Dani Purington Photography

About

Dani Purington has been photographing elopements since 2016 from her base in Salt Lake City, with Moab and Utah's national parks as her most frequent backdrops and additional destination work in Yosemite, Hawaii, and abroad. The business is built entirely around elopements and intimate weddings, and the service list goes well past photography: she offers location suggestions, vendor and lodging recommendations, permit assistance, timeline building, wilderness guiding, and can serve as officiant — a combination that lets couples eloping from out of state lean on one local point of contact for most logistics. Her stated approach avoids stiff posing in favor of genuine, unscripted moments, with deliberate attention to natural light in desert terrain where midday sun can be unforgiving. Her work has appeared in major wedding publications over nearly a decade in the field. Pricing lives behind an inquiry rather than on the public site, so budget-conscious couples will need to reach out directly. For Moab specifically, her dedicated planning content walks through how to design a ceremony from scratch, reflecting how much of her business comes from couples who arrive with a landscape in mind but no plan.
