As a Moab elopement photographer, I specialize in capturing intimate weddings in the red desert in Utah for couples who want something truly adventurous. I'm a local photographer who's been documenting weddings here since 2018, so I know all the best locations around Utah and know all the different weather and landscapes here.

Moab Elopement Photographer
I bring deep location knowledge, drone photography, and Milky Way star images to create timeless, awe-inspiring wedding photos in one of the most surreal landscapes in the world.
I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings and helped many couples plan their elopement from start to finish. I'll guide you through the logistics of this remote desert landscape. From timeline, activity, and vendor recommendations - I'll be with you every step of the way.
I offer so much more than basic photos: drone imagery, Milky Way photos, film, and instant prints. I’m here to help you experience your wedding day fully — and remember it beautifully.

“I have nothing but. great things to say about Kaci. The photos are beyond phenomenal!”
She helped us plan our day from out of state, making sure we had nothing to worry about when our wedding day finally came. The photos are beyond phenomenal and she was super quick to get all of them back to us. She is so kind and goes out of her way to make your day spectacular.

Best time to Get Married in Moab
Fall/Winter/Spring
Anytime but summer is the best time to get married in Moab, especially the shoulder months before or after summer March -May and September-November. Temperatures are perfect and it isn't too crowded.
Summer
June, July, August have extreme heat and can be an unsafe time to get married there between dehydration and heat exhaustion you have to be careful. I've seen a wedding guest pass out during a July wedding. Avoid the summer in Moab.
It would be an honor to work with you! I help most of my couples plan their incredible Moab wedding from out of state. Many are visiting for the first time.
If you want an unforgettable setting for your ceremony, Moab is it!
It will give you the adventure elopement you're dreaming of. I'd love to help you make it a reality and have beautiful photos to remember it all with!
