Helicopter Adventure Elopement (Moab, Utah)

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!

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!
