Your ceremony takes twenty minutes.

What about the rest of the day?

That's the part almost no one pictures ahead of time — because most couples have never eloped, and most have never even seen one. Here's what it could look like:

Vows with no one watching but the two of you

A champagne toast on the edge of a mesa

Dinner by a campfire as the sun goes down

A milky way hike under an arch

We build the whole day together around what you want it to feel like, and I handle every logistic — permits, timing, weather, the route in — so you're never managing anything. You just get to be there for it.

Hey, I'm Keith.

For eight plus years I've shot outdoor campaigns for Lululemon, Mercedes, and On Running — 200+ shoots, real people in real places all over the world. Brands hire me for that work because a commercial set has no second chances: the shot happens or it doesn't. Your wedding day is the same. It happens once, in real time, no reshoot — and that's exactly the pressure I've spent eight years learning to deliver under.

But the photos are only half of it. On your day I'm also the person making sure it runs — the route in, the permits, the timing, the backup plan if the weather turns. I'm your best man, your bridesmaid, and the only person with a visual record of the day, and I don't take any of those jobs lightly.

My wife and I eloped in Zion. It's still one of our favorite days, and it's the whole reason I do this. I plan your day like it matters that much — because to you, it does.

Only 2 elopements per month.

That's on purpose. More time, more attention & more focus for each couple.

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 get to the next couple. You get me start to finish — the planning calls, the day itself. More polishing time to make your experience a 10/10.

Every Package Includes:


The Coverage → 8+ hours of photography, drone photography, and The Vow Recording: one uncut 4K video of your ceremony, clean audio, pro color-grading, 24-hour edited sneak peeks. Video and drone are both in every package — not add-ons. Most elopement photographers don't offer video at all.


The Planning → national, state, and special-use park permits handled for you, marriage-license guidance, pro location scouting, full day-of timeline design, and my vetted vendor network.


The Safety Net → a backup weather plan built in from the start. If the forecast turns, we move the date or location at no extra cost. Bad weather never decides your day.


The Delivery → select sneak peeks in 24 hours, full gallery in 4 weeks, travel included, and unlimited communication by call, text, and email.


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

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 experience might be 2 days.

That gap is where the real magic lives — the day is built around your personalities and can be as unique as you want it to be - 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.

8+ years of Experience 

200+ Outdoor Shoots All Over The World

The best photos come from
couples who stopped worrying about the photos.

I specialize in truly intimate weddings—10 guests or fewer. With a small circle, the day stays focused on what matters: you. It's an intentional choice that lets me give you my full attention rather than managing logistics for a crowd. This also gives us space to make better art and make your experience more what you want.

“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 in capturing moments that matter.— Shannon

How It Works

Surprisingly Simple. 4 Steps

Most couples tell me they expected this to be complicated. It isn’t.

1 - Fill out the form below

Vague ideas are completely fine. You don't need a plan — that's the whole point of hiring me. I’ll get your inquiry and text you to say hi.

2 - Schedule a discovery call

We get to know each other and see if we’re a fit. I give you guidance on what your day can look like.

3 - Your Date is locked in

If you want to move forward, a retainer + contract secures it. Then we focus on making your day extraordinary.

4 - We plan your day together

Location, permits, golden-hour timing, backup weather plans — I handle every logistical piece. I set up multiple calls with you throughout the process and am always available to text with you.

Authenticity 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.

Zero Logistics Stress - Permits, timeline, weather backup — all handled. National parks require Special Use Permits. Most photographers don't know how to navigate them. I handle it all in advance. Your job is just to show up.

Payment Options - I partner with flexible financing partners Affirm.

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