Rosa & Tanner’s Superstition Mountains Elopement

Rosa and Tanner chose a secluded Superstition Mountains elopement for their romantic wedding ceremony. When they first contacted me, they were in the middle of planning a large wedding back home. The stress of planning a large wedding was beginning to overwhelm the joy of getting married. While they didn’t want to exclude their family and friends by calling off the celebration, they knew they needed a day that was focused exclusively on each other.

Tanner had already scheduled a trip full of van-life camping and exploration of Arizona. They saw this as a perfect opportunity to create an experience just for them. I helped them find a location and recommended Seventh Avenue Beauty for Rosa’s gorgeous hair and makeup, and we built out a day of adventure!

On their elopement day, we ventured deep back into the Superstition Mountains, where their only witnesses were the birds and desert wildlife. They helped each other change into their wedding attire, and found a spot that felt perfectly them to share their hand written vows. We watched birds gathering nesting materials as we hiked along a trail with lush vegetation. As the sun began to set, we made our way over to a trail that has some of the most spectacular views of the light painted across the jagged rocks of the Superstitions, creating red and purple hues towering up behind them. It was a perfect end to a magical day.
