Elopement Packages and Pricing
For the couples who want to say no to tradition and expectation and YES to an unforgettable experience.
Your elopement day shouldn’t feel like just another day—I want it to feel like your best day. That’s why when you book me, you’re choosing someone who truly cares about your elopement day.
You chose to elope because you want your day to be fun, not stressful; and that’s what you invest in when you book with me—someone to take the stress out of planning and make wedding planning fun again.
All packages include tons of elopement planning and resources as well as unlimited access to my expertise and local knowledge. And I’m not big into surprises, so everything is included…no hidden travel fees or sneaky charges. What you see is what you get!
What’s Included?
-
Each couple gets a customized location guide with 5+ locations to choose from based on your must-have list. We figure out what’s most important to you: seclusion, accessibility, jaw-dropping views—and I find that.
Waterfalls, alpine lakes, golden aspen forests, and so much more.
I’ve scouted each location personally so there are no surprises on your wedding day.
-
Every couple receives my 60-page Elopement Planning Guide and unlimited support and consultations up until your big day. I won’t disappear once you book, I’m with you every step of the way to check in, answer questions, and help you plan.
I create your timeline end to end, including schedules, activities, shot list, back-up plans, etc.
-
I will provide a list of preferred elopement vendors for things like hair and makeup (even at sunrise), florists, outdoor guides, private catering, lodging, etc. who specialize in elopements and intimate weddings.
I’ll also share things to do, hikes I love, must-see attractions, and much more!
-
Unsure of what you need for your marriage license? I got you. Can’t figure out whether a location will need a permit? Don’t worry, I’m on it.
I help with permitting information for your elopement location and help you determine what you need for the permit.
-
Forget cheesy portraits and stuffy celebrations! I will help you plan an elopement with activities that feel like you. I want your elopement to be an experience, not just a day with posed photos.
I share ideas for elopement activities like hiking, 4x4 driving, sunset picnics, canoeing, horseback riding, yoga, cooking classes, and so much more.
Hey new friend, I’m Alex,
your elopement photographer!
Fun fact: my husband and I decided to elope because we wanted our day to be for us! In addition to capturing incredible photos, I create unforgettable experiences for your wedding day. Your day should be focused that experience to celebrate your love without stress and expectations.
I’ve lived in Colorado for over a decade and spend all my free time hiking the most beautiful trails, exploring secluded 4x4 roads, and experiencing all of the amazing things things Colorado has to offer. My passion for the outdoors translates to everything I do when planning your elopement and promises you’ll get a real mountain experience!
When you hire me, I get to know you for real, not just surface-level stuff. I want to create your dream day, and that takes an understanding who you are and what you truly want.
Can’t wait to meet you!

Asked
Questions
-
Because I care about making your day elopement day unique and unforgettable! While I would love to say choose me because I’m the best elopement photographer in Colorado, I want you choose me because you believe I’m the right photographer for you.
I believe not only taking gorgeous outdoor photos, but also making sure my couples really enjoy the elopement experience! All my elopement packages include end-to-end planning and support. I don’t just show up the day of your elopement and snap a few pictures, I’m with you every step of the way!
-
There is so much behind the scenes that goes into my pricing structure. In addition to the coverage time of your elopement, wedding, or couple’s session, I spend hours location planning and scouting, communicating, creating your plan and timeline, connecting you with vendors, and editing!
I want your day to be perfect and there is a lot of time and effort that goes into that!
-
Absolutely! This is a safe space for ALL humans no matter sexuality, race, religion, ethnicity or beliefs.
-
Absolutely! I will provide a comprehensive list of locations based on what we discuss in your consultation call. Honestly, choosing your location among all the incredible options might just be the hardest decision you make—but I’m here to help!
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 nearly a decade and have explored remote places all around the state as well as neighboring states like Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona.
-
Absolutely! As an elopement specialist, my job is far beyond photography. I help you plan everything from helping you choose a location to providing vendor recommendations to creating your timeline and helping you plan out any activities!
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. I’m not just your elopement photographer, I’m your entire elopement day planner!
-
It’s your 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!
-
Hiking is definitely not the only option available to get to incredible elopement locations. 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 paddle board, 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.
-
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 for them to enjoy and experience their wedding day alone as well. Then it’s a win-win situation!
-
I like to keep elopement guest sizes to 10-15 people. Some locations have group size restrictions. The smaller the group, the more freedom we have when choosing a location, especially for a more secluded spot. For groups larger than 10-15 people, you’ll may need to reserve a paid location for your elopement.
-
Edited, high-resolution photos are delivered through an online gallery with unlimited free downloads for both you and friends and family!
Yes! Prints, calendars, save the dates, invites, and more can be directly purchased through your gallery.
-
Most of my elopement dates book out 6 months in advance; however, I’ve also planned elopements in as little as two weeks! I suggest we start the planning process for elopements at least a month in advance, but likely longer.
