Great Chamber Engagement Session | Kanab Utah
“I’ve been following Tyler’s work for years—ever since my days as a wedding planner nearly a decade ago. I always knew that when the time came, I wanted Tyler to be my photographer. Fast forward to now—I’m engaged, and before I knew it, we were flying to Zion. And wow—what an experience. Hiking through a slot canyon in a wedding dress, feeling like I was in a movie, completely immersed in the moment. It was everything I dreamed of and more.And the photos? Forget about any other photographer—you will not get this kind of artistry, adventure, and sheer magic anywhere else. When I show people our engagement photos, I know they aren’t expecting what they’re about to see—something straight out of Dune.Tyler is beyond talented, and he’s so cool and fun to work with. I cannot wait to get married with Tyler there to capture it all. If you’re looking for more than just photos—if you want an experience—Tyler is your guy. Hands down, best decision ever. I cannot wait to plan future photos with him.” Lauren
As an elopement photographer, discovering hidden gems and epic landscapes for adventurous couples is part of what makes my job so exciting. One of the most unforgettable adventures I've experienced recently is reaching the breathtaking Great Chamber near Kanab, Utah. This secluded sandstone alcove is a dream location for couples seeking an intimate and uniquely beautiful elopement experience.
The trip to Great Chamber is part of its charm. Located in the remote desert landscapes surrounding Kanab, reaching it involves navigating sandy, off-road trails, best tackled with a high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle. This adventurous route sets the tone perfectly for couples who embrace the excitement of an off-the-beaten-path elopement. As a photographer, the thrill of this journey enhances the storytelling aspect of documenting the entire elopement experience.
Upon arrival, the grandeur of Great Chamber never disappoints. The massive, naturally carved sandstone alcove frames stunning panoramic views of the Utah desert, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop for vows and photographs. The rich textures and warm colors of the sandstone beautifully complement elopement attire, adding depth and elegance to every image.
Photographing couples in Great Chamber is an extraordinary experience. The solitude and quiet beauty of this remote location allow couples to share genuine, heartfelt moments, capturing the true essence of an adventurous elopement. Each image becomes a timeless reminder of the journey taken together, not just physically but emotionally.
If you're considering a Kanab elopement and crave adventure, intimacy, and unmatched scenery, Great Chamber might just be your perfect destination. As your elopement photographer, I’m excited to document every thrilling moment of your journey to this incredible Utah treasure.
