The Elopement Experience 

Mattalynn MasonPhotography

What is an Adventure Elopement?

THE DAY IS TRULY YOURS!

An adventure elopement is an intimate, untraditional wedding ceremony that takes place in a UNIQUE or breathtaking location. The location is always personal to each couple- often on a mountain top, near red rock backdrops, in the desert, near some sand dunes, or next to a beautiful reflecting lake. 
Adventure elopements are for couples who choose to focus on the INTENTIONAL EXPERIENCE rather than
"oh this is what most people do."
You get to plan the day exactly how you envisioned it. 
The choice is YOURS.

  You can CHOOSE

  • WHO YOU WANT AT YOUR ELOPEMENT. Elope with just the two of you or invite a small group of family and friends
 
  • A LOCATION PERSONAL TO YOU. Travel somewhere meaningful to your relationship-like a first date hiking in a National Park.

  •  A NEW LOCATION TO START YOUR MARRIAGE. Begin marriage on a new adventurous path. Maybe you want to hike to an incredible viewpoint, or you want a beautiful backdrop without the hiking! 

  • GO ON AN ADVENTUROUS EXPERIENCE. Take a helicopter overlooking the Grand Canyon to share your vows.

What is the difference between an elopement, micro-wedding, intimate wedding etc?

Amongst photographers there are probably slight differences in their definition. 
I use these terms interchangeably throughout my socials and website.
For my services all of my elopement packages remain uniform; there are no additional charges for including those significant to you.
I understand the importance of a support system and how important relationships are.
However, when utilizing public spaces such as (National Parks state parks, certain venues) there are often regulations that follow.
To respect these rules and preserve and intentional experience I usually suggest a guest count of 30 or fewer individuals. 



However, with elopements that use public space (National Parks, State Parks, etc...), there are often restrictions from the governing office. Therefore, in order to follow the rules and preserve the intimate setting of this INTENTIONAL EXPERIENCE, We recommend to have guest size of 30 or less. We undersrtand that sometimes, you might want to have more than 30 guests. If that's the case, let us know and we can guide you on finding a venue that can accommodate all your loved ones.

Where Can We Elope?

I am a little biased but Southern Utah and Nevada have some of the most out-of-this world and breath taking locations to ELOPE.
The desert has the most peaceful stillness and incredible sunsets.

How do we book you?

If I had a dollar for every client that said this to me! Most people feel this way. I make the process very fun and chill. I give you lots of direction.The best thing about Elopements is I feel very in sync with my couples which helps me to know how to pose you. I will also get the very raw and candid moments of the two of you just being YOU. Most clients say things like “Wow I didn't realize we could look so adventurous, beautiful, in love etc.” TRUST IN ME!

We are kinda awkward, can you get good images of us?

Your photos will be delivered to you via an online gallery link. There you can download all of your favorites and send to friends and family. You will receive both high resolutions images and web size images. You will also be mailed a USB drive with you photos on them in the mail after gallery delivery.
