Meet Halie

I’m Halie, your elopement photog + stoke master ✌️

In college I discovered the magic of adventure. Most weekends I set out in my little sedan to find somewhere new, to hike a trail, to camp under the stars, or go back to a spot I loved. What brought me the most joy was bringing my friends along with me and capturing them in the landscapes we explored.

As a huge dog lover, I thought I wanted to become a veterinarian. While struggling through O-chem I threw a double major in Photography on my plate and dove into capturing what was around me. Telling stories had me hooked.

I dreamt of working for National Geographic and was planning on moving into my Subaru after college in search of stories to tell. But that all shifted when I met my person.

Finding love made me want to capture it, but I also loved adventure and showing the bond we have with nature. When I found adventure elopements I knew that they were what I wanted to peruse. It was the perfect way to marry both my passions.

Now I get to carry out that dream of living on the road (this time in my van!) and telling stories: your love story!

I aim to help folks like you find beautiful places to vow their love and celebrate their story.

Together with my rad team, I’ll be there with ya to plan and prepare for your wedding day. I’ll find you the greatest spots from Utah to Alaska so that you can have that adventure you deserve. Just bring your love and your visions. We’ll make the rest happen!

Hear It From My Couples:

“We had a wonderful experience working with Ms. Halie West. Halie is a great photographer. Communication with Halie was fluid and timely. She is professional, yet incredibly down to earth. Halie captured our vision perfectly and produced a beautiful, high-quality gallery for us. Thank you Halie!“

“She went above and beyond as a photographer. She was with us every step of the way to ensure a seamless and easy elopement. I felt like we had our very own wedding planner and photographer all in one! She is such a genuine and kind person and you can tell that she is truly passionate about what she does. Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined. The photos were a great mix of intimate, creative, beautiful, and uniquely goofy, as catered to our personalities. She has a very calming personality and we both felt very comfortable in front of the camera with her. The whole morning felt very natural and it was so much fun! I would 100% recommend Halie as a photographer for not only her beautiful photos but also the wonderful experience she provides!”

“We hired Halie for our Bryce Canyon elopement and had a fantastic experience. If you’re reading this, maybe you’re in the same boat and want to make the right decision for your elopement. Halie was great in all 3 facets of our experience:

• Before the Wedding. Halie was extremely organized and accessible. Anytime we had questions or sent her emails, she was available for us and responded to us promptly. She was extremely organized and helped us create a precise timeline for our wedding day that made the process so much easier. We had a nice detailed outline for logistics that we could adhere to. That took the pressure off on our special day.

• The actual wedding: Halie was super easy to work with. She was pleasant, patient, with a happy/easy going demeanor. She took lots of shots and was very accommodating as well to our family and friends. She had great ideas for unique shots in the canyon and made the process fun. She was not rushed nor stressed. That made it pleasant for everyone.

• After the wedding: We received over 200 quality shots (to an online gallery as promised) that were stunning! We absolutely love our wedding day photos and are so happy that we were able to find someone so competent and yet so easy to work with. Also, the feedback from family and friends who see our photos has been tremendous as they love the photos.

For all of the reasons above, we highly recommend Halie for your Elopement destination. Whether high on the hills or down in the canyons, Halie will make the journey with you, make it enjoyable and deliver stunning photos afterwards.
