· how an elopement day works ·
An elopement is a wedding that has been edited down to its essentials, on purpose. Two people, a few witnesses or none, a place that means something. We shoot it as a four-hour day: a small getting-ready window, the ceremony itself, a long portrait walk, and a closing quiet hour we save for the light.
We've photographed elopements in Arches at sunrise, on the Wasatch ridgeline at golden hour, in a Salt Lake courthouse on a Tuesday morning. The unifying thread is restraint: we plan the timeline around what will photograph well in your light, and then we get out of the way while it happens.
