Colorado Elopement Photo and Video that’s as unique as your love.

Your wedding day should be an adventure.

So you decided an ordinary wedding just isn’t for you.

Perfect! Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of a traditional wedding or have always dreamed of a unique elopement experience, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Mountain Time Photo, where we rewrite the rules and blaze our own trails to create unforgettable elopement adventures.

Your wedding day shouldn’t feel scripted.

Rigid timelines, stuffy ballrooms, expensive buffets no one remembers…so often traditional weddings seem like they’re a pricey celebration for everyone BUT you. Your elopement can and should be a day that feels authentically you. It’s time to choose yourself on your wedding day and let go of the stress of planning a wedding that feels all wrong.

I’ll help you ditch the outdated expectations and dream up your perfect day! Maybe you hike up a mountain trail before the sun rises to read handwritten vows beside a rushing waterfall, take a Jeep adventure to a secluded alpine lake for a celebratory picnic, and end your day with a first dance beneath the stars. Get excited, because you can have all that for your elopement day…and more!

Despite what it may feel like now, planning your wedding day should be fun, not soul sucking.

So what do you say, are you ready to feel excited about getting married?

Your elopement adventure starts here.

Elope with Me!

Hey, Hi, Hello! I’m Alex!

Colorado Elopement Photographer and Videographer

Like many of you, I quickly found out big, traditional weddings aren’t my thing. When I got engaged, wedding planning felt like just another chore I had to cross off my to-do list. So my now-husband and I decided to elope. And while planning my own elopement, I realized it how awesome it would be to plan and capture elopements for other couples experiencing the same feelings about traditional weddings.

I’ve lived in Colorado for over a decade and before I started this business, I was spending every free second hiking secluded trails, driving unmarked dirt roads, sleeping in a tiny tent 6 miles into the wilderness with just my dog, waking up at 3 am to take photos of the Milky Way, and lugging my camera gear on my back 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!

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 Adventures

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.

Elopements 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.

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.

Not sure where in Colorado to elope?
How to find those hidden gem locations?
How to choose your vendors?
What activities to include?
How to get your marriage license?
Which season is best for you?

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. Elopement packages start at $4,600.
