Colorado Elopement Photographer
planning and photographing adventure elopements and intimate weddings in Colorado and throughout the wild west
honest imagery celebrating wild love in wild places
HEy! I’m Jen!
Colorado-Based Elopement Photographer
here to be the co-creator of the best damn day of your life.
I’m a dog-loving, IPA-drinking, nature-obsessed, expert-level elopement photographer and the face behind the camera. I’m passionate about connecting with the natural world around us, and have always felt drawn to living life by my own rules. Now, I’m committed to helping crazy-in-love couples do the same. There’s no one-size-fits-all wedding experience, and I’m here to take down the idea that you need some big, stuffy wedding to make other people happy. If you’re looking to create an experience that feels intentional, bold, and truly exciting, I think we’re a perfect match.
AS SEEN IN:
Choose
joy
not stress
The day you get married shouldn’t be about pleasing or entertaining everyone else and when you choose to elope, it’s not. Eloping gives you the chance to focus on what this day is really all about – marrying your person. And the fact that you get to do it in the most unforgettable way imaginable? It’s the icing on the most delicious cake.
so much more than just
your Elopement photographer
Relationships, above all else, are at the core of what I do. I’m a lifelong and very proud introvert and getting to know people on a deeper level is what makes me tick. Getting to know you, making sure you feel confident in your elopement journey, and helping you explore the most beautiful places in the world is honestly my favorite part of what I do.
I know how hard it is to plan an elopement, often in a place you’ve never been before. You don’t want the stress of a big wedding and yet … you find yourself … stressed.
That’s why I’m here to help you every step of the way. I’m not the photographer who just shows up and shoots your elopement (do you really want a stranger to be the only guest on your elopement day?!).
I’m your new adventure buddy who is here to dream up perfect locations with you, cry happy tears as you say your vows, wrangle your dog, share my snacks, and above all else support you and cheer you on through this whole journey.
And at the end of the day, my cameras and I are here to be the eyes of everyone who loves you and couldn’t be there for your big day.
how it all works
I’ve been planning and photographing elopements in Colorado and throughout the Wild West since 2017 and over the years I’ve perfected the art of planning dream days.
This means you get:
Why my couples choose me as their elopement photographer
There are so many awesome photographers out there who take a lot of beautiful photos – so why do my couples choose me?
A Laid back, this-is-not-a-photoshoot-vibe
I place a huge emphasis on your day feeling like the most beautiful adventure, NOT a long photoshoot. You get to experience getting married in a beautiful place and get photos that tell that will remind you of that day – forever.
Dogs Always Welcome
I am a crazy dog lady to my core. Dogs are welcomed and encouraged around here (as long as you’re ok with getting a few too many photos of your dog!). You miss 100% of the dogs you don’t pet.
LGBTQ + BIPOC Inclusive
I photograph all humans, in all their beautiful diversity. I’m here to create a safe space for you to celebrate being who you are and love who and how you love.
We Leave No trace
I’m firmly committed to leaving these beautiful places better than we found them. Getting to work in these places is a privilege and they must be protected at all costs.
“My husband and I will NEVER forget the adventure we had on our elopement day!”

what I do:
Wherever you choose to elope, I’m here to help make it your best damn day ever and take the photos that help you make sure it’s never forgotten!

how i became an elopement photographer in Colorado
From the first time I set foot in Colorado, I was obsessed. The mountains, the food, the people, the atmosphere … all of it. We came to visit whenever we could
When my fiance (now husband) and I decided on a whim to move to Colorado back in 2007, I cried tears of joy seeing those mountains on the horizon and knowing that this time we were staying for good.
Helping my couples experience the beauty of Colorado (and lots of other gorgeous places around the country too) brings me more joy than I can possibly express. I love helping people have meaningful experiences in the places that have meant to much to me.
