I am so excited to be writing this blog post! Marisa and Brooke’s stunning intimate elopement photos in Zion National Park were truly soul-filling, especially after a long few months of wedding cancellation after wedding cancellation because of Covid. Marisa emailed me just ONE day before they came to Zion to see if I was available to photograph them on their wedding day! A true elopement haha. Luckily it was the only day that whole week that I was free and I was so grateful to get to work with them. They both live in Los Angeles and after having to cancel their wedding plans and stress about when to reschedule a big celebration, they decide to take off and elope in Las Vegas! They road tripped from LA along with their dog, Norm, and met up with me at Lazalu in Zion for some gorgeous sunset photos to commemorate the day. The sunset at Lazulu was incredible and truly nothing beats this golden field with these views.
I think Marisa and Brooke are wonderful examples of how at the root of all it, your wedding is about the two of you and you can make it look however you want. It was amazing to witness their love and joy and excitement as they soaked it all in. It was a good reminder to me that for all the things I love about shooting weddings, the people, the gatherings, the hugs, tears, sweat, and chaos, the calm quiet moments of love between two people, and the story it tells when all of that stuff is striped away, is really at the heart of it.
Lodging and Location: Lazalu Zion
