Contemporary and Elevated Desert Elopement in Utah

February 24, 2026 BY: Amy

“Anna and Tyler’s story began with Coors. Though we now call Seattle, Washington State, home, our paths first crossed while Anna was living in Arizona and Tyler in Colorado. From the start, we knew we wanted to elope in the Southwest, and Amangiri quickly became our dream destination. Its minimalist design, serene privacy, and breathtaking desert landscape felt like the perfect backdrop for our day. Of course, our three-year-old chocolate lab, Frankie, had to be there too. She’s our soul dog, and it meant everything to have her exploring the desert alongside us while we celebrated our love. On the morning of our elopement, we exchanged vows in private, just the two of us, with the desert mountains as our witness. We were lucky to have an incredible photographer, Laurken, capture not only our elopement but also our reception back in Seattle. In every way, our celebration reflected us—simple, intimate, and made complete by having Frankie at our side.”
