ABOUT US | BOOK | LEARN MORE

DID YOU KNOW…

AN ELOPEMENT IS NO LONGER THE RESULT OF HIDING YOUR LOVE, IT IS AN EXPRESSION OF IT. IT IS REALLY THAT SIMPLE. WHAT USED TO BE A SHAMEFUL EXPERIENCE HAS BECOME A LOVELY, INTIMATE OCCASION. ALSO, IN COLORADO YOU CAN SAY YOUR VOWS TO EACH OTHER WITHOUT AN OFFICIANT OR WITNESSES, SO IT’S THAT MUCH EASIER!

IMAGINE THIS IF YOU WILL…

HIKING TO A BEAUTIFUL OVERLOOK, BEACH, OR MEADOW OF YOUR CHOOSING, READING YOUR VOWS, EXCHANGING RINGS, SHARING A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE, AND THEN RELAXING FOR A WHILE. (SOUNDS LOVELY, DOESN’T IT?)

A FEW QUESTIONS TO ASK EACH OTHER:

• HOW MUCH STRESS COULD YOU LEAVE BEHIND IF IT WERE JUST THE TWO OF YOU?
• HOW MUCH COULD YOU SAVE TO SPEND ON A HONEYMOON? 
• WOULDN’T IT BE PERFECT TO HAVE AN INTIMATE, BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY WITH JUST THE TWO OF YOU?
• YOUR WEDDING DAY IS ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU, RIGHT? (RIGHT?) WHY NOT MAKE IT ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU THEN? THIS BRINGS US TO OUR NEXT POINT:

LET US HELP YOU PLAN YOUR COLORADO ELOPEMENT!

AS A COLORADO ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER TEAM, WE ARE EXPERIENCED GUIDES AND PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO KNOW HOW TO DESIGN A BEAUTIFUL ELOPEMENT PACKAGE THAT IS AUTHORED AND TAILORED EXACTLY FOR YOU TWO. WE HAVE BEEN PRESENT WITH OVER 300 COUPLES FOR THEIR DAY AND EVERY ONE OF OUR COUPLES HAVE SAID IT WAS THE BEST DECISION THEY’VE MADE.

TRUE STORY:

NATASCHA AND JOSUÉ WERE MARRIED IN JULY OF 2018 (ONE OF OUR MOST BEAUTIFUL, EPIC ADVENTURE SHOOTS EVER) AND WE HAD TO DRIVE FOR OVER AN HOUR OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE, ALL THE WAY TO THE GRAND LAKE ENTRANCE TO RMNP, TO ESCAPE A MASSIVE DOWNPOUR. WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF OUR VAN WITHOUT GETTING SOAKED, WE WALKED INTO THE FOREST FOR A SMALL SESSION IN THE GLISTENING LIGHT. THAT SMALL BLOCK OF TIME ALONE MADE US ALL REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE, AND THE PHOTOS REFLECT A BEAUTIFUL, TIMELESS MOMENT SHARED BY US FOUR. AFTER, WE DROVE BACK UP INTO THE ALPINE TO SEE IF WE COULD SOMEHOW SALVAGE OUR ORIGINAL PLAN TO GET SOME MASSIVE OVERLOOK PHOTOS. AS WE PULLED UP WE COULD TELL IT WOULD WORK OUT AND WE STARTED TO WALK TO ONE OF OUR FAVORITE LOCATIONS. ARRIVING AT THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF, UNDER HIS BREATH AND PROBABLY NOT AWARE THAT I COULD HEAR, JOSUÉ UTTERED FIVE VERY POIGNANT WORDS:

“THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT”

THE WAY HE SAID IT WAS PERFECT FOR THE MOMENT AND TO HEAR IT FROM SUCH A GENTLE GIANT MADE ME PAUSE. KARI AND I LOVE TO BE PRESENT FOR SUCH BEAUTIFUL TIMES AND WE LIVE FOR SHOWING PEOPLE THE EXTRAORDINARY.

THE ROCKIES ARE JUST THAT, EXTRAORDINARY, AND IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN HERE WE CAN’T WAIT TO SHOW YOU.

WHAT WE OFFER:

• TWO LEAD PHOTOGRAPHERS TO CAPTURE EACH OF YOUR EXPRESSIONS
• 3-5 HOURS OF COVERAGE
• FANTASTIC VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS 
• FULL RESOLUTION DIGITAL FILES WITH PRINTING RIGHTS
• ONLINE GALLERY TO SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
• PERSONALIZED GUIDE TO YOUR DAY

WE HAVE BEEN LIVING FULL TIME IN ESTES PARK FOR OVER SIX YEARS NOW AND HAVE WORKED WITH MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED COUPLES WORLDWIDE. WE MAKE IT A POINT WHEN FIRST VISITING WITH A COUPLE TO MAKE THEM AWARE THAT, FROM ESTES PARK, WE CAN BE UP IN THE ALPINE OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK WITHIN A 30-40 MINUTE DRIVE FROM TOWN AND THOSE PICTURES ARE ALWAYS WORTH THE EXTRA TIME. THIS ALSO GIVES US A CHANCE TO GIVE YOU TWO A BIT OF TIME TO UNWIND, RELAX, AND JUST ENJOY THE FRESH AIR, SUNLIGHT, AND MOST OF ALL THE VIEWS. WE HAVE ALSO PHOTOGRAPHED ADVENTUROUS SESSIONS IN ALASKA, ICELAND, BELIZE, AND MEXICO. OUR LOVE FOR THE OUTDOORS HAS CREATED AN IMMEDIATE CONNECTION WITH OTHERS WHO LOVE TO BE IN AMAZING LOCATIONS TOGETHER.
