Kaitlin and Adam’s Horseshoe Bend desert wedding photos were breath taking! If you are looking for an epic view of the beautiful red rocks, Page, Arizona is the perfect destination elopement for you!

Kaitlin’s + Adams Wedding in the Desert

Kaitlin and Adam knew when they were planning their elopement they wanted to do a destination. Since both their families were scattered all over the United States, all family members had to travel in anyways. Kaitlin grew up in the Phoenix area and Adam grew up on the East Coast. For their elopement location, they both wanted to make a new memory in a location they both haven’t visited before; Horseshoe Bend. They didn’t want all the fluff that goes into weddings, they wanted to celebrate what truly matters to each other; committing their lives to one another!
