Moab Intimate Adventure Elopement // Moab, UT
Hannah and Anthony have such a unique and beautiful story. I won’t share the details of it here, but when Hannah told me how their relationship started and about their first connections, I couldn’t help but tear up. They have such a deep connection and their paths crossed at a seemingly strange and dark time in life, but it is so obvious that it was always meant to be this way.
“Looking back now, I can see how our lives were perfectly orchestrated for one another. I can see the reasons for the bad, the hurts, the heartbreaks, the loss. It all had a purpose- to prepare us for each other. We are so thankful to have found each other, and cannot wait to start our life together!”
It was such an honor to be there on their wedding day for these two sweet and gentle spirits. They invited as much family that could make it for this cross country road trip to the desert, and it was such a treat to be able to see through a window into their lives and relationships with the people they love most. They rented a big airbnb in Moab and brought their side-by-sides with them to explore Moab the REAL way ;)
Believe it or not, their ceremony spot was actually just off the side of the road! While exploring for the perfect and most easily accessible ceremony location for them and their families, I found this secluded nook tucked behind some big rocks near a parking lot pull off! We carried their chairs and cute decor and set up in the dirt for the most beautiful red rock ceremony for them.
After the ceremony we took the side-by-side up to a secret location that took some serious GRIT to get to in our truck the day before hahaha. It made things significantly easier in their OHV! We all squished in nice and tight together and road up to the most breathtaking cliffs edge for sunset for potentially some of the most epic portraits I’ve ever taken.
