Colorado Elopement Photographer
Creating Unforgettable Elopements in Colorado’s Wildest Landscapes
Ready for a stress-free kind of wedding day?
If big, traditional weddings aren’t your vibe…you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Mountain Time Photo, where we ditch the rules and plan an elopement day that feels like you. Whether you’re over the stress of planning a wedding or you’ve always dreamed of an adventure elopement, I’m here to help you create a wedding day that’s intimate, meaningful, and unforgettable.
Let’s plan your dream elopement in the Colorado mountains!
Let’s be honest, the day is about YOU—not about throwing a party for everyone else. Your elopement should be a celebration of your love, filled with moments that actually matter. Picture this: handwritten vows at sunrise on a mountaintop, a Jeep ride to a secluded alpine lake, or a private picnic with your dogs by your side.
Does that sound like the kind of wedding day you’ve been dreaming about? Good—because that’s exactly what I help couples create.
Forget the stress and let me handle the details.
From choosing the perfect location to nailing down the little details (like where to grab tacos after your ceremony), I’ll be your guide, your photographer, and your biggest cheerleader every step of the way. So what do you say? Let’s make your wedding day feel exactly the way you want it to.
Your elopement adventure starts here.
Hey, Hi, Hello, I’m Alex!
Your Colorado Elopement Photographer and Videographer
Like many of you, I quickly decided that a big, traditional wedding wasn’t for me. When we got engaged, my husband and I decided to elope instead. And while planning my own elopement, I realized it how cool it would be to plan and capture elopements for other couples experiencing the same doubts about traditional weddings.
I’ve lived in Colorado for over a decade and before I started this business, I was spending all my free time hiking secluded trails, driving unmarked dirt roads, hiking miles into the wilderness with my dogs, waking up at 3 am to see the Milky Way, and lugging my camera gear everywhere I went. I know these areas because I’ve been there and experienced them. I won’t bring you to the same boring spots from Instagram. I’ll show you incredible locations you could only dream of!
I’m not just your elopement photographer; I’m your storyteller, wedding and elopement planner, mountain guide, ultimate hype woman, dog snuggler, dance-party enthusiast, and so much more!
So if you’re ready to experience your perfect day with your perfect person, contact me today and let’s do this!

Forget the crowded, overdone spots you’ve seen on Instagram. I specialize in finding private, untouched locations where your elopement can truly feel intimate and special. Whether it’s a mountaintop at sunrise or a wildflower meadow that feels like it’s just for you, I’ll make sure your day is nothing short of magical.
-
Planning an elopement can feel overwhelming—but not when I’m by your side! I’ll help you dream up the perfect day, offer activity ideas that fit your vibe, and wrap it all up in a timeline and Elopement Guide for you. Your job? Show up, soak it all in, and enjoy every moment.
-
This isn’t just about pretty pictures (though you’ll get plenty of those too). It’s about telling the story of your adventure—every laugh, tear, and breathtaking view. My approach is natural and candid, so you’ll feel free to just be yourselves while I capture the magic.
-
I’m not just your photographer—I’m your trail guide, adventure buddy, dog petter, and hype person. My goal is to make your day feel effortless, fun, and full of unforgettable moments.

“If you’re looking for a day filled with adventure and a once in a lifetime experience, Alex is your girl! Our elopement was everything we dreamed of and so much more. Standing on top of the highest mountains, to having a private picnic with moose..absolutely incredible. We now have the most beautiful photos to cherish and we are forever grateful. Looking over our full gallery had us in tears. These memories will last forever and we are SO glad Alex was a part of them!”
Mountain Time Photo Core Values
Authenticity Over Expectation
Your wedding day should be for you. I see too many people having big, traditional weddings even though it doesn’t feel like them because of external expectations and pressure from outside parties. I’m here to help you create a perfect day that feels authentically you.
Unforgettable Experiences
I truly believe that there is healing in nature. By creating a day centered enjoying all of the incredible experiences Colorado has to offer, your wedding day will feel like an unforgettable adventure you’ll want to be fully present in, rather than an all-day photoshoot.
Adventure for All
This is a safe space for everyone. There is no room for discrimination, hatred, or bigotry here. Mountain Time Photo celebrates all love and all humans. LGBTQIA+ affirming. All religions, races, ethnicities, beliefs, and loves welcome and celebrated here—now and always.
2025 Travel Dates
There are no travel fees for weddings, elopements or sessions booked in these places while I’m there!

Wildflower Capital of Colorado
-
Glacial lakes and waterfalls and world-class off-roading in Ouray and Silverton.
Your elopement should be an experience, not just a few photos.
News flash! An elopement is NOT just a quick version of a traditional wedding. Elopements have come a long way since the days of running off to Vegas to secretly get married by an Elvis impersonator.
I’ve helped couples in your shoes plan and capture the elopement days of their dreams. Because I do more than show up and take pretty pictures.

I help you answer all these questions and more! You need more than a photographer for your big day—you need an elopement expert and longtime local to help you every step of the way.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Alex for our Colorado elopement! From the start, she was so laid-back and easy to work with, making the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She didn’t just take photos—she helped us create an experience that felt authentic and meaningful to us.
When we saw the final pictures, we were blown away. Alex truly captured us—our personalities, emotions, and the little moments that made the day so special. If you’re looking for a photographer who will put you at ease and deliver stunning, heartfelt photos, Alex is great!”
