Arizona Elopement Photographer

Eloping in Arizona opens you up to endless possibilities, from off-roading through backcountry, hiking to epic red rock views at sunset, wandering through slot canyons, or saying your vows amongst the silence of 100 year old saguaros.

No matter what you’re envisioning for your dream day, I’m here to help!

So you have decided to elope and celebrate just the two of you, in the Arizona desert!

Hi I’m Savannah, and I
REGRET
 my wedding day!

Hi I’m Savannah, and I                  my wedding day!


Yep that's right, I spent my wedding day standing in line for hours hugging every relative and family friend who came by.

My husband and I were pulled from our ceremony, to a studio photo shoot, to the luncheon, to help decorate the reception, to standing in a receiving line! I didn’t even get to try the food! It really was a lot for one day. I was exhausted, and the only quality time we had was during our first dance, in front of all our guests.

Trust me when I say, I don’t want that for you. My own experience is exactly why I became an elopement photographer, to help you plan a day that feels like YOU! A day that’s anxiety-free, fun, and actually about your relationship!

I’m here to take away the stress so you can focus on what really matters- each other.

MY HUSBAND AND I REALLY LOVED THE PHOTOS AND THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE SAVANNAH HAD TO OFFER. TO START, I APPRECIATED HOW SHE HAD ME COMPLETE A QUICK QUESTIONNAIRE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN THE PHOTOS. SHE CAPTURED A VARIETY OF SHOTS. WE LOVE OUR ALBUM AND PHOTOS. SAVANNAH HAS A GIFT AND DOES A GREAT JOB CAPTURING THIS SPECIAL TIME.

Savannah is amazing! So kind, attentive, and puts you at ease during your session. I highly recommend her!

  • CUSTOM ELOPEMENT PLANNING: Phone and Zoom calls to meet each other and make sure we make your dream a reality. I provide a detailed questionnaire for your preferences, favorite activities, etc. This helps me suggest activities, vendors, lodging, food, permits, license info, style guides, and other tips.

  • CUSTOM TIMELINE: I will help you to put together the MOST FUN day with perfect timing for each part, so you can soak up every minute without feeling rushed.

  • AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHY: I’ve been a professional photographer for over 14 years!! Don’t worry, I know how to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I will get posed shots and a lot of candid shots to tell the beautiful story of your day. But rest assured, it won’t feel like a day-long photoshoot. You and your special someone will have all the quiet personal moments you crave on a romantic day like this.

  • PHOTO DELIVERY:  I will create a custom online gallery for you with 200-500+ photos, it really depends on the scope of your day. Download link with high resolution for beautiful prints and albums.

  • PLAN B: Weather is usually great here in Arizona, but don't worry if it rains, I always have a back up plan!

  • PERMITS: Don't worry about this! I will handle all the permits we need for National Parks.

What you get with every elopement package:

SAVANNAH RECENTLY DID AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT FOR MY FIANCE AND I. WE'RE BOTH TERRIBLY AWKWARD PEOPLE, BUT SAVANNAH GUIDED US THROUGH SO MANY CUTE POSES WITH EASE, AND PAID ATTENTION TO ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS. HER EDITING MADE US BOTH LOOK LIKE ANGELS AND THE LIGHTING AND SCENERY IS JUST PERFECT! I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH. HER PROFESSIONALISM IS ALSO SO GREAT. SHE ANSWERS SO FAST TO MESSAGES, GIVES YOU OPTIONS, AND ASKS FOR YOUR INPUT.
--Hailey

Savannah is such a talented photographer and I am so happy with the photos she took. She gives easy direction on how and where to pose to get the best angle for each shot. She also picks the best places to have your photos taken. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends. She is AMAZING!!!
--Venessa

I LOVE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! SAVANNAH IS VERY PROFESSIONAL, BUT ALSO FUN ENOUGH TO GET GENUINE SMILES. NOT TO MENTION BEING THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHER TO GET A REAL, NATURAL SMILE FROM MY HUSBAND. I LOVE HOW MUCH SHE CARES. SAVANNAH HAS DEVELOPED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STYLE. I LOVE THE WAY SHE USES LIGHT TO CREATE SUCH BEAUTIFUL PICTURES THAT I’LL CHERISH FOREVER. SHE’S A LOVELY PERSON AND TALENTED ARTIST!
--Tiffany

SHE IS COMMUNICATIVE AND GIVES EXCELLENT DIRECTION TO ACHIEVE YOUR BEST SHOT, SHE IS EFFICIENT WITH YOUR TIME, AND HAS SUCH A PLEASANT PERSONAL MANNER ABOUT HER. THE END RESULT IS SO PLEASING. OUR PHOTOS ARE A BEAUTIFUL QUALITY AND WE LOVE LOOKING BACK ON THESE SPECIAL MOMENTS!
--Karina

This is amazing for couples who want the ultimate experience! This gives you more time to include a sunset adventure like off-roading or hot air balloon ride and star gazing, then a sunrise hike and ceremony/vow exchange. We will include multiple locations, getting ready at the BNB, special traditions, first dance, and great night time photos as well.

Coverage: up to 12 hours split between 2 days.




This is perfect for couples who want a stress free day together. This gives you plenty of time for an epic adventure (off-roading, helicopter ride, paddle boarding etc), getting ready images, vow exchange, a beautiful ceremony, first dance, a picnic, and even the stars after dark with the big desert sky!

Maybe all you know is you like the desert vibe.  Don't you worry about that!! I will send out a questionnaire, we will have a zoom call, and I spend time getting to know you and what you like. I will help you plan the most perfect day. 

I'm not sure what we want to do for our day yet?

Yes! If you choose a full day or multi day package, it is easy to include a few family members. The multi day is perfect for this. You can spend one day alone and the second day we can add family members to share in the ceremony or a celebration.

Can I include some family?

Because we are such a diverse state you can get married in Arizona 12 months of the year! Saguaro National park is PERFECT  for a winter or spring wedding when the desert is cool. Flagstaff and the White Mountains are great for summer, fall weddings. You can escape the heat and see beautiful forest colors.

What's the best time of year to Elope on Arizona?

Yes of course!! You are making a brand new family, I can help you celebrate that special moment.

Can I include my kids?

Hiking is not required! I know lots of drive up locations, and unique adventure activities. We will chat and discuss what is best for you and your day.

What if we don't want to hike?

In Arizona you do need an officiant. But don't worry, I'm ordained and can serve as your officiant!  Another option would be: to get a marriage license in your home town, and make it official real quick at the town hall before or after your elopement.

Do we need an officiant in Arizona?
