Moab, Utah
Where the wild ones wed!
Moab is a truly special corner of the Utah desert that just exudes wild romance.
It is a place that will set our soul on fire, and as your local Moab elopement photographers we can’t wait to share it with you.
We’d go so far as to say it’s one of the best places in the US to elope!
From the moment you arrive, it feels like you’ve landed on another planet, or entered into another world even. A world full of adventure, mystery and discovery…
And that’s what you want when you choose to elope, right? Something DIFFERENT.
Meet Your local MOAB Elopement Photographers (dogs optional)
We’re Chad and Vanessa – aka ‘The Outlovers’ – and we are Utah-based elopement photographers.
As locals to the area, we’d love to be your Moab elopement photographers.
We live and breath for desert adventures and know allllll the best spots for your elopement.
Whether you want to hike to a soaring arch at sunrise, off-road to an epic desert overlook for sunset, or light up a fire and stargaze after dark…. We know just the spot.
Better yet?
We know where to find the killer views WITHOUT all the tourists.
We’re not going to take you to the latest Instagram hotspot. Heck no!
We’re going to take you to all the lesser known hidden gems that we’ve found after years of exploring!
“Look no further if you want a down to earth couple who seriously know what they are doing.
Chad and Vanessa are local experts and their knowledge of Moab was invaluable. Our pictures are flawless, absolutely breathtaking!”
– Tina + Brandon

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
No matter your personal adventure level, you’re going to find super cool activities when you elope in Moab.
Maybe you want to go on a professionally guided off-roading tour? Go horse riding beneath the La Sal mountains? Take a private plane ride out to a remote canyon to touch down for sunset? Or perhaps you’d simply like to road trip around one of the national parks?
Your elopement day should be an experience, not a photoshoot.
As your Moab elopement photographers, we’re going to help you line this all up: we know the best companies to work with and how to best fit certain activities into your timeline.
Fully Personalized Ceremony Officiation with All Our Moab elopement Packages
We deeply believe your ceremony MATTERS. And yet it so often gets overlooked: it’s drowned out by all the other wedding planning and becoming a bit of an afterthought.
That moment of sharing lifelong promises and committing your lives to one another really is the true heart and soul of your elopement day.
It deserves more than just a boring, heard-it-all-before generic script and the signing of a piece of paper.
That’s why all of our photography packages include complimentary custom ceremony officiation.
Vanessa is ordained and takes huge pride in getting to know you, your beliefs and your hopes and dreams, and writing a ceremony that is fully personalized to tell your story.
While Vanessa helps you ground yourselves in the moment and guides you through your ceremony, Chad will still be there capturing every tender moment. This is the beauty of hiring a duo!
