Kelsea Callister
My name is Kelsea! I’ve lived in Southern Utah for about 10 years and I LOVE it here. I'm an avid off-roader with a huge love of the outdoors and Zion is such a great area to constantly explore! I've created a map of over 300 cool spots, trails, overlooks, caves, etc. in Southern Utah alone, just from my years of adventures here. I offroad, camp, and explore every chance I can get and I know this area like the back of my hand. 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. I’m a former basketball player for Utah Tech University and love fitness too!
I married my sweet husband, Matt Callister, March of 2020 and we adventure together as a couple! He sometimes joins us on the adventures, so if you like fishing, cars, and guns then you guys will get along just fine! He loves welding, manufacturing, and Pawn Stars, and is super chill to have around.
We’d love to meet you! Email me at kelsea@desertscapephotoandfilm.com and I’d love to talk to ya!

Hi, I’m JoAnn! Photography has been my passion for the past ten years now, and I truly believe it’s what I was called to do. I feel so lucky to be able to call Southern Utah home! One of my absolute favorite things is getting to witness couples traveling from all over the world come here to celebrate one of the biggest days of their lives! I’m continually inspired by seeing the beauty of this area for the first time again through the eyes of our couples.
Outside of photography, I also have a love of camping, offroading, playing guitar and
traveling. I value experiences over things. I freak out over every sunrise and sunset, I buy too many stickers from each new national park I visit, and I can quote the entirety of The Office. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me out exploring the desert with my husband & our little animal family. They have my whole heart!

Hi! My name is Matt Callister and I love being around people on the best day of their life! I’m very adventurous and I like to capture those moments to show other people in a way that people actually want to watch. I’m very non-traditional and I want to make it an experience that you ACTUALLY enjoy! I think wedding days should be about the couple and what they want to do and who they want there, not stressful and full of people you don’t even really want at your wedding.
I want to do the new, the crazy, the wild, and the things other videographers won’t do. I have been in the wedding industry for years and can help you get the epic wedding video you really want.
