UTAH ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
for chill, adventure-ish couples who want a photographer that feels a little more like a trusted friend than a vendor
i see you, i’ve been you.
Maybe you're tired of thinking about seating charts and centerpieces when all you really want is to focus on marrying your best friend. Maybe you're dreaming of saying "I do" with red rock walls as your witness instead of 150 people you haven't talked to in years.
You want your wedding day to feel like the best adventure you've ever been on together - intimate, intentional, and completely stress-free. But here's the thing: planning an elopement can feel overwhelming when you don't know where to start.
That's exactly where I come in.
You're craving something different for your wedding dayPhotos you can feel, moments you can't get back
Your Utah elopement gets to be exactly what lights you up. Maybe that's saying your vows while the canyon walls hold space around you, or maybe it's a cozy Airbnb ceremony where you can actually breathe and soak in every single moment with your person.
Whatever feels most like you two - that's what we're creating. I'm here to handle all the beautiful details and capture every unposed, heart-full moment so you can just be completely present with each other.
Because honestly? This day is about your love story, not anyone else's expectations. Let's make it feel like the best adventure you've ever been on together.
HOWDY, I’M ALEXIS (she/her)
I'm not just your photographer - I'm your elopement planning partner.
While other photographers just show up and take pictures, I help you navigate the entire experience. From finding the perfect Utah location that matches your vibe to handling permit logistics and crafting a timeline that flows naturally - I've got you covered.
My documentary approach means I capture the real, unposed moments that make your heart skip a beat. Think: the way they look at you during your vows, the quiet moments between the big ones, the authentic emotions that can't be recreated.
MY FAV WAYS TO SERVE YOU
a nostalgic, documentary-style approach to the fleeting, in-between moments of parenthood—messy hands, quiet cuddles, windblown hair. your family’s story, just as it is.
Motherhood + Family
storytelling-focused photography that captures the raw, unfiltered emotions of your day, with Zion’s landscapes as a stunning backdrop. intimate, cinematic, and entirely you.
Elopements & Weddings
for couples who crave movement, connection, and the freedom to explore. whether it’s hiking to a scenic overlook or wandering through the desert at sunset, I document the moments that feel like yours.
Adventure Sessions
your Utah ELOPEMENT or INTIMATE WEDDING should feel true to you
Your elopement day in Utah isn’t about following a script or fitting into traditions that don’t feel like you—it’s about carving out a path that’s entirely your own. It’s waking up to the quiet promise of sunrise, slipping on your boots, and setting off hand-in-hand toward the adventure of a lifetime.
Maybe your dream day involves coffee on a trail, dancing under the stars, or holding each other close in the stillness of it all. Whatever it is, I’m all here for it and so freaking stoked to celebrate you and your love.
This day is yours, and you deserve the freedom to focus on each other—not on timelines, logistics, or endless checklists. That’s where I come in. My role as your Utah Elopement Photographer is to handle the moving parts so you can let go of the noise and truly embrace the moment.
I specialize in creating dreamy, intimate, and adventurous elopement experiences that are true to your story. My editing style is moody yet true-to-color with a nostalgic feel that makes your photos feel like treasured memories from day one.
But here's what really sets me apart: I take care of the logistics so you can be completely present. Location scouting, permits, timeline building - consider it handled.
love notes from my fav people
“Alexis was so attentive and captured everything we asked for and things we didn’t even know we wanted. We communicated what we were looking for and she helped us curate a vision so we had inspo going into everything. Alexis made the day so easy and I felt no pressure to strike a pose when she was around which allowed us to be present in the moment. Beyond capturing all the genuine moments, our guest raved about what an awesome addition she was to the day, and love the pictures she captured of them in the dance floor.”

“Our experience with Alexis was a breath of fresh air. It’s always stressful with 3 young children, but she made it so comfortable. We were able to relax and play. My kids ran around while she artistically documented them as they are. There weren’t any awkward moment where we didn’t know what to do, or the kids felt forced. We got a mixture of everyone smiling, looking at the camera and everyone playing.
100/10 recommend Alexis for your family photos! She made it easy to simply be us, and she took care of the rest! The gallery of images took us on a rollercoaster of emotions! We laughed, I cried, and now the hardest part… picking which photos to print!”

“I found Alexis on Instagram after searching every hashtag I could and scrolling through online portfolios. After dozens of inquiries and discovery calls, my husband and I sat down with Alexis for our call and just started yapping away with an instant matched energy connection. We were about to end the call before we even talked about the photos (LOL)! She is professional, approachable, relatable, and most of all adaptable to make sure that your day is so special and captured. Looking at our gallery, she even captured details I didn't notice at first glance. All this to say, that you could not ask for a better person to handle the task of your day! Thank you Alexis for everything!!”
