They first found me on Google — one of those random little internet moments that somehow led to something really special. On our first call, Alison and I instantly clicked. She was warm, funny, and already had this clear vision for their fall elopement in Breckenridge. You know when a conversation just flows? That was […]

When I think back to Jay and Erica’s Breckenridge Nordic Center wedding, the first thing that comes to mind is how it all started with their engagement session at Piney River Ranch.

When Madison and Kevin reached out about their Crested Butte engagement photos, I knew this session would be something special. Crested Butte isn’t just a gorgeous mountain town, but in a way it kind of feels like it’s their place. It’s where they’ve spent a lot of time hiking together, soaking in the views, and […]

There’s nothing quite like a San Juan Mountains elopement. The towering peaks, crisp air, and that feeling that you’re part of something bigger. For Torrie and Chauncey, these mountains weren’t just a stunning backdrop, they were the place where everything shifted. Just days before, they had found out they were expecting, so every moment carried […]

Kale and Gabe didn’t want a big, traditional wedding—and honestly, thank goodness, because their mountain elopement in Ouray turned out to be one of the most fun, heart-filled days I’ve ever photographed.

Meléna and Justin’s Camp Hale wedding kicked off in the sweetest way. Before the ceremony, they did a “first touch”—standing just around the corner from each other, holding hands without peeking, and saying a prayer together. It felt grounding, like you could almost feel the peace settle in around them. Later, during the ceremony, Justin’s […]

Sara and Chris’s Breckenridge Colorado elopement was the perfect mix of style and intimacy. With wildflowers all around, a hidden alpine meadow, and heartfelt private vows, their day was filled with natural beauty and meaning.

Sadie and Ryan’s wildflower elopement in Ouray felt simple, beautiful, and personal. But before we get to the mountains, let’s rewind to how this all started. Matching on Bumble in 2021 led to a FaceTime date (because, hello modern love) before finally meeting up in person. Their first real date was at a taco bar—and […]

There’s just something about a Crested Butte elopement in the middle of wildflower season that feels like stepping into another world. The air was warm, the kind of summer day you wish you could bottle up and keep forever. Everywhere you looked, color spilled across the meadows, with mountains stretching endlessly in the distance. India […]
