  • “She has an incredible gift of capturing the sweetest of emotions during even the smallest of moments.”

    "We have known Elise for a few years now, and we felt honored that she would take our wedding photos. She has an incredible gift of capturing the sweetest of emotions during even the smallest of moments; the joy in our parents eyes, the atmosphere of all those watching, and the love in our hearts. She jumped right in and made herself part of the family and wedding party, photographing many of the hidden moments that were behind closed doors. She has an extraordinary vision for photography, using the environment to our advantage. The stillness of the lake, the deep greens of the pines, and even the smoke from wildfires sifting through the trees, Elise did a wonderful job of using our natural backdrop to highlight our experience, notably from her life of growing up in the wild of Colorado. We couldn’t be more pleased with the effort and quality of each photo!"

a day that makes your soul sing

YOU FOCUS ON MAKING THE MEMORIES AND I’LL DOCUMENT THEM FOR YOU.

Gone are the days where eloping means sneaking away to the courthouse to get married. The adventure elopements and intimate weddings I photograph are for couples who want an experience centered around the deep significance of marriage and the commitment they’re making to each other—while also embracing the beauty and adventure of the San Juan Mountains. Whether you choose to include a few close loved ones or keep it entirely private, the stress and formality of a traditional wedding are left behind. Every element of your elopement is thoughtfully curated to create a day that reflects who you are as a couple and celebrates your unique love story.

With stunning alpine lakes, waterfalls, wildflowers, and sweeping mountain views as your backdrop, we’ll design a day that’s all about what matters most to you—nothing more, nothing less. I’ll help you find the perfect location that makes your soul sing, and I’ll be there to document every moment along the way.
