There's magic in eloping. Magic that you thought was only found in fairytales and epic fantasy novels.
magic. wild. free.
Because when you elope in the wild, you’re stepping into a moment that feels bigger than the both of you, like crossing into another realm.
The mountains tower over you, the wind rushes past, and suddenly, the world feels massive and full of wonder. It’s one of those holy-sh*t-we’re-alive kind of moments.
You're wanderers. Explorers. Legends-in-the-making.
It’s the kind of adventure that levels you up for life.
You don’t need any guests.
You don’t need a plan yet, either.
You need
wild
“Isn't that what the honeymoon is for?” “We don't know anywhere wild.” “Is it even special if it’s just us?”
“Isn't that what the honeymoon is for?”
“We don't know anywhere wild.”
“Is it even special if it’s just us?”
Nope. Wrong. Toss those myths off a cliff (preferably a very scenic one).
Because it's home to truly wild landscapes.
Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park and countless BLM locations that feel truly wild and hidden from tourists. No matter where you elope in Moab, there's something for every kind of adventure: off-roading, rock-climbing, hiking, picnics in the desert, and exploring countless red rock landscapes.
so why elope in moab?
Choosing to celebrate by exploring wild landscapes instead of managing a guest list? Totally powerful, and freeing as hell.
So, if you want to spend your Moab elopement day saying "I can't believe we get to DO this?!" then yeah, you found your people. (One of our couples literally screamed this while off-roading.)
Listen: you don't need anyone's permission to elope just the two of you.
But figuring out where to elope in Moab?
How to start the adventure of a lifetime?
Yeah, that part can feel like trying to pick a favorite snack at a gas station at 2am - overwhelming, kinda chaotic, and weirdly high-stakes.
You don’t have to do it alone.
You just need the right Moab Elopement Photographers by your side
We’ve got the snacks, zero shame about being total goofballs, and years of experience planning elopements in wild, untamed places - from Moab's secret spots to volcanic islands halfway across the world.
Every epic quest needs a guide - yep! We’re your Merry & Pippin duo, here to roast each other, and absolutely stop to admire every weird rock along the trail. So, while this quest may seem daunting, we’ve got your back.
We’re the type of team who gets genuinely excited about your Moab elopement ideas, your stories of adventure, your random questions at 11pm - all of it. That support doesn’t just make planning easier, we can say with certainty it makes the whole thing more fun.
Two guides, one quest: Blake keeps every detail on track (permits, back-up plans, and the kind of organization that would impress a wizard's guild), and Lauren's the quest-designer who finds hidden locations and transforms planning into an actual adventure.
With two sets of eyes on all the logistics, you know nothing is getting missed, especially when you elope in Moab.
Our couples say it best: “It was like having two friends by our side the whole day.”
We're lauren & Blake

Watch the sunrise over the Mesas
hike in arches
go kayaking or canoeing
backpack into the wild

the planning starts
Aka the most exciting part. With our expert guidance, your Moab elopement dreams become reality!
"Lauren & Blake made our elopement a dream come true!! It was truly more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. When we decided to elope, we didn’t know where to start. We weren’t even sure what we wanted our day to look like. We just hoped we could do quickly (in about a month and a half) and were worried such a short timeline may not even be possible.
Then we met Lauren and Blake!! They reassured us they’d make it happen, helped us imagine our perfect day, found hikes that would work with the unpredictable weather, helped with lodging, all the logistics and overall, just helped us create the most perfect day and stay. There was no stress, no worry, just pure joy and excitement. Our elopement went perfectly and having Lauren and Blake there was like having two friends tag along. It couldn’t have been any better.
Then we got to relive the beautiful day when we received our gallery. Everyone who we shared it with said that the pictures made them feel like they were there and really told the story of the whole day. That was exactly what we were hoping for, since we eloped alone. They captured the most beautiful details and such intimate moments. Months later and I still look at them every day! We cannot say enough amazing things about Lauren and Blake. :) "

Brooke & Felix
"We had an incredible experience working with Lauren and Blake for our elopement in Crested Butte. From the start, their planning process was thoughtful, detailed, and honest. We had a few locations in mind, but their expertise helped us confidently choose Emerald Lake.
Leading up to the day, we were concerned about accessibility and weather, but they gave us great recommendations—like renting a Jeep or SUV, bringing comfortable shoes, and packing aesthetic umbrellas—so we felt completely prepared. On the day of our wedding, they made us feel at ease, helping us relax and enjoy the moment while capturing our natural personalities and smiles.
Their creativity was evident in their composition, use of depth of field, in-camera effects like prisms, and even props. While they are undoubtedly talented photographers, what sets them apart is their holistic approach. They don’t just take beautiful photos—they guide you through the entire process, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish."

"Showing up for our big day had a whirlwind of nerves, but being photographed by Lauren and Blake was such a relieving point. When we took our elopement photos with them, they both had us really enjoy being in the biggest moment of our lives, while also laughing with them and becoming friends, which is not something I knew we were signing up for, but was a HUGE bonus!!!
They're seriously so special and I really genuinely don’t say that lightly. Our pictures came out better than perfect and we both feel that they really captured our relationship in the most special way possible. Booking with them is the smartest decision anyone can make. They are truly talented, wonderful people."
