A Moab elopement is for couples who want to soak up the desert magic, have space to breathe, and build a wedding day that actually feels like them.
There are no rules to planning the
perfect moab day.
What makes
Moab so special?
The dramatic red rock formations of Moab create a breathtaking backdrop for adventurous “I dos.” From its otherworldly landscapes to its free-spirited vibe, Moab offers a one-of-a-kind setting for your elopement. Here are a few reasons couples fall in love with this desert paradise:
iconic scenery
Think dramatic red rock formations, natural arches, slot canyons, and wide-open desert views. The light out here is pure magic — especially at sunrise and sunset.
endless adventure
Hike, climb, paddle, 4x4, or simply wander. Whether you're after a laid-back morning or a full day of exploration, Moab has something for every kind of couple. and brewery trail. Come ready to explore!
space to celebrate
You can keep it just the two of you or bring along your people. Moab offers both off-the-grid ceremony spots and welcoming local spaces for dinner or a small reception.

“We simply cannot say enough amazing things about Aimee!! From the very start she was WONDERFUL. She was super flexible, helpful, and inspiring when we were trying to make decisions for spots/plans for the engagement shoot and our wedding day - I remember her words to me being “Dream big!”. She worked so hard to understand our vision we had for our engagement shoot and wedding day, and she truly blew us away with both!”

“Aimee is a ray of sunshine casting light at all the perfect moments in the most perfect ways ♥️ My husband and I couldn’t have been more grateful to Aimee. She not only captured every tender and spectacular moment but she was also a voice of reason and calm- such a vital friend to have around our crazy and roll-with-the-punches family."
Jenny and Mick
“Aimee is such a gifted photographer (praise given by two pretentious NYC art school grads) and was the second best wedding-related decision we made, aside from marrying each other. 100/10 would recommend! don't blink! Just book her. ;)”
These are the kinds of moments we’ll capture together: real, unscripted, and totally you — with the most breathtaking backdrops you can imagine.
Big Views. Big Feelings. Real Love in Moab.
Big Views. Big Feelings. Real Love in Moab.
Here’s what that looks like in real life:
- Scouting hidden arches + trails so your vows feel private and unforgettable
- Fixing wind-blown veils or last-minute hiccups when the desert has other plans
- Keeping the vibes relaxed + fun so you never feel stiff or staged
- Capturing candid in-between moments you’ll treasure just as much as the big ones
My approach is relaxed and documentary-driven because I want your day to feel totally you — no stiff poses, no stress, just genuine connection, belly laughs, and unforgettable memories. Whether it’s climbing a canyon, chasing a desert sunset, or stargazing under endless skies, I’m all in.

Do we need a permit to elope in Moab?
Yes, most popular spots like Arches and Canyonlands National Parks require a permit for ceremonies. Dead Horse Point State Park and some BLM (Bureau of Land Management) areas also have permit rules. I’ll help guide you through which locations need them, how much they cost, and how far in advance to apply.
What’s the best time of year for a Moab elopement?
Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are the most popular because of comfortable temps and gorgeous light. Summer can be extremely hot, and winter is quieter but can bring chilly nights. Sunrise and sunset are always the best times of day for photos.
Do we have to hike to get epic photos?
Not at all. Moab has plenty of incredible overlooks you can drive right up to. If you’d like a little adventure, there are short hikes under a mile that lead to stunning arches and canyon views. And for full-day explorers, there are longer hikes or jeep tours that reach some truly wild spots.
Can we bring guests to our Moab elopement?
Absolutely! Some locations allow up to 25–50 guests with a permit, while others are better suited for just the two of you. If you’re planning a micro wedding, I can help you choose the right spot that fits both the scenery and group size.
Can we include adventure activities in our elopement?
Yes! That’s one of the best parts of eloping in Moab. You can add a jeep tour, hot air balloon ride, stargazing session, or even a private chef dinner at your Airbnb. I’ll help you build a timeline that weaves in both your ceremony and the fun extras.
