Adventures, views, and vows that will make your heart race.

But not because you’ve hiked 10 miles. You want a feeling of epic adventure and insane views without the hard work, cause really, who wants to sweat on their wedding day? I get it. Lucky for you Colorado offers just that. 

Believe it or not Colorado is where adventure and luxury can go hand in hand. Jagged peaks and fields of wildflowers accessed by a fun jeep ride or a casual walk near town offers the beauty you want with the option to savor a meal and party with your guests. 

Sounds like a dream, right?

“Erika somehow perfectly balances feeling like a close friend from the instant you meet her and being brilliantly professional at the same time.”

 
 
 
 

Having a small wedding doesn’t mean you’re getting less of an experience.

You’re simply making room for more.

More intentional details, less fluff.
More connections, less people. 
More treetops, less noise. 
More bliss, less obligation.

Less tradition…stress… everything that doesn’t feel like you, MORE JOY, MORE YOU. 

Your photos should feel like you.

Can you see it?

You’re family and pups standing next to an alpine lake nestled in the mountains, exchanging your vows. Your parents are your officiants and your dog signs your marriage license as witness. You share a delicious locally made cake before the two off you head off to wander through a wildflower filled meadow like you’ve never seen before. In the quaint downtown loved ones are eagerly waiting to hear about the adventure and share a delicious meal.

Sounds incredible, right?

Well this day wasn’t dreamed up by me. It was planned and lived wholeheartedly by Haley & Ross.

Best Places to Elope in Colorado

 

Crested Butte, CO

Crested Butte, while a lesser known spot compared to the more popular ski resorts, offers less crowds and a stunning display of wildflowers in the summer. It has a ridiculously cute downtown and doesn't require you to go far for incredible views and trails full of flowers. Crested Butte offers more of a romantic laid back vibe than epic adventure.

Ouray, CO

Ouray, known as the Switzerland of America for good reason, is located in the San Juan Mountains and offers access to 4x4 jeeping trails over 13,000 foot mountain passes. Around Ouray, you can find yourself in lush green meadows with wildflowers, high alpine lakes, or among red rock formations. If you want to avoid hiking but have access to insane views, come here for an unforgettable jeeping experience.

 
 
 

Celebrating an anniversary or engagement?

Or is it just time to get some updated photos of you two to celebrate your relationship in a beautiful place?

Adventure Sessions are 1-2 hour sessions to capture just that. You'll receive help with location options and a full online gallery.
