What a delight it was celebrating and capturing Angelica and Timmy’s boho sunrise Arches elopement in Moab, Utah in late September. We had the entire arch to ourselves as they had their first look with the lanterns in tow. Angelica came with the most beautiful boho floral crown, long veil, and a dress that she got on Amazon, believe it or not!! We got to explore the park a little before their beautiful ceremony at Double Arch, one of the locations that ceremonies are permitted in the park. After their beautiful vows, they exchanged their first kiss and celebrated with their closest family and friends. We took some more photos around the park before we went to the picnic area to have brunch and cake cutting. Are you looking to having a Boho Sunrise Arches Elopement like Angelica & Timmy’s?
