In the heart of the breathtaking Garden of the Gods, surrounded by towering red rock formations and serene natural beauty, Makyla and Jordan began their journey of love and commitment. Their heartfelt elopement ceremony was filled with tears of joy, tender laughter, and pure magic. As their photographer and filmmaker, I had the privilege of capturing every moment — preserving a love story that will forever be etched in their hearts.

Outfit Changes and Storytelling

One of the unique parts of their day was their three outfit changes, each adding its own personality to the photos:

• Casual attire: relaxed and joyful, blending perfectly with the natural red rock setting.

• Semi-formal looks: elegant and stylish, creating variety in their portraits.

• Wedding dress & suit: timeless and emotional, reserved for their golden hour ceremony.

With every frame, I aimed to capture not just appearances but also the genuine love and raw emotion that radiated between them.
