Capturing Heartfelt Elopements Across the Moab Desert
Ready to elope in Moab, Utah? You’re not just looking for someone to take photos. You want a Moab elopement photographer and planner who helps you plan, document, and live your dream elopement.
I’m here to do exactly that. My approach is rooted in slowing down, observing the in-between, and documenting every moment in a way that feels undeniably you. The kind of images that make you say, “This is so us.”
Because your elopement deserves more than posed photos—it deserves to be felt.

From our first call to your final gallery, my heart’s in creating an experience that’s effortless, intentional, and filled with “this is so us” moments.
Foodie at Heart: My Favorite Must-Try Moab Restaurants
Antica Forma: Nestled on Main Street in downtown Moab, Antica Forma brings a slice of Italy to the desert with its wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza, handmade pasta, and fresh mozzarella crafted in-house.
Jailhouse Café: Known as “Moab’s Breakfast Place,” this cozy café serves up pancakes, omelets, and old-school charm in a historic 1800s building.
The Broken Oar: Rustic cabin feel with hearty comfort food — think BBQ ribs, burgers, and local brews. Perfect for refueling after a desert hike.

Perched high above the Colorado River, Dead Horse Point offers sweeping views of layered canyons and endless red rock stretching as far as you can see.

Canyonlands is where adventure truly meets intimacy. With dramatic cliffs, winding rivers, and views that make you feel like the only two people on earth,

Arches National Park is one of Moab’s most iconic elopement locations, with 2,000 arches, and is renowned for its stunning red rock formations and glowing sandstone arches.
Castle Valley
Just outside of downtown Moab, Castle Valley is a desert dream of open skies, red mesas, and the kind of peace that makes you slow down and breathe it all in.
"Rachel helped us enjoy every moment, even though we'd never had professional photos taken before."
We got our photos back today and I am in love with them! Rachel was very friendly and knew how to get us to laugh, smile, and just enjoy ourselves even though I had never had professional photos taken. She did amazing work and went above and beyond to make our pictures special and a day to remember. Rachel made everything so easy and brought so much knowledge. She understands that each couple is truly unique!
