A Guide for Planning your Bryce Canyon Elopement!
Let’s Go on An Adventure!
Hi there! We’re Tana and Cory Metcalf - a husband and wife photo/video team, local to Utah! We love Bryce Canyon National Park and have created this guide for anyone hoping to elope there or nearby! We hope you enjoy!
Why Elope in Bryce Canyon National Park?
The weathering and erosion throughout Bryce Canyon, over centuries of ice and rain, create striking towers of rock and vibrant color unlike any other view in the world - known as Hoodoos. This makes for incredible imagery during your elopement, bridals, or first look! Like SERIOUSLY EPIC!
In addition to this, Bryce Canyon has variety in locations, all very close by. Like this forest view near the parking lot!
No drone footage is allowed in Bryce Canyon, but Red Canyon (about a 17 minute drive from Bryce) is a gorgeous alternative to capture epic drone scenes in your wedding video!
Bryce Canyon National Park also looks gorgeous in photos all year long- EVEN in the winter months!
