Colorado Elopement Photo and Video
Your elopement adventure starts here.
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 plan a wedding day that’s intimate, meaningful, and unforgettable in some of Colorado’s most incredible backdrops.
Rule #1: You don’t need to have anything figured out.
I don’t expect you to contact me knowing exactly what you want. You probably haven’t been to an elopement before, so you have no clue where to start. Good—because that’s my job! We're going to build your perfect elopement day…together.
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.

Hey there, I’m Alex!
Colorado Elopement Photographer and Videographer
I know about elopements firsthand because I eloped too! My husband and I felt overwhelmed planning a wedding that didn’t feel like us, so we traded tradition and expectation for our perfect elopement day. And somewhere while planning my own elopement, I realized it how incredible it would be to plan and capture elopements for other couples experiencing the same feelings about traditional weddings.
I’m not just your elopement photographer; I’m your storyteller, wedding/elopement planner, location guide, ultimate hype woman, dog petter, dance-party enthusiast, and so much more!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The best way to get in touch is through my contact form (https://www.mountaintimephoto.com/contact). If I’m available for your date, we’ll schedule a video chat to talk more and make sure we're a good fit!
This part is super important! I want to make sure we get along since I'm literally attending your wedding as a virtual stranger haha! The more comfortable you are around your photographer, the better your photos will be, too, so let’s make sure we’re a good fit before you book. Can’t wait to meet you!
-
There is so much behind the scenes that goes into my pricing structure. In addition to the hours of your session, I spend hours location planning, communicating, creating your photography session plan, building your shot list and the biggest time spent…editing! I want your day and your photos to be perfect and there is a lot that goes into that!
-
I believe your elopement is more than pretty photos--it should be your perfect day. I strive to help my couples feel excited about their elopement day by helping with all the details and planning and taking some of the stress off your shoulders. And, not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty fun to be around and I want to make sure you two have the best time!
And while I would love to say choose me because I’m the best elopement photographer in Colorado, I want you choose me because you know I’m the right photographer for you. I believe every couple has their elopement photographer "soulmate" - someone who they picture tagging along on one of the most important days of their lives!
-
Absolutely! This is a safe space for ALL humans no matter sexuality, race, religion, ethnicity or beliefs.
-
Most definitely! From the time you hit submit on my contact form, to the time we meet up for your session, I’m with you every step of the way. From location scouting to vendor suggestions to permits and activity timelines—I’m not just your elopement photographer, I’m your entire wedding day planner!
-
Absolutely! I will provide a comprehensive list of locations based on what we discuss in your consultation call. We can go anywhere in Colorado within 5 hours of my home (Fairplay, CO). Anywhere in the state outside of that range is a minimum of 6 hours of coverage.
If you have a spot your heart is set on, that’s great! Otherwise, I will discuss style and options with you then give you a comprehensive list of places to host your elopement, wedding, or engagement…then your job is to just show up ready to have fun! I’ve lived in Colorado for a decade and have explored remote places all around the state as well as neighboring states like Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona….so I’m certain I can find you the perfect location!
-
It’s your non-traditional wedding day, so we’re going to throw out the rule book and make this day whatever you want it to be! I will plan out a personalized itinerary for the entire day and send it to you well ahead of time.
Built into this itinerary is time for any activities of your choice (hiking, biking, fishing, off-road driving, swimming, paddle boarding, picnicking etc.), time for getting ready, a “first look”, vow exchange, plenty of private moments, an intimate brunch or lunch, dancing and, of course, photos!
-
The options are endless! We can go off-roading with a Jeep guide, take a hot air balloon tour, visit a drive-up lake and paddleboard, rent a sailboat, etc. When we hop on the phone, we can help narrow down what you’re most interested in for the big day!
-
The length of your elopement will depend on what all you want to do. I offer half and full day packages, but also provide the option to add additional hours. I never want elopements to feel rushed, so I recommend 4-6 hours minimum so your day can be stress free and truly about the experience!
-
Of course! Elopement doesn’t always mean no family or friends! The main point of an elopement is to ditch the rule book and make your day what YOU want it to be. If you want friends and/or family there, awesome!
Many couples will have family and friends there for part of the day, but leave time to spend together experiencing their day just for them. Then it’s a win-win situation!
-
Edited, high-resolution photos are delivered through an online gallery.
The number of photos you receive depends on the amount of hours of hour session. Most elopements will have 70-100 images delivered. Sessions under 2 hours will have more like 25-40 photos delivered.
Yes! Prints, calendars, save the dates, invites, and more can be directly purchased through your gallery.
-
Most of my elopement dates book out 1 year to 6 months in advance; however, sometimes spots open up, so it’s always worth reaching out! I suggest we start the planning process for elopements at least a month in advance, but likely longer to make sure your day is absolutely perfect!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Alex is AMAZING. Alex did our engagement, elopement and so much more! From the initial reach out, Alex was awesome. My husband and I didn't know exactly what we wanted for pictures but Alex easily solved every question we had and made being photographed feel effortless rather than awkward.She's an amazing photographer, planner, human, and dog-lover. Alex constantly went above and beyond for every aspect of our planning, engagement, and elopement and we can't wait for her to do family photographs in the future!
