Colorado Elopement + Wedding Photographer
For couples dreaming of something a little bit different on their wedding day.
You deserve more on your wedding day.
More adventure. More experience. More authenticity. Welcome to Mountain Time Photo, where we ditch the rules and plan a wedding day that feels like you. Whether you’re planning an adventurous elopement in the mountains or an intimate wedding with a few of your favorite people, I’m here every step of the way to help you plan and capture a wedding day that’s everything you want and more.
Rule #1: Remember what YOU want on your wedding day.
My first piece of advice when planning an elopement or wedding is: figure out what you two want and forget about everything else. Throw out the rules, expectations, and pressure—you deserve to be a little selfish on your wedding day.
My second piece of advice: let me take some of the stress off your plate. I’m here to guide you through the planning process every step of the way. From choosing your perfect location to making your day feel relaxing and stress-free, I’ll be your guide, your photographer, and your biggest hype-woman every step of the way.
All love deserves to be celebrated authentically, and as your photographer, I want to make you feel seen on your big day. That’s why I go above and beyond photography to get to know you on a personal level. When I show up on your wedding day, I want you to feel like we’re old friends.
So what do you say? Are you ready for the wedding day you deserve? Your elopement adventure starts here.
Hey new friend, I’m Alex!
Your Colorado Elopement Photographer and Videographer
Like many of you, I knew that a big, traditional wedding wasn’t for me. My husband and I decided to elope and then plan a micro-wedding afterward. While planning my own elopement and wedding, I wondered how I could help other couples facing similar doubts about traditional weddings by planning and capturing authentic wedding days in the Colorado mountains.
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 deep 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 you see on 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!
Elopement Packages
I help couples plan elopement days that are far more than “just a few photos.” I curate experiences for couples who want something different…not something less. All packages include end-to-end planning, off-the-beaten-path locations, vendor recommendations, resources to support you at every step of the process, and more.
*Elopements June-October start at 4 hours
What’s included in packages?
-
Authentic Photography
I’m not going to force you to pose and smile for 4+ hours on your wedding day. My style of photography is candid, authentic, and timeless. Coverage ranges from 4-hour elopements to multi-day wedding packages. I also offer add-on videography packages!
-
Customized Locations
Each couple receives a personalized location guide tailored to their dream setting for elopement or wedding photos—no hiking involved (unless of course you want to)! I can also help you choose the perfect traditional venue for your intimate wedding with guests.
-
Exclusive Planning Guide
Booked couples receive my VIP Elopement Planning Guide, which includes over 70 pages of planning resources, activity ideas, unique details to include, packing lists, attire brainstorming, lodging logistics, preparing guests, travel hacks, and more!
-
Local Vendor Recommendations
I take the guesswork (and endless internet searches) out of finding your dream elopement vendor team for day-of coordination, hair and makeup, florists, lodging, restaurants, private chefs and catering, pet attendants, activity guides, gear rentals, and more.
-
Mountain Activity Inspiration
Your elopement shouldn’t feel like a long, arduous photo shoot. Activities and details tell the unique story of your wedding day! I help brainstorm and plan activities to make your elopement feel like a true Colorado adventure that also feels true to your relationship.
-
Timeline and Day-Of Planning
You worry about having the best day ever, while I take care of the day-of logistics. I create your full elopement day photography timeline, including help for getting your marriage license, packing essentials, and more, so you can just show up and enjoy your perfect wedding day!

“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 foreve,r 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.

Zoe and Casey
“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!”
