YOUR COLORADO ELOPEMENT SHOULD FEEL AS BIG AS THE MOUNTAINS BEHIND YOU

Picture this. You are standing at the edge of Maroon Lake, the burgundy peaks reflected in the water in front of you, reading your vows to the one person who matters most. No crowd watching. No timeline rushing you. Just the two of you and a landscape that makes everything feel significant.

Or maybe you are halfway up a mountain pass at golden hour, laughing because the wind keeps stealing your veil, and none of it matters because this is exactly what you wanted your wedding day to feel like.

This is what an accessible Colorado elopement actually looks like. Breathtaking without being extreme. Intentional without being stressful. Completely, entirely yours.

MEET YOUR COLORADO ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi! I’m Maggie!

I moved to Colorado at twenty to finish my degree and met my husband two months later. Seven years in those mountains, then a brief detour through Wisconsin, and now we are heading back where we belong.

I tell you that because it matters. Colorado is not a location I researched and decided to target. It is the place where my actual life started. I know what it feels like to stand in those mountains and realize you are exactly where you are supposed to be. That feeling is what I am chasing for every couple I photograph.

I specialize in accessible mountain elopements, which means I find the breathtaking spots you can actually reach without a ten mile hike or a technical climb. Maroon Bells at sunrise. A hidden alpine lake above Estes Park. A mountain pass so high the trees disappear and it is just you and the sky.

I am semi-adventurous by nature, emphasis on the semi, which means I genuinely get couples who want the beauty of Colorado without the extreme adventure to earn it. That is not a compromise. That is actually my favorite kind of elopement day.

All travel within Colorado is included in every package, so your only job is picking the place that makes your heart race a little when you think about standing there together.

I WORK WITH COUPLES WHO WANT A WEDDING DAY THAT FEELS LIKE THEM,

Not a production for everyone else.

You would rather have twenty people who truly matter than two hundred acquaintances filling seats. You want to exchange vows surrounded by something real, not inside a generic ballroom with a vendor timeline dictating every moment of your day.

You care about intentionality. Not impressing everyone.

You are drawn to outdoor settings but you are not interested in extreme adventure. You want accessible beauty. A ceremony at the edge of an alpine lake. A mountain meadow you can actually get to in your dress. A stunning overlook that takes your breath away without requiring a ten mile hike to earn it.

You want your day to feel relaxed and completely genuine, not like a performance you have been rehearsing for. And you want a photographer who feels less like a stranger with a camera and more like a trusted friend who happens to know every beautiful corner of Colorado.

Sound like you? Let's talk.

WHAT WORKING WITH ME ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE:

YOU'LL FEEL CONFIDENT, NOT CAMERA AWKWARD

Most couples tell me they are not good at being photographed. I get it completely. Posing feels stiff and unnatural and nothing about it feels like you. That is why I do not make you pose. Instead I guide you through natural movements and prompts that feel like you are just spending time together in one of the most beautiful places you have ever been. After a few minutes you will forget I am even there, and that is exactly when the magic happens. The result is photos where you look relaxed, joyful, and completely yourselves.
YOU'LL HAVE A PLAN WITHOUT FEELING OVERWHELMED

From the moment you book, you are not figuring this out alone. I help with everything from choosing your Colorado ceremony location and understanding permit requirements, to building a timeline that actually flows with the light and the landscape. You will not be Googling "what do we even do during an elopement" at midnight. By the time your wedding day arrives you will feel prepared and genuinely excited, not stressed.
YOU'LL ACTUALLY ENJOY YOUR WEDDING DAY

This is not just about getting photos. It is about spending a full day in a place that takes your breath away and actually being present for it. I bring a calm, fun, and grounding presence so you can soak in every moment rather than managing logistics. I will fix your hair when the mountain wind has other ideas, adjust your dress on the trail, crack jokes when nerves creep in, and make sure you feel completely taken care of from start to finish.
YOU'LL HAVE PHOTOS THAT FEEL LIKE YOU

Not stiff. Not overly posed. Not like every other mountain wedding gallery you have scrolled past. Your photos will reflect the real in between moments. The way you looked at each other mid vow when it finally hit you that this was actually happening. The belly laugh during portraits. The quiet moment you shared watching the sun drop behind the peaks. These are not just pretty pictures. They are proof that your day was everything you hoped it would be.

I WANT THIS!

What My Clients are Saying:

ALEXIS + JULIAN

“Maggie has photographed all my life milestones over the last two years. She is amazing at what she does and just makes it all feel natural. She is great at giving directions on what to wear, how to pose and is there every step of the way. I have recommended her to everyone I know and will continue to do that. Maggie and her photographs are amazing!!!”
ARICA + JORDAN

“I have worked with Maggie on two different occasions and I am SO grateful I found a forever photographer in her!! She is so lovely to work with and has gone above and beyond for us. Not only is her work absolutely beautiful, she is a beautiful person who will put your needs first as she captures whatever life moment you are living. She ended up staying later at our wedding to get some photos my husband and the other guys really wanted despite the long drive she had to get home that night. Anyone would be lucky to have her capture their big day! Thank you, Maggie!!”
