Utah offers some of the most stunning and unique backdrops for any elopement! From the towering red rock formations of Arches National Park, the breathtaking views of Dead Horse Point State Park, and the many lesser-known amazing locations. There are endless options for a one-of-a-kind ceremony. As a Utah Elopement Photographer, I have dozens of locations for your Arches National Park elopement that will create a beyond compare experience for your big day!

Arches National Park Elopement Locations For Ceremonies
Imagine saying your vows as the sun rises over the vast desert landscape. Casting a warm glow over you and that moment. Arches is wonderful for just that! However, it can be filled with tourists depending on the season. Arches will give you just that! True, it can be crowded in some areas with other visitors. However, if you choose to have your ceremony at sunrise, we can arrive before everyone else to give you a quiet place to share your vows. Plus, getting into the park early will allow us to take advantage of the most beautiful soft lighting for photos.
When getting married in Arches National Park you will need a permit for your ceremony location and time. The park service has authorized the following specific locations for ceremonies and will issue a permit for a one-hour timeslot. This accounts for your ceremony and photos at that location. Beyond your ceremony, we are able to take photos at any location in the park before or after your ceremony without a permit.


Park Avenue
This location is easy to access with paved walking paths to the ceremony site. With a limit of 15 guests, it is a beautiful location for a mid-size elopement, right in the heart of the red rock canyons.


La Sal Mountains Viewpoint
Celebrate your elopement with 50 guests at La Sal Mountains! This location is fairly accessible, though you will encounter some pretty rocky surfaces. This location is unique in the way that you can see snow-capped mountains in the distance in early spring.
Imagine saying your vows as the sun rises over the vast desert landscape, casting a warm glow over you and that moment. Exchanging rings against the backdrop of a natural stone arch or dancing under the stars celebrating this milestone in your lives.
