Unleashed Elopements Photography

Alright yall - let’s talk about elopement footwear! 🥾👡

I’ve seen too many couples in the past come unprepared with their footwear, so here are the tips to keep your dogs happy on your wedding day. There’s nothing worse than aching feet and it will ruin your experience.

1) Make sure when you are walking, hiking, or doing any outdoor activities/photos that you have sturdy shoes for traction. Conditions can be wet and slippery when we are outdoors!

2) Make sure you break in your shoes before your wedding day. Your feet need to adjust to the new shoes AND you can find different ones if you realize they aren’t the right fit. Trust me, I went through 4 pairs of trail runners before I found the right one for me.

3) If you want some other cute or fancy shoes for some of your photos, it’s a great idea to do this at your Airbnb or lodging location and then bring those hiking shoes for the rest of the day

4) If you are planning on being on the coast or playing in the water, sandals are a great idea! I love Chacos or Tevas. Some couples choose to go barefoot in the sand though!

5) Don’t forget if you are incorporating activities like climbing, biking, fishing, or tide pooling that you bring appropriate shoes

6) Lastly, EDUCATE your wedding guests with these same tips. Everyone being outside needs sturdy, comfy shoes (no, not dress shoes or high heels) to stay safe!

Choosing your footwear wisely, but also don’t forget to get something that is fun and exciting for your personality and style. After all, it is your wedding day!!

The way the colors of the SW desert changes from minute to minute always amazes me. Moab is such a beautiful place to elope and this state park is gorgeous at sunrise, late afternoon, sunset and even at night!

Dead Horse Point State Park sits about 30 minutes outside of Moab and is even considered a Dark Sky park, which means it is a protected area for exceptional star gazing 🌟

Although this area is quite small in comparison to other areas in Moab, it’s one of my favorite spots to take couple for portraits because there is so much variety of gorgeous desert views like these!

Getting to capture a friend’s special moment is the cherry on top of photography. These are the times that I feel very grateful for having it in my life 💕

When E reached out to me to propose to A, it was incredibly hard to keep it a secret and contain my excitement because A is my co-worker at the vet office.

Thank god my disguise by wearing a hat worked and it was a surprise I was there! 😅

As cheesy as it is, being able to preserve these memories will really last a lifetime. Cheers to these two for getting engaged!!
