UTVs, Sandstone & Sand Dunes: C+J’s Zion Elopement with the Whole Crew
Some couples want to keep it intimate. Some want to bring the fam.
C + J wanted both—and hell yeah, they totally pulled it off.
Their goal was a day that felt adventurous and personal but still included the people who meant the most. So the whole crew flew out to Vegas and road-tripped to Zion.
Day One: Sand Dune Ceremony + Sunset Dance Party
C + J had one request: a ceremony spot that was private, jaw-droppingly epic, and accessible for the whole fam. So, with help from our friends at Roam East Zion, we loaded everyone up in UTVs and rallied to a windswept sand dune just in time for sunset.
They exchanged vows, wiped a few tears, and then shared a first dance in the sand while the sun dipped low behind the cliffs.
Day Two: Slot Canyons + Sunset in Zion
The next day, we hopped back in the UTVs and explored a local slot canyon—sandstone walls, silence, and a little adventurous history to kick off married life.
Zion National Park
That evening, we headed into Zion for sunset at one of my favorite spots.
The Road Trip Continues: Sedona Bound
After Zion, C + J Rented a Van and hit the road for a two-week honeymoon road trip🤘. First stop: Sedona. I met them down there and took them off-roading up a chunky-ass mountain ridge to my go-to sunset spot. (Totally worth the bumps.)
Why It Worked:
Because they kept it real. They included their people without sacrificing the parts of the day that mattered most to them: epic landscapes, freedom to roam, and making space for adventure.
