Adventure Elopements & Weddings
“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.”
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
true and authentic experiences you’ll remember forever
My name is kelsea!
My name is Kelsea! I’ve lived in Southern Utah for 8 years and I'm an avid offroader with a huge love of the outdoors! I've created a map of over 300 cool spots, trails, overlooks, caves, etc. in Southern Utah alone. I absolutely love showing people around and meeting new people which is exactly why I decided to start doing adventure photography. I would be so stoked to help you capture fun memories outside in the desert with the person/people you love.
your wedding day planned just for you
So many couples I’ve worked with have said they’ve actually began planning a traditional wedding, and decided after a lot of stress and expenses that an adventure elopement/wedding was right for them. All of them have been so happy that they decided to make their wedding day something they would cherish forever instead of trying to please others and stressing out about it. Adventure elopements/weddings are really cool because it’s a chance to explore this incredible Earth, with your lover and/or family. Imagine admiring a desert sunset on top of a mountain overlook, laughing, and eating smore’s with the people you love the most… I honestly can’t think of anything better. If you want to escape the stress and finances of traditional weddings, this is for you.
Adventure Elopements + Weddings
Any location in the world!
My life has centered around adventure long before I ever got into photography. I’m a seasoned explorer, off-roader, hiker, a finder of cool places haha! Even if I’ve never been to your state, I can find you the experience you’re looking for. I have traveled a lot and been to some extremely remote places. Finding new places is what I live for, so it’s not a problem at all if I travel to you. If you come to my state (Utah), I can take you on all kinds of excursions. I live not even an hour away from Zion National Park, 2 hours away from Bryce Canyon, 3 hours away from the Grand Canyon, 6 hours away from Moab, and 4 hours away from some of the best ski resorts in the nation by Salt Lake City.
Any experience you want!
I customize everything for the scenery and vibe you want. If you want pine trees and rivers I got a place, if you want joshua trees with a desert sunset I got a place for that too! If you want mesa overlooks, towering red rocks, or even hidden adobes I can make that happen! I’m down to do a long hike, a day at the lake, offroading, a campfire, or any other fun activities you want! At the end of the day I just want you to have a memorable, fun experience, and I’ll capture the experience so you can have the memories forever! That’s what I love to do and I’m happy to customize your adventure so you have the best time.

300+ Spots
I’ve created a map of over 300+ spots in Southern Utah, by Zion National Park. Plenty of locations to choose from if you decide to come to my hometown!
Don’t know what location you want? Here are some suggestions. (Zion National Park Elopement Only)
Kolob Canyon
Absolutely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. Towering red rocks, canyons, and creeks surround you. This is a super underrated part of Zion National Park.
Gooseberry Mesa
The view from the top of this mesa is unreal! You can see a panoramic view of Zion with Pine Mountain on the other side. The drive is beautiful and there are Mongolian Yurts at the top.
Grass Valley
Grass Valley is home to a huge reservoir that turns into an underground river. Located north of Pine Mountain you get beautiful mountain views and access to rivers and streams everywhere. There are old windmills and caves as well!
Mojave Desert Scenic Byway
Joshua trees are actually really sweet! The Mojave Desert Scenic Byway takes you through old highway 91 and out through Gunlock. The desert landscapes and views are some of my favorite. Desolate, remote land and a lot of hidden gems make this one of my favorites.
Oak Grove
Oak grove is a drastic change from the desert scenery that most of Southern Utah has. It has tall pine trees, lots of green, pinecones, and the trailhead to Signal Peak, which is the tallest peak in Washington County. It’s one of my absolute favorite spots to camp!
Smith Mesa
This mesa is everything! It has a panoramic view of Zion and Kolob, it takes your breath away! I’ve been slacklining up here, camped, and gone offroading! It has rolling green fields with lots of cattle which you would not expect going on top of a desert mesa!
Baker Reservoir
Baker is a quiet little reservoir north of Pine Mountain. It’s great for trout fishing and canoeing! The Holmstead Ranch is a little above it, and there are lots of animals, mini cabins, and camping spots! It’s a great lake to get away from the craziness of the more crowded beaches.
Modena
Modena is a ghost town about an hour north of St. George. The famous transcontinental railroad goes right through this tiny town where only about 20 people live now. Great western vibes are in this town and you can even see a huge abandoned hotel right in the middle of it!
Kolob Terrace
This is one of the best drives of all time. I love this place so much it’s where I decided to take my bridals. The views of Zion are about as good as it gets from the outside, and there are gigantic, towering cliffs of red rock all around you. There are also giant wheat fields and old cabins on a road that ends up taking you to the mountains!
