Amber + Zahn’s DIY Wedding in Hanksville, Utah USA

Amber and Zahn are wedding photographers who decided to have a DIY wedding along their road trip through the USA. They found an amazing secret location in Hanksville, Utah, and planned their wedding day from start to finish.
The wedding was a beautiful and intimate affair, with only close friends and family in attendance. Amber and Zahn exchanged vows in a stunning outdoor setting, surrounded by breathtaking views of the desert landscape. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delicious dinner and dancing under the stars.
The wedding was a true labor of love, and it showed in every detail. Amber and Zahn put their hearts and souls into planning their special day, and it was clear that they were meant to be together.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your own DIY wedding, Amber and Zahn’s story is a great place to start. With a little planning and creativity, you can create a wedding that is truly unique and special.
From Amber.
We planned our wedding day long before anything was official!
By the time Zahn asked me to marry him, we had already invited our guests and some had booked plane tickets.
Despite knowing it was coming – I was still taken completely by surprise. After a stressful morning, Zahn suggested a walk at our local spot. There’s a small beach that is usually deserted and he suggested we check it out (not unusual for us). As we walked along he was looking at his phone. I said to him “you’re distracted – is everything ok?” He said, “yeah – can I read you something?” Even at this moment I expected that he was about to read me a tricky client email or something that he wanted advice on. Instead, he said, “these are the reasons I want to marry you”.
And I just cried and cried. He had a ring made by our wonderful friend Niquita (attending the wedding!) which I had no idea about. He bloody nailed it.
