Zion Elopement Photography
A quick guide to where to elope and what to do for your Zion Elopement
If you have never been to Utah, you must add Zion to the top of your list!
You can’t beat what Zion National Park has to offer. Between the rugged red rocks, many slot canyons and river watches, blue sunny skies, unique desert wildlife and grand vista views… it’s a great place to visit.
Not only is there so much beautiful nature to see and explore, but if you like (or want to try!), hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, dirt biking/ATV-ing or even enjoying good food, a little shopping and enjoying a relaxing spa day… Zion is for you!

Alex is the most amazing Elopement photographer!! If you want a day that is intimate, unique to your needs and vision, you can count on Alex to go above and beyond to make your day perfect. We could not have found someone more caring and thoughtful who truly made us feel at ease taking photos and planning a wedding from out of state. Alex scoped out the trails multiple times beforehand to make sure they were accessible and had the exact feel and views that we were looking for. She sent us multiple vendors and options well ahead of time and thought of all the important things like snacks, keeping us on schedule, parking, and even came prepared with a pretty hanger (which I never would’ve thought of) to take pictures of my dress! All of the photos came out amazing and our family is forever grateful to have such gorgeous pictures since they couldn’t all be there in person. This experience definitely exceeded expectations and we will never forget it. Thank you so much Alex ❤️!!!!
Alex was incredible every step of the way! Seriously, if you are looking for an awesome elopement photographer, look no further.
We eloped at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The night had heavy wind and way more water than we were expecting. Alex came prepared for everything and had made a detailed plan with us beforehand on the shots we wanted and our vision for our big day.
She is a pleasure to work with, super knowledgeable, and professional.
We got our pictures back in less than 3 weeks and they were absolutely stunning and will be memories we cherish for a lifetime!
