NOT INCLUDED: obviously you need to get yourself to Moab, Utah. But consider this a favor because you’ll fall in love with this place if you haven’t already. Also, catering. We’ll give you a list of our top folks to help you find a good fit, but that’s not covered in this mega giveaway. And your suit/dress — you might as well use the $$ you didn’t spend and get yourself a killer gown and suit! Our fav designers are Rue De Seine, BHLDN, Haley Paige and Vera Wang. But there are soooo many others! Can’t wait for one of you to elope in this red rock desert!

My favorite wedding moment of all time happened during this Moab desert elopement. Kyle + Andrea (plus me!) drove 30 miles down a paved road, another fifteen miles down a dirt road, and hiked for 20 minutes in their full wedding attire to an incredibly remote cliff edge. We were totally engrossed in our photo shoot having a blast when a helicopter approaches and the bride and groom's moms are both INSIDE THE HELICOPTER!! Snapping pics and waving! They chartered a helicopter to crash the elopement and I caught it all on camera. We were laughing so hard our cheeks ached. The bride BASE jumps and the groom flies helicopters for a living... their adventurous spirit must have been an inherited trait. And props to those mamas. They weren't going to be left out!
