Colorado Elopement + Wedding Photographer
helping couples plan and document elopements in Colorado’s stunning wild places.
A wedding day so epic, you’ll want to do it all over again.
Unforgettable adventures. The best places to elope in Colorado. The kind of day that makes you say, “holy sh*t, we did that!”
That’s what I promise to bring to your elopement or intimate wedding day. Believe me, you’ll need the photographic evidence to convince your friends and family that yes, you actually did that in wedding attire.
Rule #1: Forget the rules.
Unlike traditional weddings, there’s no copy-and-paste template for your elopement day. If you think it sounds absolutely crazy, you’re on the right track. Dreaming of saying “I do” in a field of wildflowers? Let’s do it. Want to take a Jeep tour to a turquoise lake for a picnic? I’m there. Putting together a guest list that only includes dogs? Say less.
I’m here to help you create an elopement that truly feels like you, and we’re not going to settle for anything less. So if you’re ready to rewrite the rules and experience a wedding day that’s unique, adventurous, and intentional, let’s chat. Your adventure starts here.
Hey new friend, I’m Alex!
Your Colorado Elopement Photographer and Videographer
Like many of you, I knew a big wedding wasn’t for me. After planning my own Colorado elopement, I knew I could help other couples wanting something different by planning and capturing authentic elopement adventures in the mountains.
I live in the mountains of Colorado, 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. The outdoors is my passion and I love sharing that with others. That’s why I won’t bring you to the same boring spots you see on Instagram. I’ll show you incredible locations you won’t have to share with crowds!
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!
“We want to elope, but don’t know where to start!”
That’s where I come in! Never been to Colorado and not sure where you want to elope? Great, I have a ton of epic locations up my sleeve. Don’t have a date picked yet? That’s okay! We can pick the perfect date together. Overwhelmed by all the planning stress? Breathe, I’ve got you! I’ll help you with everything from trusted vendor recommendations and lodging to creating your timeline and suggesting activities and details to make your wedding day feel like you.
I plan intentional elopement and microweddings that are more than “just a few photos. Together, we craft an experience that is unique and different, not less. All packages include end-to-end planning, off-the-beaten-path locations, vendor recommendations, and resources to support you the entire way.
Every Elopement Package Includes
-
Authentic Photography
My photography style is candid, authentic, and timeless. I want you to experience a wedding day, not a photo shoot. You’ll receive gorgeous photos that document your full elopement day story, from start to finish.
-
Exclusive Planning
In addition to unlimited access to ongoing resources and planning, couples also receive my VIP Elopement Planning Guide, which includes over 70 pages of planning resources, activity ideas, details, packing lists, travel hacks, and more!
-
Dream Locations
Each couple receives a personalized location guide tailored to their dream setting for elopement or wedding photos—no hiking required (unless, of course, you want to)! I can also help you choose the perfect traditional venue for your intimate wedding.
-
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.
-
Activities and Details
Your elopement shouldn’t feel like just another day. 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 Coordination
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!
Kayla and Austin
“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…it was 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. All sexualities, 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!”
