“it felt like talking to an old friend. He was organized, communicative, very thoughtful and creative. He basically planned our elopement with every detail. My husband is very introverted which made picking the RIGHT person to spend 18 hours with incredibly important!! .... Their passion shines in every picture, they captured our day more beautifully than we could have dreamed and we are thrilled we got to share it with such lovely professionals. You will LOVE reliving your day through their lens!”

Kyle
I'm the one you see the most. I'm your photographer, elopement guide, and personal hype man. I'm easily stoked with an endless energy I bring to your whole elopement day to keep the vibe high. I thrive when I get to be a big help, alleviate stress, and use my extensive knowledge to problem solve so you can have the very best day together.
Tori
I'm your in-house project manager, ensuring your elopement moves along smoothly from planning to final delivery of your photos. I'm detail oriented and mindful of all those little things that slip by when Kyle's hyper focus kicks in. I thrive when I get to build a check list and systematically complete it so you can relax knowing we've taken care of everything you didn't even know you needed.
We had our destination wedding in Zion and KYLE BLEW US AWAY. Kyle went above and beyond from day one to make us comfortable and have our experience be the best it could be … We were very uncomfortable with the idea of couples portraits but he made it fun and made us look amazing instead of awkward! He was an absolute pleasure to have with us on our wedding day and a big hit with our guests. Kyle sprinted around capturing every angle at once. HOW does one person move that fast?! The photos he took were SPECTACULAR and perfectly captured the mood of the day and every little moment we could have hoped for. You could not pick a better photographer for your wedding. PHOTOGRAPHY PERFECTION. Hire Kyle.

The Best Friend Experience
You’re going to spend a lot of time with your photographer on your elopement day, so that person should be someone you’re stoked to hang out with! Kyle’s basically a certified best friend
-
Kyle has that infectious Golden Retriever energy that makes it easy to move through your day with ease
-
Perfect even for couples who feel super awkward in photos. We’ll give you directions, watch how you naturally interact, then make little tweaks to help elevate the whole experience. You worry about loving on each other, we’ll take care of everything else!
-
If living up to some standard of artistic perfection feels intimidating, then you’re in the right place! Our style is people first and focuses on authentic moments rather than staged perfection.
He went above and beyond answering all my questions. We live in Missouri and planning an elopement in Utah, where neither of us had ever been, seemed stressful in the beginning. But Kyle went out of his way to help plan more than just the photography … He also kept in mind any requests we had mentioned on our questionnaire and did not skip over any of them. We received a ton of photos! And man did the pictures and video turn out incredible. A lot of Kyle’s reviews say by the end of the day you feel like friends and it truly did feel that way. 10/10 would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Elopement Day Guide
-
Kyle’s full of fun Zion facts from the history, plants, and rocks. You’re gonna be great at Zion trivia when we’re done
-
Changing tent? ✔️
Crotchet hook for your dress? ✔️
Extra boutonniere pins and tie clips? ✔️
More bobby pins? ✔️
Kyle always has his little bag of tricks to help keep things running smoothly. Plus he’s oddly experienced at just about every kind of dress, suit, veil, etc, so he can even help with your wardrobe.
-
Did the hike close because of Search and Rescue? Is there a rainstorm on the forecast? Is it unexceptedly busy this week? Not to worry, you have an on-the-fly problem solver informed by over a decade of experience at your side!
Kinda like a day-of coordinator, but way more fun. We’ll manage the logistics so you can be fully present in your elopement.
Kyle’s work speaks for itself. A review of his work would be obvious. What you don’t see in the pictures are all of the extra things. The little extra touches to make you feel comfortable and at ease. From start to finish Kyle was more than just a photographer. He gave us locations, examples, vendors, an itinerary, and even a list of gluten free restaurants in the area. He was really our one stop shop for all of our wedding day questions. The day of the wedding he had everything we didn’t think we would need. Like a coat, hand warmers, changing tent, etc. The list goes on and on. We walked away with some really incredible photos, but the care and effort that Kyle put in is really what stood out the most. He made our morning seamless and so smooth. We couldn’t have asked for better or thank him enough.

Amazing! Absolutely amazing. Kyle and Tori were wonderful, from head to toe they had it covered. The communication we had was very detailed and punctual, which eased our minds and helped us soak in the many moments of our special day. Kyle was on site with us as the photographer. He is detailed, observant, and caring. His work reflects his great attention to capturing one of the greatest moments of our lives. We love our images and know he was the keystone to our success on that special day! Book'em if you want the very best!

Local Support
Because planning an elopement at a distance is hard work. We're the ones in your corner who know all the things (or we can find the answers) so you feel ready to simply enjoy your day!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Kyle & Tori! … I will start off by saying they have been the MOST RESPONSIVE and HELPFUL AND FLEXIBLE vendors/partners we have EVER worked with! … They were pretty much the jack-of-all-trades in the elopement industry. Planning a wedding is stressful enough but doing it with them made it so seamless!!! … Tori was super professional and friendly, sending great reminders and information while also creating some helpful material for us to share with our guests. Kyle was just SO much fun to work with. We've never done professional photography of this caliber and he made it so easy and fun - we really could just be our silly selves and Kyle matched our energy. Huge thank you to them for being up at all hours to make our vision a reality. I cannot recommend them enough! It means so much to us and made a monumental moment in our lives that much more meaningful!

Now it’s time to chat about money.
If we could do this for free and somehow still pay our bills, we would in a heartbeat! Unfortunately, Juniper’s food doesn’t buy itself.

There are not enough complimentary words in the dictionary to describe the kind of work and effort Kyle and Tori were both able to deliver for our wedding … Gearing up for our ceremony, there was some not so wonderful weather in the forecast and my family was panicking on what we would do. Kyle knew! Kyle had plan A, plan B, and plan C ready to go! (luckily the weather held out for our ceremony). Everything was so organized and I am still astounded that they were able to get editing done so quickly. We were shocked and thrilled to have our memories back so soon! We honestly could not recommend them enough. By far the best vendor we booked for our wedding! You know when you meet people and you can just tell that they LOVE what they do? Yea, that's Kyle and Tori for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We get it, life is so expensive these days! We're not in this to get rich, we just want to pay our bills and have a damn good time along the way. So if this feels like the perfect fit but that starting rate is beyond what you can afford, reach out and we'll see what we can do to help!
-
No, in fact, we’ve worked all over the US and in a few international countries! We now focus our attention on Zion for that home turf advantage. We frequently visit the other Utah National Parks/public lands and Western Colorado. If you have a place in mind and you want to bring us along, reach out and let’s chat about it!
-
Elopements are our specialty, but we do all kinds of photography styles:
Weddings
Couple’s Portraits
Proposals
etc
Fill out our contact form and let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll get you more information!
-
We use the term “elopement” very broadly as any kind of non-traditional wedding experience focused on the couple’s priorities. An elopement with us is any style of wedding that leans on our expertise for location and logistics planning, regardless of number of participants. Our elopements often have guests! Intimate weddings and micro-weddings generally fall under this category for us!
-
No, we’re happy to work with any size of wedding! However, if you’re wanting to have a wedding on public land, we recommend keeping your guest count below 35. Very few public land options can accommodate groups larger than that. The smaller the group, the more options you’ll have available to you. If you have more people you want involved, we may start looking into venue and private land options with you.
-
If you are getting married at a venue and most of your events are happening at that venue, then our rates include a little more coverage at the same price since they require less planning on our part. Reach out and we’ll get you more information!
-
Generally, you can expect between 25-50 images for every hour we are photographing. However, this is just an estimate. We edit and deliver all of the best images, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on any moments.
-
Nope! We include a print release when you download your images so you can get them printed wherever you’d like!
-
We guarantee delivery within 8 weeks of your elopement date. We almost always deliver faster than that, but we want to make sure we have enough time to give you the very best images without cutting any corners to beat a deadline!
-
We guarantee you access to your photos via your online gallery for at least 6 months.
We highly recommend you download and back up your images in multiple locations (like hard drives and cloud storage) to safeguard against technology failures.
-
Yes! We have an awesome team of videographers who shoot with us. They deliver the footage to us and then we edit and deliver the videos. That way we can focus on taking care of you and producing beautiful photos and give you a gorgeous video that matches the style of your photos!
-
Generally speaking, none! We like to make our packages as all-inclusive as possible so you know exactly how much you are going to be spending! If we have to secure a location permit or there’s some form of specialty travel required, we may need to charge more to cover that. We’ll let you know if that is the case as far in advance as we can!
-
Not normally. If that’s what you want, we’re all in! Our all day and multi-day packages are more about giving you flexibility to have the experience you want without feeling rushed.
-
In order to book we need: 1) a signed contract and 2) a 25% retainer payment.
That secures your date with us and we get to start the planning process!
-
Our invoices remain open the whole time and you can make custom payments to it. So you can split the payments at an interval that makes the most sense for you, no need to have a rigid schedule on our end!
-
By default, your final payment is due two weeks prior to your elopement date. If you need more time, we can have some flexibility with you on that!
