Welcome to the wilder side of weddings
Let me guess, a big wedding day never felt quite right to you.
You don’t want your day to feel like a performative event put on for everyone else. You want to celebrate your love with your person in a way that prioritizes the things you love – beautiful places, each other, and maybe a dog or two.
You’re in the right place!
Kick off your boots, pour yourself a drink (I’ll have an IPA) and get ready for your best adventure yet.
meet your colorado elopement photographer
Hey! I’m Jen Dz!
I’m a stereotypical Coloradan in pretty much every way. When I’m not behind the camera or planning your adventure, you’ll find me out in nature, usually with my dogs in tow, mountain biking, fly fishing, hiking, or traveling around in the mountains and deserts of my home in my camper van.
As one of the OG elopement photographers, I’ve learned a thing or two over the years about planning laid-back, stunningly beautiful, dog-friendly elopements in the Wild West. And I bring ALL of that knowledge to every single couple I work with.
When I’m on your team for your elopement you’re getting more than just pretty pictures. You’re getting ten years of experience
What i bring to your colorado or moab elopement
deep local experience
I’ve photographed hundreds of elopements in Colorado and know how to deal with anything that cames up – from unpredictable weather to road closure to natural disasters. We’ll be prepared for anything.
Planning + photography in one
Location scouting, permits, timelines, vendor recs, and stunning elopement photos covered in one place so that your exlopement experience can feel both epic and effortless at the same time.
Supportive, zero-judgment energy
Cry, curse, wear hiking boots with your dress, bring your dog or your whole chosen family… it’s your day. I’m here to celebrate it all.

While I plan and photograph elopements all over Colorado, there are some places I love the most!

Beyond Colorado …
Moab Elopements
There’s an old saying that goes something like “You know it’s spring in Utah when all the license plates turn green” (the color of the Colorado plates). And, well, I’m thrilled to be part of this phenomemon.
Moab might be in Utah but it’s close to home and one of my absolute favorite places on the planet – and it’s a place I spend as much time as possible (which it turns out, is a lot of time)!
Moab is the absolute perfect spot for couples who want to elope somewhere wild in the spring and late fall, whcn Colorado weather is snowy and unpredictable and the best spots are hard to access.
I’m obsessed with these red rock deserts, deep canyons, and all the critters that call this place home.
I’m thrilled to offer elopements in my favorite place on Earth!
how it works
planning your elopement (without the overwhelm)
01.
Reach out and dream big
You tell me what you’re imagining—and what you’re absolutely not about. We’ll brainstorm together and come up with ideas that are a perfect fit for YOU.
02.
locations logistics and timelines
I help with locations, permits, timelines, and backup plans and recommend local, LGBTQ-friendly vendors (like hair and makeup) who “get” elopements and are here to help!
03.
Professionally edited, high-resolution images
You show up relaxed, ready, and fully present; I handle the logistics, document it all, and make sure you have the time and space to really soak it all in.
04.
Relive it forever
Your gallery tells the full story, not just a few posed portraits so that you can spend the rest of forever reliving it all!
“We will be talking about our wonderful experience with Jen forever! She made our adventure elopement wedding dreams come to life!”
