Meet your COlorado Elopement Photographer
Hey! I’m Jen Dz!
I’ve been helping couples plan and document unforgettable mountain elopements and intimate weddings throughout the Rockies and Western U.S. since long before it was a trend.
I know Colorado inside and out and specialize in helping you find the right elopement location, secure permits, build a realistic timeline, and navigate weather, logistics, and family dynamics so your day actually feels relaxed.
I’m equal parts logistics nerd and hype woman: I’ll obsess over maps, sunrise times, and backup trail options and be the one cheering when you two lose it reading your vows on a ridgeline.
Dog-obsessed? Same. Traveling in from out of state for your Colorado elopement? I’ve got you. LGBTQ+ and want a safe, affirming space? You’re wildly welcome here.

Beyond Colorado …
Western U.S. Elopements
Colorado is home and always will be. But some love stories belong in red rock canyons or mossy, foggy forests.
Alongside my Colorado elopements, I photograph a limited number of Western U.S. elopements each year in a few places I know well: Moab, the North Cascades, and Olympic National Park.
If you’re dreaming of saying your vows under sandstone arches, in front of jagged peaks, or beneath towering coastal evergreens, I’ll bring the same Colorado-tested planning brain and storytelling to your day—just with a different backdrop.
Handpicked elopement locations in the western U.s.
I’ve traveled the Wild West and photographed elopements all over the country. Along the way I crafted a short list of some of my favorite places to help couples elope – places that I know come with big views, epic vibes, and a whole lot of magic.
how it works
