What Makes Me Different as a Zion Wedding Photographer
Zion isn’t just where I work—it’s a place I call home. I’ve lived here on and off for seven years, exploring every trail and witnessing the park’s beauty in every season.

Whether it’s capturing golden-hour light or navigating the logistics of legal ceremony sites, I’m here to make your day seamless and unforgettable.
But I don’t just take photos—I create moments. My approach is collaborative, fun, and relaxed. Whether it’s your partner’s first look, a quiet laugh shared on a canyon rim, or an epic wide shot showcasing Zion’s grandeur, I’ll capture it all in a way that feels true to you.

Why Weddings Matter to Me
This one is big for me—Love is love, and I believe everyone deserves the freedom to express their love authentically. As someone who calls Zion home, I’m passionate about creating a space where all couples—queer, straight, nontraditional, and everyone along that beautiful spectrum—feel celebrated and seen.
Weddings in Zion strip away the noise and focus on what truly matters: your connection. There’s something magical about stepping away from convention and doing things your way. Whether you’re exchanging vows in hiking boots, laughing through unexpected rain, or crafting a ceremony that defies tradition, I’m here for it. Zion is a place where love thrives in all its forms, and it’s my privilege to capture those moments of joy, vulnerability, and adventure.
Zion Wedding FAQs (Answered by a Local Photographer)
Spring and fall are hands down the most popular times. The weather is milder, the colors are gorgeous, and you avoid the peak summer crowds. Winter is also stunning if you’re down for a quieter, moody vibe. I break down each season (and what to expect) in this guide to Zion.
Yep! Zion National Park requires a Special Use Permit for any wedding or elopement inside park boundaries. The process can seem intimidating, but I walk all my couples through it step-by-step so it’s easy. I’ve helped dozens of folks through this and know the ins and outs.
You’re not just getting a photographer — you’re getting someone who cares deeply about your experience. I help with timeline planning, location suggestions, permits, and all the in-between moments. I’ll document the honest, unscripted magic of your day, not just the posed stuff.
Absolutely. Whether you’re bringing a small group or it’s just the two of you, I’ll recommend ceremony locations based on what matters most to you — privacy, views, accessibility, or all of the above. I’ve spent years exploring Zion and know where the good light lives.
For sure. Zion has so much more to offer than just the classic overlooks. There are incredible spots just outside the main park entrance, in Kolob Terrace, or tucked-away corners that most visitors miss. I’m all about helping you find a place that feels like you.
