Shelby and Tim: Lake Powell Elopement

Shelby and Tim eloped at beautiful Lake Powell on the Utah/Arizona border in a an incredible and meaningful ceremony led by Anne of The Ceremonialist Co. She centered their ceremony around the winter solstice occurring that day, and it was, to put it simply, pure magic.

Shelby and Tim started their day early in the morning, getting ready in their airbnb overlooking the beach they would later be wed on. They had decided on a private first look at sunrise at Horseshoe Bend, and we made our way down the trail as the sun rose over the canyon. We spent some time enjoying the view, scrambling over the slick rock, and of course, popping champagne (it’s never to early for champagne on your wedding day)! Shelby and Tim were so sweet with each other, and it was the perfect start to the day

Shelby and Tim took a break to touch up hair and makeup and relax while their friends made everyone breakfast burritos and mimosas. Once everyone was ready, we caravanned down to the ceremony site at Lone Rock Beach. The ceremony was intimate and beautiful, and after everyone left to head back for dinner, we spent some more time to enjoy the scenery and landscape that bonded them together.

We headed back to the airbnb for barbecue and cake, enjoying the sun setting over the desert cliffs with their closest.

I hope you enjoy these scenes from their day!
