Deciding between a wedding and an elopement? Here’s a third (better) option.
“What if I can’t decide between a big wedding and an elopement?”
Let’s do both.
I’ve said it time and time again - do what you want for your wedding. If you want a huge, late night, all out celebration with all of your friends and family? Do it. If you want an intimate elopement in a stunning landscape? Do it.
But what if you want both?
Jared and Gisele were in a similar situation - they wanted to celebrate with their families, but they also wanted special time and images together in an amazing location. So, a few months after their wedding with family + friends, they flew out to Salt Lake City and took a day to have their dream captured - elopement style images at the Salt Flats and in golden leaves in the mountains. We started at sunrise at the Bonneville Salt Flats, and ended with a private first dance together in the mountains near Park City.
But, what if you could have both in the same weekend? A full wedding celebration with all of your important people AND an entire day to yourselves in a stunning, adventurous location?
I LOVE booking a full wedding weekend for this exact reason - you get full photography coverage for 2-3 days so that we can prioritize all the things that are important to you. Let’s document your stunningly planned wedding with the people closest to you AND let’s drive somewhere beautiful where you can have a private vow reading together. Multi-day coverage can include everything from a welcome dinner, full wedding day, additional elopement/adventure session, and anything else that’s important to you.
Utah is so perfect for couples who want both, and I’m the perfect fit for someone to document it all! I love blending documentary photography (for the little moments, the emotion, and so that you feel like you’re reliving your wedding day every time you look at it) and hands on directing (for the amazing portraits and details that you’ve so carefully chosen). Let’s craft a wedding weekend (or weekdays!) that’s fits everything you’re daydreaming about.
