Why Work With Photographers Who Specialize in Elopements in Colorado

Elopements are not just small weddings; they’re deeply personal experiences designed around adventure, intimacy, and authenticity. As a Colorado-based photographer, I focus on helping couples feel comfortable, confident, and free to be themselves in wild, natural settings — because that’s where the magic happens.

Every session is tailored to the couple — from location scouting and timeline planning to travel logistics and film coverage. Whether you’re eloping in Colorado Springs, Breckenridge, or Telluride, the goal is always the same: to tell your story in a way that feels real, effortless, and timeless.

Garden of the Gods – A Perfect Setting for Adventure

For Jon and Deborah, Garden of the Gods offered the perfect combination of epic scenery and easy access. The towering sandstone formations, wide-open views of Pikes Peak, and soft evening light created an unforgettable atmosphere for their celebration.

As we wandered through the trails, their joy and chemistry were undeniable. Between laughter and quiet moments, every frame reflected their connection — playful yet deeply rooted. And adding a personal touch, Deborah carried her Cotopaxi backpack throughout the day, a colorful reminder of her adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors.
