The Outlovers

  • Woman Owned

Just so you know, wedding planning doesn't have to SUCK...

Hey friends!

We’re Chad and Vanessa, aka ‘The Outlovers’.

We’re a husband and wife elopement photography and planning team, adventuring with couples across Utah and western Colorado.

We are here to support ALL couples who find their deepest connection in the great outdoors. No matter what you look like, who you love, or where you come from... You are welcome here.

⛰️ Wanna hike up a Colorado mountain in the dark and share your vows as the sun rises over the peaks? We'll bring breakfast.

🏜️ Prefer a sunset-session Jeeping the dirt tracks of the Utah desert, staying out to watch the stars? We got beers and headlamps.

🚙 Does the idea of a chill road trip heading far off the beaten path get you excited? We're already plotting the route.

As a husband and wife team, we’ve got you covered! We’re not only your photographers: we’re your planning assistants, support team, unofficial tour guides, ceremony officiants and (optional) videographers.

We’re going to be by your side through the entire planning process: helping you choose a location, writing a day-of timeline for you, advising on what to wear and what to bring, helping you figure out permits etc.

We want the experience to be nothing but FUN for you both.

Is all this getting you a little more excited about wedding planning?? We sure hope so, and we’d love to join you on that journey.

    "The Outlovers aren't just photographers, they're miracle workers who turned our elopement into an absolutely perfect experience!

    Vanessa and Chad truly made the entire process feel effortless which allowed us to focus on enjoying the weekend rather than worrying about logistics.

    The most memorable thing to us, and what truly set them apart, is who they are as people. Their genuine enthusiasm and energy helped us stay relaxed and present throughout the entire weekend."

    "I can't say enough great things about Vanessa and Chad. From the very beginning of the process, they were warm, friendly, communicative and they made us feel completely at ease.

    With their direction, every photo felt natural and they somehow managed to make even the simplest moments feel magical.

    Vanessa went above and beyond by officiating our little ceremony. She has such a calming presence and she made the ceremony so personal and meaningful.

    Seriously, we couldn't have asked for a better duo to make our day unforgettable."

    "Chad and Vanessa deserve every 5 star review they have!

    They embraced every idea we threw at them and helped make our special day more than we could have imagined!

    We brought our 13 month old border collie with us and he LOVED The Outlovers quicker than I’ve seen him warm up to anyone!

    We felt as though we’ve known them forever and we are so thankful for them.

    If you are considering eloping, I can say with confidence Chad and Vanessa are without a doubt the way to go!

    They are two of the most real and genuine souls I’ve met. AND they captured every moment perfectly with their photography skills. My heart goes right back every time.

    I’d give 10 stars if I could!"
