Guiding unforgettable elopements and weddings in the Rockies
"WOW! This is incredible!"
…Jaclyn said as we were cresting this peak overlooking Rocky Mountain National Park. We just looked at each other and smiled.
“Yes, it is,” we replied…
“Totally incredible!”
This is us. Two photographers at every wedding and elopement…
… with Over 25 years of combined experience and 400+ celebrations photographed.
No guessing, no assistants, no “associates”, no photos missed.
Yes, we live in Estes Park and spend our spare time doing cool things in Rocky Mountain National Park.
This isn’t just where we work. It’s home.
If you’re looking for rigid, impersonal photography—or someone who treats your wedding day like just another job—we may not be the right fit, and that’s okay.
your wedding day should feel incredible!
