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!

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 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!

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!

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!

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.
