For adventurous and laid back couples that crave intention and not a performance
No rules, no pressure, just connection
Why an elopement or intimate wedding?
You don’t want a wedding day that feels rushed, performative, or dictated by expectations that aren’t yours.
You want to actually feel your day, not race through it.
You’re worried your wedding will feel more like a production than a moment.
A packed timeline. Constant direction. Barely a second alone together. You want a day that’s intentional and centered on your story, not a checklist of traditions you never asked for.
Traditional weddings don’t feel like you, but you’re not sure what the alternative looks like.
You love the idea of something intimate and untraditional, but you still want it to feel meaningful, beautiful, and thoughtfully planned, not like you’re just skipping the wedding altogether.
YOU WANT TO ELOPE SOMEWHERE THAT FEELS UNREAL.
The canyons, deserts, mountains, or coast is calling your name but you have no idea where to start or how to actually make it happen.
You want to explore. Breathe it in. Be present.
And trust that those real moments will be captured without you having to perform for the camera.

Hey hey, i'm meliyah!
Your future photographer
As an elopement & intimate wedding photographer, I offer more than just photos. I deliver a full experience rooted in trust and create a guided, intentional experience so you can be fully present. Helping couples elope all across the West. From canyons, coastlines, national parks, and anywhere your story may take us.
I’m so grateful that God gifted me with the ability to capture His incredible creation. It’s what draws me to the places we explore together and the stories I get to document along the way. Laughing, chasing adventure, savoring slow mornings, and getting lost in books are the things that make up most of my days. I live to document and tell stories, dive into new tales, and create my own journey.
Intentional, from start to finish.
Your day can be exactly as the two of you want it to be. Every part is designed around your story, your connection, and what actually matters to you so you can slow down, be present, and experience your elopement instead of rushing through it.
Untraditional in the best way.
Eloping is fun, stress-free, and deeply meaningful. Instead of a traditional wedding with a packed schedule and long guest list, your day is an intimate celebration with just the two of you or a few of your closest people. You get to focus on your love, meaningful moments, and personal details without outside pressure or expectations.
Guided without the overwhelm.
You don’t have to figure it out all on your own. From choosing a location that feels like you, to navigating permits, and timelines, I’ll guide you through the entire process. What once felt overwhelming becomes simple, intentional, and actually exciting.
Beautiful imagery that reflects your story.
I want you to truly live your day. Explore. Laugh. Breathe it all in. You’re free to be fully in the moment, knowing your experience and your story are being documented exactly as they happen.

“From the very beginning, Meliyah was the sweetest and made us feel very comfortable."
"My now husband and I had very little experience “modeling” or being in front of the camera but Meliyah did so well explaining different poses, and made us laugh while doing so. She did both our engagement photos and micro wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and ready for our big day, whether it be vision calls or going to the venue to pick out spots for pictures. We are SO amazed with her work..."
- The Hudnalls
“We would work with Meliyah again in a heartbeat!”
"Our experience working with Meliyah was perfect. She was caring, understanding and has a real eye to capture the magic of a wedding day. We would work with Meliyah again in a heart beat! She really captured the romanticism of marriage in Vegas! The photos came out exactly as we'd hoped and more.”
