Thinking about ditching the big wedding for something a little more wild?
Utah might just be the perfect place to say “I do.”
From towering red rock canyons to salt flats that look like another planet, Utah offers some of the most jaw-dropping scenery in the U.S. Whether you’re dreaming of a quiet ceremony in Zion National Park, a golden hour session in Moab, or a salt flat adventure that looks like something out of a dream—this state has it all.
But let’s be real—planning an elopement, even a small one, can still feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
I’m Haley Sizemore, an elopement photographer who helps couples craft intentional, intimate days that feel just like them. I’m not just here to take pretty photos—I help with location scouting, permits, travel logistics, timeline planning, and everything in between.
So let’s dive into what it really takes to elope in Utah—and how I make the process smooth and fun from the first message to the final gallery.
Top Places to Elope in Utah
- Zion National Park – Iconic cliffs, stunning hikes, and a wild west backdrop for your vows.
- Moab (Arches + Canyonlands) – Perfect for adventurous couples wanting to explore before or after the ceremony.
- Bonneville Salt Flats – Minimalist, surreal, and magical at sunset.
- Dead Horse Point – Think Grand Canyon vibes without the crowds.
- Big Cottonwood Canyon – Perfect if you want alpine scenery closer to Salt Lake City.
Not sure which fits your vibe? I help every couple choose the best fit based on the look, feel, accessibility, and privacy they’re dreaming of.
What You’ll Need to Legally Elope in Utah
- A Utah marriage license (no waiting period, good for 30 days!)
- An officiant (I can help you find one—or even legally sign as your officiant in some cases)
- A location permit if you’re marrying in a national or state park
No need to stress—I’ll walk you through every step so nothing gets missed.
Why Couples Choose to Elope in Utah
- Breathtaking scenery without needing a passport
- A sense of peace and freedom—no timelines to chase or 200 guests to entertain
- Adventure—from hiking and stargazing to Jeep tours and exploring together
