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

I gotta say….there’s something especially invigorating about photographing weddings in Colorado.

The couples who elope here—couples like you—know what they're after. Y'all want snow capped mountains in July. You're not afraid of a little dirt on your dress or cheeks. And you want to be floored by the views as you say your vows.

You want to keep the mountain ridges and wildflowers with you after the sun sets.

And details that communicate…

 

- How nature, same as your relationship, refuels your soul. 

- Why you chose a family style table for the reception.  

- All the aesthetic and sentimental bits you weaved together.

- How you melted in your partner’s presence.

everything.

“Erika perfectly captured our relationship, individuality, and the unreal mountain top views. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and it felt like we were just out hiking with one of our old friends!”

 
 
 
 

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

Your photos will celebrate it all...

Can you see it?

A fully gassed-up Jeep is ready for your journey through the wild San Juans. You’re looking for ‘your spot’ – you find it nestled within a wildflower meadow. The only witnesses to those vows are the mountain peaks, your dogs, and you two. In town music is playing on a rooftop bar, where loved ones are eagerly waiting to hear about the adventure. And to toast the newlyweds. 

Sounds incredible, right?

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