MEET YOUR COLORADO ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
I moved to Colorado at twenty to finish my degree and met my husband two months after arriving. Seven years in the Roaring Fork Valley later, we got married in Carbondale on our eighth anniversary with eighty of our favorite people watching, our dog Finn's paw print on the marriage license, and mountains in every direction.
We were not eloping. But we were fiercely intentional about every single choice we made for that day. Who was there. Where we stood. What actually mattered. That intentionality is something I have always connected with deeply.
I have also always had enormous respect for couples who look at everyone's expectations and just decide not to care. The ones who book a one way flight to Colorado, find an alpine meadow, and get married with nobody watching but their photographer and maybe their dog. There is something about that kind of courage that genuinely moves me.
Then a close friend asked me to photograph her elopement on top of Aspen Mountain. No timeline. No seating chart drama. No vendor parade. Just two people, a mountain, and one of the most joyful days I have ever been part of. I drove home that night thinking I need to do this forever.
That was it. That was the moment.
Now my husband and I are heading back to Colorado, back to the valley where we met and got married, and I get to spend my days helping couples create elopement days that are as intentional, as personal, and as genuinely fun as that day on Aspen Mountain felt.
If you are the kind of couple who cares more about meaning than spectacle, more about the right people than the right number of people, and more about standing somewhere that actually takes your breath away than impressing anyone who is not even going to be there, I think we are going to get along really well.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I am what I would call semi-adventurous, emphasis on the semi. I love hiking but I am not peering over any cliff edges. I ski blues and greens and leave the black diamonds to my husband. I have stood in the Utah desert at sunrise and on the edge of Iceland's volcanic coastline and felt completely alive, but I have never once needed to summit a 14er to feel that way.
That perspective shapes everything about how I work with couples. I genuinely believe some of the most stunning places in Colorado are completely accessible without extreme adventure. You should not have to earn your wedding backdrop with a brutal hike. The right location is breathtaking AND reachable, and finding that combination for each couple is honestly one of my favorite parts of this job.
I care about real moments over perfect ones. Genuine connection over posed perfection. Standing somewhere that actually means something over checking a box on a vendor list. That is true in my own life and it shows up in every single elopement I photograph.
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOUR KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHER, LET'S MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER.
The mountains are waiting. All that is left is picking your spot and saying yes to the day you actually want.
