I’m Tyler Rye your local Zion Elopement Photographer
I’m your Zion National Park Elopement Photographer based in Southern Utah. I have been documenting Elopements, Intimate Weddings and Adventure Sessions in Zion for over a decade. If you are looking for a photographer to take you into the Zion National park and create incredible images I’m your guy!
I live in Utah with my amazing wife and our three awesome kids, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the life we’ve built together. I grew up in Northern Arizona, where my love for the outdoors really took root. My childhood was full of camping trips, hiking adventures, and endless hours exploring the wild desert landscape with my family. Those early experiences gave me a deep appreciation for nature and adventure—something that’s stayed with me ever since.
As a photographer, that passion for the outdoors has shaped everything about the way I shoot. I’m drawn to wild, dramatic landscapes, and there's nowhere that inspires me more than Southern Utah. Zion National Park, in particular, is one of my absolute favorite places to photograph elopements and intimate weddings. The towering cliffs, slot canyons, and golden light—it’s a dream backdrop for capturing love stories. I never get tired of helping couples experience the magic of this place.
There’s something incredibly meaningful about combining adventure, raw beauty, and genuine connection in my work. Being able to take couples to unforgettable locations and document those moments in a way that feels true to them is an honor I don’t take lightly.
When you work with me for your Zion elopement, I’m here to make the entire experience unforgettable—from start to finish. I’m not just showing up with a camera; I’m here to help guide you through every step of the process. Whether it’s helping you choose the perfect ceremony spot, finding the best time of day for that dreamy golden light, or walking you through permits and park logistics, I’ve got your back. I know Zion like the back of my hand, and I use that knowledge to create a stress-free, adventure-filled day that’s all about you. Every couple has a unique story, and I love taking the time to learn yours so we can create an experience that feels personal, meaningful, and totally true to who you are. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just hiring someone to take pictures—you’re getting someone who’s fully invested in making your Zion elopement absolutely incredible.
