Melanie and Raelyn picked Moab, Utah for their engagement photos! Between the other-worldly rock formations, incredibly vibrant sunsets, and diversity of landscapes, there’s just nothing like the desert in Moab.

Raelyn and Melanie love the landscape too, and wanted to explore a couple different locations for their engagement photos! We started the day in Canyonlands National Park where we saw one of the famous arches in the area. Then we ended the evening in a different spot to watch the sunset over a sweeping view of the canyon.

When asked what the most important thing for their photos, they answered:

“We would like to capture candid photos expressing our love for each other.”

Their love was truly evident, and it was so much fun to hang out with them for a day!

Moab Utah Photographer

I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boulder, Colorado, but it’s no secret that Moab is one of my favorite places in the world, both for work and personal adventures. Where Moab used to be a far away destination when I lived on the East Coast, I’m thrilled that I live close enough to Moab to visit regularly now. If this blog inspired you to do engagement photos in Moab, or even to get married in the area, I’d love to chat with you! Check out this guide to engagement photos in Moab and then fill out my contact form so we can start planning your photography experience!
