Blog post - Desert Dreams | Moab, Utah Adventure Elopement | 15th February 2024 | By Kelly

Desert Dreams | Moab, Utah Adventure Elopement

Letti + Stephen’s Moab, Utah Adventure Elopement

In the heart of Utah’s breathtaking desert landscape lies the enchanting town of Moab, Utah a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and romantics alike. For Letti and Stephen, a couple hailing from Salt Lake City, Moab held a special place in their hearts—a place where their love story began and where they chose to embark on their next adventure together.

United by their shared passion for mountain biking, Letti and Stephen first met on the trails of Moab, Utah years ago. It was a chance encounter that would forever change the course of their lives, igniting a spark that would eventually lead them back to the red rock canyons to declare their love in solitude.

As their elopement photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the intimate moments leading up to their elopement. From the quiet anticipation of getting ready at their Airbnb to the joyous celebration on the trails, every photograph was a testament to the love and laughter shared between them.

On the day of their elopement, we ventured to a nearby state park, where towering cliffs and sweeping vistas provided a stunning backdrop for their ceremony. With the warm desert breeze as their witness, Letti and Stephen exchanged heartfelt vows, their love echoing through the canyon walls.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the desert landscape, Letti and Stephen embraced as newlyweds. In that moment, surrounded by the timeless beauty of Moab, Utah they were reminded of the magic that had brought them together and the countless adventures that awaited them.

In the months and years that followed, Letti, Stephen, my husband Alex and I forged a friendship bound by our shared love for adventure and the beauty of Moab. And as we continue to explore the trails and create new memories together, their story serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love in all its forms.

As we continue to explore the trails and create new memories together, their story serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love in all its forms.

And as luck would have it, living just an hour and a half from Moab, in Grand Junction, CO, I am grateful for the opportunity to witness and capture the magic of this desert town time and time again.

I love what I do….

and so do they

“I cannot express how AMAZING Kelly was on our wedding day. She made us so comfortable, so at ease, my partner and I never felt self conscious in front of the camera. I cried when she sent us our sneak peak photos, they are unbelievable! Can’t recommend enough!!!”
