Utah Elopement Photographer

Only 2 elopements/month

Collection of various brand logos including lululemon, Mercedes-Benz, Logitech, NOMATIC, On, outdoor retailer, outside van, storyteller overland, saucony, discrete circuit series, trail runner, Warner Vans, YOGASIX, INEOS Grenadier, Backpacker.

Trusted by Lululemon, Mercedes, and On Running because there are no second chances — the shot happens or it doesn't.

Your wedding day works the same way. It happens once, in real time, no reshoot. Eight years of getting it right the first time under that kind of pressure is exactly what your day needs.

Only 2 elopements per month.

That's on purpose. It means I'm not editing someone else's gallery while I'm planning yours, not double-booked the same weekend, not rushing you to the next couple. You get me start to finish — the planning calls, the day itself, the edit. More polishing time to make your experience a 10/10.

Your elopement isn't just a ceremony.
It's an experience we design.

"But what would we actually do all day?"

Most couples have never eloped before and never seen an elopement — so this question makes complete sense. Here's the truth: your ceremony might take 20 minutes. Your day could be twelve hours.

That gap is where the real magic lives — sunrise hikes through silent red rock, a private champagne toast on a mesa edge, a long slow dinner with wine at a campfire. I help you build the whole thing, start to finish.

Prices starting at $3,800

"I'm your best man, your bridesmaid, and the only visual recorder of your day. I don't take that lightly — and I'll do everything in my power to make it as incredible as it deserves to be." - Keith

"Keith made us feel completely comfortable, even though taking photos is totally out of my comfort zone. He nailed the vibe — non-traditional but still totally us." - Morgen

Hey, I'm Keith.

I’ve spent 8 years shooting campaigns for Lululemon, Mercedes, and On Running200+ shoots, real people in real environments all over the world, no second chances. Those experiences taught me a lot and I bring that experience to your big day to make it amazing for you.

My wife and I eloped in Zion. It's one of our favorite days and a big reason I do this(that’s us below!).

I specialize in truly intimate weddings—25 guests or fewer. With a small circle, the day stays focused on what matters: you, the people closest to you, and a celebration that feels personal instead of produced. It's a deliberate limit that lets me give you my full attention rather than managing logistics for a crowd.

Everything That’s Included:

Every package includes photography, drone photography, and The Vow Recording — the video and drone work are never add-ons. Most elopement photographers don't offer video at all.

  • Minimum 4 hours of coverage — because your day deserves more than a drive-by.

  • Drone photography — Unique aerial shots of your landscape and you two, included.

  • The Vow Recording — One uncut 4K video of your vows with clean audio and pro color-grading, delivered within a week.

  • 24-hour sneak previews — See your first images the very next day.

  • Full gallery in 4 weeks — Not 4 months. Your complete gallery, delivered fast.

  • Travel included — No surprise travel fees. Your location is covered.

  • Plan B weather scheduling — Backup plans built in from the start. No scrambling.

  • Permit + marriage license guidance — Location permits, marriage license requirements — handled.

  • Curated vendor network — Vetted officiants, hair & makeup artists, and florists.

  • Commercially trained location scouting. Not just a Google Maps pin.

  • Custom day-of timeline — Every hour planned so nothing feels rushed.

  • Guided planning calls from booking to wedding morning — I'm available throughout the entire process.

  • Adventure planning beyond the ceremony — Ideas and guidance for your full day, not just the photos.

  • Documentary or directed style — your call — Fly on the wall, or I step in. You decide the energy.

  • Engagement, honeymooner + Weekender sessions available — Before, after, or the full extra day.

  • Pay over time with Affirm — Choose a schedule that fits your budget. Plans range from biweekly to 36 months.

"We truly cannot say enough good things about Keith. From start to finish, he went so far above and beyond anything we could have imagined… Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's adventurous, and genuinely invested."

— Shannon

Real Over Perfection

You'll Forget the Camera Is There - Most couples forget I exist within 15 minutes.

Location Mastery - Moab at golden hour. Zion before the crowds. Salt Flats at sunset. 200+ outdoor shoots means I know what creates a great image, not just a location.

One Number. Nothing Hidden. - Travel, planning, permits — all included. No invoice surprises after the fact.

What it actually looks like to shoot with me
