Elopements

Planning an Elopement?

We offer four types of elopement collections:

  • Micro – Six hours of coverage is ideal for a private wedding with your inner circle. This amount of time can be used to beautifully capture the best moments of your big day: getting ready, first look, ceremony, newlywed portraits, family and wedding party as well as the start of your reception.
  • Petite – Four hours of coverage works for couples who are planning a small, intimate wedding with loved ones. The mountains will provide a stunning backdrop for your photos of the main events.
  • Intimate – Three hours is the perfect amount of coverage for those who want to exchange vows in the mountains and also capture some jaw-dropping portraits in the mountains in a few locations.
  • Short & Sweet – Two hours of coverage will document your self-solemnization ceremony and mountain portraits with just the two of you or up to 10 guests.

We understand that elopements often go hand in hand with tight timelines. Reach out ASAP to secure your preferred date, allowing us to help you plan and capture a memorable, special occasion.
