Montrose, CO + Moab, UT + destination wedding photographer & videographer

Hey! My name is Malachi Lewis & I love working with couples who have a sense of adventure. I am based out of Montrose, Colorado & Moab, Utah but tend to be very nomadic. Specializing in intimate weddings & elopements allows me to help couples have an amazing experience for their wedding day. Just because you are having a smaller wedding doesn’t mean you deserve less. You deserve even more! Intimate weddings & elopements allow you to focus on YOU.

Eloping in some popular national parks

Each different national park has their own set of regulations for elopements & adventurous weddings. This is what you need to know about eloping in national parks.

I look to create images that truly show your personalities as a couple. Whether that is romantic, fun, or crazy, or some combination of those, I want your photos to be all about you! I love to shoot beautiful, romantic photos at golden hour, but I also love being able shoot something more colorful, fun, or crazy! My style of photography focuses on documenting the story of the day & capturing the amazing surroundings where you get married.

My extensive international & domestic travel experience allows me to help couples plan an amazing adventure, even if neither of us has been to the location before! My favorite locations where I’ve been include Glacier National Park, Panama, Banff, & Guanajuato. Some of my bucket list list locations include Australia, New Zealand, Alaska, Ecuador, & just about anywhere in Africa.

#elopefortheplanet

Want another reason to elope? Not only are weddings expensive, they also produce a lot of waste. Each wedding usually produces at least 400 pounds of waste! When you elope, you don’t spend a bunch of money on things you’ll later throw away, you’ll invest in a true adventurous experience. And if you’re like me, you value experiences over things & want to elope because it just sounds like an amazing start to the new adventure of life that you are starting together.
