Imagine being invited to a wedding, but not knowing where it would be. That’s exactly what Aiste and Tyler did for their surprise intimate wedding in Moab. They invited their 14 closest friends and family to their wedding and didn’t tell any of them where it was. Simply just what to pack and what days to take off for work. On the travel day for the wedding trip, Aiste and Tyler sent their guests their boarding passes – booking all of their flights and accommodations for them. That was the day of the grand surprise where the guests found out where they were going: Moab, Utah.

Getting Ready Portraits

First touch at The Red Earth Venue

Aiste and Tyler opted to have their first look down the aisle during their wedding ceremony. Instead of doing a first look, they decided to exchange letters and having a first touch. They were able to share this intimate moment right before walking down the aisle. It was a great way for them to have time together while still preserving their first look for their ceremony.

Wedding Ceremony at The Red Earth Venue

The Red Earth Venue in Moab is an incredible location for a wedding. It’s outdoor space overlooks the desert and truly is the perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony.

The perfect way to celebrate the newlyweds is with their favorite thing: adventure. We rented UTV’s and went off-roading in the desert with the full crew and then rock climbing.
