a day that makes your soul sing
curating an elopement day that focuses on the significant of marriage
COLORADO WEDDING AND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
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 the couples who want to have an experience that is centered around the significance of marriage and the commitment they’re making to each other, all while enjoying the adventure and beauty of the San Juan Mountains. That may or may not include a handful of guests, but the extra fuss and stress of a large, traditional wedding is left behind and each element of your wedding day is carefully chosen to create the day of your dreams.
With the most beautiful alpine lakes, waterfalls, wildflowers and sweeping mountain views to choose from as your witnesses, we’ll customize a day that includes all of the things you want and nothing that you don’t. I’ll help you find a location that makes your soul sing, and document the entire experience.
YOU FOCUS ON MAKING THE MEMORIES AND I’LL DOCUMENT THEM FOR YOU.
ELOPING ISN’T ABOUT RUNNING AWAY— IT’S ABOUT RUNNING TOWARDS WHAT MATTERS MOST
Marriage is one of life’s most profound commitments, a promise between a man and woman stepping boldly into a new chapter. Choosing to elope means honoring that commitment in a way that’s deeply personal, free from outside expectations and focused entirely on your love. Whether it’s on top of a mountain summit, in a field of wildflowers, or beside a waterfall—
where you say your vows becomes part of your story.
I’ll help you find the perfect spot to tell this part of your story.
LET’S PLAN AND DOCUMENT ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAYS OF YOUR LIFE
I’M HERE TO HELP YOU PLAN THE ELOPEMENT OF YOUR DREAMS.
Hi, I’m Elise and nothing makes me feel more alive than spending time in the mountains and taking photos that capture the feelings of that moment. I’m a born and raised Colorado girl and I can’t wait to document YOUR story while showing you my favorite place in the world.
I care deeply about providing an experience where you feel at ease and can fully enjoy your elopement day and immerse yourself in the beauty of Colorado’s mountains. I’ll use my eight years of guiding experience to help you find the perfect location and plan a day that leaves you feeling like there’s nothing more you could possibly want for your elopement.
“Elise helped us organize our day and was super accommodating with what we wanted. She captured us in two locations that we were wanting and included our families as well. Elise was a natural behind the camera and made sure we not only felt comfortable but had FUN while taking our photos. We are in love with them and will cherish them forever!”
-Noah and Liv
“You can count on Elise to capture every little moment and detail, and to also be in tune with what you need on your wedding day.”
“Elise has such a calming presence that makes you immediately feel at ease and yourself in front of her camera. She meets you where you’re at and knows to provide direction when needed, but not direction that feels stiff or forced.
You can count on Elise to capture every little moment and detail, and to also be in tune with what you need on your wedding day. The way she shoots is timeless and her editing style is true to color (which I love). She was able to be flexible when our golden hour happened sooner than planned with clouds coming in, and was able to pull us away at a different time in order to get sunset photos at the right time!
Our wedding photos perfectly encompass all of the feelings and little moments during our wedding day from start to finish. We will truly cherish these photos for the rest of our life.”
-Kevin and Brooke
