Utah Elopement PHotographer

So you've decided to elope in Utah...

A traditional wedding isn't for you, so you're choosing to elope. You want something relaxed, authentic, and meaningful. A day surrounded by a handful of close loved ones. You want intimacy and to be in a space where you can breathe.

You want a bit of adventure. Maybe a relaxing hike to a stunning overlook. A swim in a lake. A catered picnic. A slow morning in an A-frame cabin. You feel drawn to celebrate in  ways that feel true to you. 


Then reality sinks in... 

Planning your elopement is tricky. Between permits, locations, and timelines, it's easy to get lost in the details. You know you want a day that's stress-free, but you're struggling to figure it out.

That's where I come in

I'm your Elopement guide, hype woman,
and designated third wheel

I don’t just photograph your elopement, I guide you through every step so that your day actually feels like you. I help your celebration become an experience, not a performance. 

You're ditching the big wedding because you know that a day that's supposed to be about the two of you tends to get swallowed by other people's opinions, a guest list that somehow tripled, and a timeline that leaves no room to actually breathe. You already know what you want. You just need someone who can help you pull it off.

On your elopement day, your only job is to show up and be completely present with each other. I've got the rest: the locations scouted, the permits sorted, a timeline built to give you room to breathe, and a genuine hype woman in your corner every step of the way.

love notes

"The way she captured these moments was like nothing I'd Ever seen before"

I've worked with tons of photographers over the years and Avery's demeanor was so soft and kind. She greeted us warmly and was intentional during our time together. Her planning help was AMAZING and the way she captured these moments was like nothing I'd ever seen before-so cinematic and full of movement. It was like watching a movie but in a photo. UGH so amazing, highly recommend her


-Trinity and Jeffrey

“Avery Jade was absolutely AMAZING to work with!” 



She is the absolute and ultimate hype woman! She has a creative eye that allowed for some fun, intimate photos between me and my husband. It was wonderful getting the pictures back and having amazing memories caught on film!

-Miranda and Alec

“Avery made something that's new and unnatural to us EASY!"


She did such an amazing job of helping us to feel comfortable and embrace our personal dynamic. The experience from start to finish was thoughtful, personalized, and memorable. We loved our cinematic styled shoot and ESPECIALLY the product.

-Robin and Peter

Do you require a retainer or deposit?

Yes! I require a 25% non-refundable deposit to officially book your date. It secures your spot on my calendar and lets us start planning together so we can create something that feels true to your story.

How do we book you?

The first step is to schedule a discovery call with me. This is where we get to chat about your story, your vision, and the kind of experience you want captured. After the call, if it feels like the right fit, you can secure your date with a signed contract and a 25% nonrefundable deposit.

It's about creating a day that tells your story.  I help with timelines, locations, permits, activities, and vision planning so you can relax and enjoy every moment. My role is to make sure your day flows naturally and beautifully , while capturing the moments that matter most.
