Your local Moab elopement photographers

For couples who find their deepest connection in the great outdoors

Moab, Utah…
where the wild ones wed

Moab is a truly special corner of the Utah desert that just exudes wild romance.

Moab is a place that will set our soul on fire, and as your 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

Hey, we’re Chad and Vanessa, ‘The Outlovers’. 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, or 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.

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 and can take away every ounce of stress. They are local experts and their knowledge of Moab was invaluable. Our pictures are flawless and absolutely breathtaking!”

– Brandon + Tina

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? Of go horse riding beneath the La Sal mountains? Or 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.

And it’s ALL possible in Moab.

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.

Complimentary ceremony officiation with all our packages

“Chad and Vanessa kept everything so simple for us. Throughout the planning process, we stayed excited and completely at ease knowing we were fully taken of. I can remember telling people how relaxed I was feeling! Our day was absolutely perfect. We felt like we had known Vanessa and Chad for years, and we just had a blast the entire day. Watching their dynamic throughout the day was a joy as well. We could tell they absolutely LOVE what they do and truly cared about us.”
