THE EXPERIENCE.
What is it like working with me?
I am going to be there to serve you. I want to deliver a gallery of beautiful images but it is so much more than that. I want to hear all the sappy romantic details of your love story. How he asked you out, how you guys fell in love, how he popped the question. What you guys love to do together, why you are so attracted to one anothe. I want to know it all!
If you are just looking for someone who will take clean, pretty, posed photos - I am not your girl, and thatβs okay. But, if you are the kind of person who:
is okay with getting dirt and mud on your dress
doesn't mind having the wind, rain, or snow mess up your hair
will laugh so hard you pee a little
will cry because you are so dang happy
loves being in the moment with your person...
...let's talk and dream up your best day together!
I LIVE for real, unposed, candid, authentic moments. Those in-between moments that you think nobody sees? I see them and make sure you can remember them forever.
HEREβS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN YOU BOOK WITH ME.
LETβS TALK ABOUT LOGISTICS. START TO FINISH, HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN YOU ELOPE WITH ME IN COLORADO.
I AM HERE FOR YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
So youβre interested in booking with me! I am SO FREAKING EXCITED to get to know you and your story!
Here's how it works:
Fill out a contact form
I respond within 48 hours with a pricing guide diving into all the spicy goodies, including the information you need to decide to book
We'll talk dates, locations, vision for your day, and make sure we're a great fit
I send over a contract + invoice so we can get your date locked and loaded! I only accept 2-3 elopements a month, and your date is not reserved until we have a signed contract together.
Once you've booked, we'll start the planning process! I am here for you every step of the way and here to help with any and everything.
We'll nail down the perfect location for your elopement or session based on what you have envisioned. I've lived in Colorado for roughly 28 years--I consider myself an expert in the state. One of my favorite parts of this process is helping my couples decide on a mountain town to elope in! And don't worry, I handle permits and behind the scenes work.
Vendor recs? I got you. If you have ANY questions, I am available any time while we are working together. Once we get closer to your date, we'll build a timeline together to ensure that we have the best lighting and plenty of time. The best part about elopements is that you get to spend the day doing WHATEVER THE HECK YOU WANT TO DO, free of outside opinions and pressure! Do you want to dance on the edge of a cliff? YES. Do you want to go to an arcade in your wedding clothes and play together? YES. Do you want to go eat ice cream together? YES. Do you want to jump in a lake and take steamy photos at the end of the night? HECK FREAKING YES.
WHAT WILL OUR ELOPEMENT DAY LOOK LIKE?
I am my belovedβs and my beloved is mine.

ON YOUR WEDDING DAY:
I want you to release any and all expectations of what you think it is like to work with a professional photographer. There is no pressure. I want to make your day as easy, seamless, carefree, free-flowing and fun as I possibly can. Let me be the one to stress about the details, you just enjoy your day and each other.
βBut weβre awkward in front of the camera!β you say. Honey, I have heard that SO MANY TIMES.and it is usually those couples that end up BRINGING THE HEAT.
I promise I will give you direction and tell you what to do so you never have to wonder what you should be doing. I foster moments of authentic connection and intimacy, and I hang back to capture your natural selves. There is nothing worse than awkward prom poses, and I promise we will not be doing that.
I will be your hype girl the whole day and tell you how DAMN beautiful you guys look.
Once our time together is done, we will give hugs and say our goodbyes. I will go home or back to my hotel and IMMEDIATELY back up all your photos from the day in at least two locations. I cull and choose which photos I am going to edit. Right away I will edit around 10-20 photos as sneak peeks to send over in your online gallery. The rest of your gallery will be completed within 6-8 weeks. Once done, Iβll send you an email with instructions on how to download them and all my recommendations, love, and reminiscing on your day! Youβll pop some bubbly and get to relive your best day ever!
My favorite mountain towns:
Crested Butte
Ouray
Telluride
Buena Vista
