and still had enough time to dress and make it to the wedding. These two met climbing and working in Yosemite, so it was fitting that they would choose a climbing destination like Moab for their wedding with family and friends.

Isha + Mark / Moab Wedding Photographer

When Isha and Mark told me that they wanted to capture their love for the city, the outdoors and Isha’s Indian heritage, I was totally on board. We had a fabulous (and freezing) time wandering the desert and swapping outfits in crazy locations. I was amazed by their great attitude, their ease in front of the camera and their vision. Loved every minute working with these two wonderful people.

Moab Under Canvas is the perfect glamping location for the adventure bride. I loved photographing Erin + Drew’s amazing outdoor wedding here in Moab!

Megan + Joe / Moab Wedding Photographer

It was a complete downpour in the morning. One of those summer rains that comes out of the blue and drenches the desert. It is always a leap of faith to get ready for your outdoor wedding during one of these monsoons, but they usually end about as fast as they start. And it is almost always a guarantee to have some of the best sky photos the desert can offer. This small wedding was just perfection.

Kate + Ben // Moab Wedding Photographer

I love it when couples are like, “Hey! We want to hike three miles in our wedding attire…” I’m never going to say no to that. Stealing away with just the two of you right after your first moments as husband and wife? The photos flow so naturally because the magic is already there in the commitment.

M'kenna + Tyler

This Arches National Park elopement was incredible! The lighting was gorgeous, I loved the relaxed mood and the warm summer morning.

Karey + Marc / Moab Elopement Wedding Photographer

One of those Moab weddings where I could NOT stop smiling… like ear-to-ear. These two just kept getting more amazing. First, they met while living in Holland (Marc is Dutch) and fell in love. Their relationship grew despite living on different continents. Then, Karey was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. And they beat it. The odds, the distance, the universe. And then decided to come to Karey’s special place: Moab, Utah, where they made their union official! I loved being a part of this… and her style is sooooo fun. Totally unique and creative.
