I’m a traveling wedding + elopement + couple photographer serving Arizona and Utah.

I grew my passion for elopements after my husband and I eloped at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park. We had originally planned for a traditional wedding with friends and family- we even put a deposit down on a venue, but as we started to plan, we realized a big wedding wasn’t for us. Every detail we needed to plan and every dime we had to invest was into a whole production for our guests. What will our guests eat? How will we entertain them? How will we make sure they aren’t bored? What decor should we pick? Should we have cake? Does anyone ever really eat the cake? All these little details we had to think about were not something we enjoyed at all. We’re the type of couple that values experiences over these tiny things and having to invest our savings into them just didn’t feel right to us.

So, we checked our travel bucket list (I totally recommend every couple make one of these for your relationship) and picked our number one spot- Lake Moraine. We planned the entire trip around what we both envisioned for our special day and it turned out to be even more than we had expected. I feel so incredibly passionate about providing this experience to other couples because I truly believe this is the best way to get married.

You deserve an entire day all about YOU and your partner doing whatever is uniquely YOU. I’m dedicated to changing the wedding game because traditional weddings aren’t for everyone-trust me, I know!

If you love to adventure and want to capture all the memories, I’m your girl!

Karen was fantastic! When she did our engagement photos, Ryan & I instantly knew she would be the only photographer we hire for all our big moments together. Then after we changed our big wedding plans to a smaller elopement she helped with every detail! Including helping us find a location that really fit our vision & took our breath away! She’s one of the easiest people to connect with & there’s no hesitation to open up and be yourselves while she captures the moments you never want to forget

We loved having Karen around to photograph us on our wedding day. From the beginning planning phases, she was proactive, responsive and was able to provide suggestions for the look and style we were looking for. What we loved most was that she goes above and beyond to make sure the actual day goes smoothly - from separately coordinating with our Officiant to make sure we were at the right place at the right time, to even helping with hair and make up! Not to mention she had a fantastic attitude the entire way through, even at the 3am meet time to catch the sunset!

We absolutely loved how our photos turned out - she really has a gift and is extremely talented and well organized. Karen was a huge part of what made our day so memorable. Thank you so much Karen!

I am so glad that I stumbled across Karen Castor Photography!! She was absolutely one of the best photographers I've ever had the chance to work with! I loved that she was willing to go the distance for me and my fiance! Karen was very creative and had an amazing eye for the best shots!! We got to learn a whole bunch of new cool poses that turned out so beautiful! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an elopement photographer!!!

We decided to have an impromptu elopement/micro wedding in Sedona and the only thing we really cared about was a great photographer! We found Karen and some of her work on an Arizona elopement group, I reached out to her immediately and within 24 hours we had our photographer booked. She was able to create a timeline for our day and she made sure that all of the shots we wanted we got. She made the day 100% about us, she captured the most intimate moments of us getting ready, the sweetest moments of our ceremony, she even had us have our first dance on the cliffs and the photos were stunning. I can hands down say she made our day perfect. My husband and I both expected a handful of framable photos and what we got blew our minds we want to display Every. Single. Photo.
Karen was so easy to work with and just blended in with our group seamlessly. If you’re in the market to elope I can not say enough good things about her and her work!

Capitol Reef Elopement

J + J hiked to this spot in Capitol Reef National Park in their wedding attire to say "I do" and dance underneath this epic arch. We adventured all around and then took a few detours along the trail to get some incredible landscape views of the sunset. This hike was only 1.7 miles out and back and hardly any elevation gain, so it was fairly easy to get to.
