How Much Does It Really Cost To Elope?

UTAH BASED INTIMATE WEDDING + ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
photographs that feel alive.
This is your life… your love… in art form
When your smile lines are more pronounced. When life has written more chapters. When you want to remember where it all started. You'll reach for these photographs.
Let's capture the kiss me again butterflies, the palpable energy between you two, and just how easy it feels for you to love one another.
Catching feelings
That’s me—Abbigayle. Here to catch your feelings and give them back to you in one of a kind photographs.
I wouldn’t blame ya if you were surprised that all of these poetic vibes come from a midwestern girl that wears a fanny pack, jams out to Mt. Joy, and uses finger guns unironically.
But hey, life is a heck of a lot more fun when you aren’t trying to fit yourself into a box. It makes room for experience, experimentation, and expression. And I’ll be damned if your photos don’t reflect that too.
“She has a way of really seeing people. Being genuine about capturing them. And honoring their uniqueness.”
TAKE IT ALL IN
How the tears roll down your lover’s cheeks and past their smile.
How your grandpa wraps a blanket around your grandma's shoulders.
How your joy and slight glances to each other speak a thousand words.
After the candles have all burnt down and your dress is unbuttoned and you’re overflowing with euphoria—you’ll settle into bed with the love of your life knowing that you made the most of every single moment.
And later on you’ll have photographs full of breath, movement, and love. Photographs that move you as much as the day itself.

LOVE LETTERS
Lake Powell
Glen Canyon National Rec Area
Grace and Ian love traveling to Lake Powell so much so that they even named their dog after a landmark in Lake Powell, Moka. Lake Powell, Utah has become a major part of Grace and Ian's relationship, ever since Ian began bringing Grace there back in 2020. So it only made sense to have their Utah engagement at Lake Powell!
Church of Dirt
Deer Valley, Utah
Now for those of you who don't know, the Church of Dirt is not like any other church I have been to. The Church of Dirt is a beautiful plot of land surrounded by mountains near Park City, Utah. What is unique about the Church of Dirt is how you reserve it for your wedding day. The Church of Dirt survives solely on the honor code. Crazy, right? To reserve your wedding date at the Church of Dirt, you simply leave a rock or slab of wood with your name and date on it at the main site.
Salt Flats
Bonneville, Utah
The salt flats were formed millions of years ago when a lake that covered the region evaporated, leaving behind a thick layer of salt. The salt flats have since become a popular destination for land speed racing, as the flat and smooth surface provides an ideal location for high-speed vehicles to test their limits. Folks come from all over the world to experience this otherwordly landscape!
Wasatch Mountain State Park
Midway, Utah
Proposals are one of those things that make me so excited and nervous all at once and I'm not even the one proposing! It can be such an exciting time and lowkey I absolutely love doing them. So when Joe reached out to me to capture his proposal to his lovely girlfriend, now fiancé Meg, I absolutely hopped on the opportunity.
Jordan Pines
Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah
For Roxane and Ben's engagement session, we headed to Jordan Pines Campground which is located in the Big Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake City, Utah. From the moment they inquired and we spoke for the first time, I knew that their love was special. Despite us freezing our butts off, we were able to have a winter wonderland engagement session for these two and I am completely obsessed with how these photos turned out.
Tibble Fork
American Fork Canyon
From the moment that we stepped foot at Tibble Fork Reservoir, all three of us were in awe. Mary and Matthew had offered to pick me up from my house to venture the hour long drive to Tibble Rock and I gladly accepted. We spent that hour getting to know each other, which I felt was a true bonding moment. This bonding moment allowed me to connect with Mary and Matthew on a deeper level, which made my job not only that much more fun much more creative and artistic as well.
