If you're anything like me, you have fallen in love with Zion National Park and all it has to offer!
Zion offers so many diverse landscapes from the red cliffs to the green forests, there are so many epic and iconic spots that are the perfect backdrop to your elopement.
I have lived in Zion my whole life and have spent years exploring and finding unique and hidden spots that are both quite and stunning for weddings. Having a local by your side to help plan your dream day is key! I assist all my couples in planning, timelines, locations and offer photo and video!
our priority:
We document the real stuff—the laughter, the tears, the inside jokes—as they happen. Your love isn't scripted, it's special and unique- so why should your wedding day be any different? We're here to help bring your vision to life and capture all the grand and intimate moments of your day
Hi there! I’m an adventurer at heart, with a passion for storytelling. You can usually find me with my couples, hiking cliffside in Zion National Park, chasing sunsets in Moab, or exploring other wild destinations around the Southwest.
My husband Michael & I are a photo video team! We're a couple, just like you, so we know how to work together, making your day go off without a hitch!
We LOVE working with couples who are looking to ditch traditional and want an epic, earthy and grand adventure.
Your wedding is more than a day- it's milestone, a celebration & a moment in time. You're looking for a photographer and videographer who captures all the grand and the in between- full of color and joy!

Sammie is a joy to work with, email/DM her - don't wait! She is thoughtful, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, is professional and responsive, and gave us access to so many photos. She is such a sweet and fun person to have in your corner while capturing moments - she goes above and beyond in every way. Even though she's local and knows the area like the back of her hand, she was scoping out the space before our photoshoot to check the lighting and air - considering there were wildfires in the area. .
Sammie is so adventurous and always down to roll with the punches! She helped us figure out our permits, which was a blessing, and helped create our whole timeline! Her work is breathtaking and you can truly tell she has a passion for what she does! I loved my experience and definitely recommend!!
Planning an elopement can be stressful, especially when you aren't from the area. From the minute you reach out, consider me on your team! I can't wait to hear more about your unique vision for your day and helping it come to life!
