When I ask couples the reason behind their decision to elope, many mention the cost. The financial burden of planning and hosting a wedding seems never-ending sometimes! With constantly rising costs, many modern couples are looking toward elopement for their wedding. Let’s break down some of the potential things you can find yourself spending money on when you choose to elope.

I am so excited to share this styled session at Denver Photo Collective with you! This boho Denver wedding session was so much fun for me to shoot.

Our models for the shoot were Amber and Ernest. As you can see, they’re absolutely stunning. They were recently married and are so obviously in love. They could barely keep their hands off of each other during the shoot, which made my job so much fun.

Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most popular destinations for elopements because of the picturesque views and serene environment. Today I wanted to share a few things to keep a note of if you’re planning a Rocky Mountain National Park elopement and some ways you can make the most of your trip.

I am so excited to share this styled shoot with you. I’ve really wanted to have a gorgeous elopement shoot with the red rocks in Colorado because I think this landscape is incredible and the contrast between the bride in stark white against the vibrant red rock makes for the most amazing imagery!

Elopements are a uniquely special type of wedding shoot. I love the adventure and intimacy of an elopement versus a traditional wedding. It seems to me that the elopements I shoot are more focused on the couple and their unique relationship, interests, or personality, where the typical wedding ceremony in a venue with a big crowd is a result of family traditions and relationships coming together to represent all who are celebrating.

This was one of my favorite elopements because the location was incredible and the couple has some of the sweetest moments I’ve ever had the privilege to be a part of as a photographer. Chelsia and Kenney wanted a simple, yet memorable wedding day.

An elopement is about taking away the pressures and expectations that society places on a wedding day and creating your perfect day to represent your love and focus on the two of you. It doesn’t matter where you do it, who’s there, or what you do - all that matters is that you’re doing it for the two of you.
