Moab Cliffside Elopement | Bekah + Charlie
Bekah + Charlie’s Moab elopement was the perfect mix of adventure and intimacy. Before their ceremony, we explored one of Moab’s stunning red rock locations for a couples session—laughing, exploring, and soaking in the desert views.
As sunset approached, we went to a hidden cliffside spot overlooking the canyons for their private ceremony. With just cake, champagne, and each other, they exchanged heartfelt vows as the sky turned golden. The desert glow made every moment feel magical and cinematic.
This secret Moab elopement was everything they wanted—romantic, private, and unforgettable. For couples dreaming of an adventurous wedding day, Moab’s cliffs and canyons are the perfect backdrop.
How to Elope in Moab
Moab is one of the best places in Utah for couples who want a wedding day full of adventure, epic views, and privacy. Here are a few quick tips if you’re planning a Moab elopement:
- Best time of year: Spring and fall offer the best weather—warm days, cooler evenings, and dreamy golden light.
- Permits: If you want to get married inside Arches or Canyonlands National Parks, you’ll need a special use permit. Many nearby public lands outside the parks don’t require one.
- Locations: From hidden cliffside overlooks to red rock arches and desert trails, Moab has endless options for ceremonies and photos.
- What to bring: Good hiking shoes, lots of water, and a celebratory touch—like cake and champagne—make the day even more special.
- Hire knowledgable vendors: A photographer who knows the area can guide you to private spots and help create a stress-free timeline.
Eloping in Moab means choosing adventure, intimacy, and unforgettable views. Whether it’s just the two of you or a few loved ones, the desert is the perfect place to celebrate your love.
