I have always loved the outdoors. You can find me hiking mountain passes, rock climbing, planning another trip to Mexico, nose buried in some travel guides, looking up cheap flights to Australia, or off on some crazy 3 week long road trip to the Canadian Rockies with my cousins. I will help guide you through the entire process of planning an amazing experience. You can trust me with your wedding day dreams & will give you my all in planning out every little detail for your elopement.

Working with Malachi from the beginning was incredibly effortless and easy-going. From the moment we met him via zoom it was evident that he was the perfect fit to capture our special day – there was no need to search any further! Our elopement plan was for Arches National Park in October 2023, and once revealing that to Malachi we could see his professionalism, experience, and drive begin to kick in. He was knowledgeable about the area and was able to point us in the right direction, offering invaluable insights and helping us align our vision with the perfect locations. When we met in person on our big day, Malachi adapted seamlessly to our laid-back approach, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment while choreographing our movements without being pushy, or demanding. The day unfolded flawlessly and it was due to his calm demeanor, genuine personality, and unparalleled expertise with his craft (which you could tell he was serious and in love with). Endless compliments from our family and friends poured in raving about our magazine-worthy photographs. If you're looking for an elopement photographer and need someone who is kind, patient, professional, experienced, easy-going, and a cool dude, Malachi is 100% the right person for you.

My name's Leah and I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Denver, Colorado. I've been doing photography for 10 years and I still pinch myself that this is my full time career. I photograph a limited number of weddings each year to guarantee my time and commitment to each of my couples.

Leah is an absolute dream of a wedding photographer. We really wanted a photographer who would help us make our day fun and full of joy - and boy did she deliver (and then some!). She captured our day so perfectly and was incredibly professional throughout the whole planning process. She listened to our crazy ideas and executed them flawlessly (including her getting into the Vail gondola with us on the big day!). We would absolutely recommend Leah to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, and if we could give her 10 stars instead of 5, we would!! Thank you, Leah!

Meredith Austin Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Sanford, CO

I am an insatiable traveler chick who enjoys capturing the love of couples adventuring through life's most important moments, and capturing the small intimate ones we rarely put enough importance on - those raw, uniquely candid moments are my favorite. The emotion, energy and love that my clients provide to me is infectious. I'm always down to celebrate with a glass of something after we are finished (or maybe during *wink*) PS: my husband and I ELOPED! If you have questions regarding this special kind of commitment day, I'm here to answer all your questions!

Meredith met with us prior to signing the contract and we immediately knew we wanted her for our big day. During our wedding day, Meredith was so great at capturing every possible shot you could ever want! Her directions were so kind but necessary. She brings ease to your day and is fun to be around. The photos she captured were everything we ever wanted! We will be using her from here on out for all our photo needs :)

Shelly Anderson Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Sanford, CO

Shelly is a luxury award-winning wedding photographer who has photographed events all over the country and internationally. She focuses on the details, emotions, and the environment on the wedding day. Shelly's theory is; "the flowers will wilt, the invitations will be thrown away, and the cake will be eaten.....but the photographs will be how you remember and are brought back to that day. Photographs evoke an emotion in your when you look back on them. When you see a photo of your maid of honor laughing during the speech, or your parents tearing up during the vows....you will remember exactly how you felt that day."

We were thrilled with Shelly Anderson Photography for capturing our wedding day memories! Shelly and her team were a dream to work with - prompt, easy, and detailed communication made planning a breeze. On the big day, Shelly focused on capturing genuine moments, from our emotional first look to little details that embodied the joy and love we felt. The photos turned out beautifully, with Shelly's amazing talent for composition and lighting taking our breath away. She guided us at the right moments but also let real memories unfold. Most of all, Shelly and team made us feel comfortable being ourselves. Their caring professionalism shines through in their work and interactions. We wholeheartedly recommend Shelly Anderson Photography to capture your once-in-a-lifetime moments!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado, but willing to travel anywhere with no travel fees in 2024! My style is very candid and photojournalistic. I aim to capture your day as it TRULY is. I'm there to document the big moments such as your first kiss and your vows, but also the little moments, like the way you two hold each other, or a glance from a family member that you don't get to see. I hope you look back on your photos and see things that you remember, but also get to see moments you might have missed.

I loved working with Hayley. As an Officiant, I know the importance of making a couple feel comfortable and heard. Hayley does just that for and with her couples. She is always willing to do whatever she can to get that perfect shot and be sure her couple is happy. It is an pleasure to work with her and I am always excited to see her wedding day photos.

Jennie Crate, Photographer

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Sanford, CO

A little fun stuff about me: I believe in goodnight kisses and holding hands as you fall asleep. My wife and I have been married for 10 years and share our house with four furry children, a foster kiddo or two, and two sons, Easton and Finn. I’m often quiet, but I could talk about The Bachelorette for hours. I believe that exploring is more important than getting to your destination. I believe the perfect day is an afternoon in the mountains & a night cuddling at home. I re-read my favorite books because a good story never gets old. I believe in planning your dreams

Working with Jennie is always such a pleasure! Not only does her work always blow us away, but she also has amazing communication skills. Jennie knows exactly what she is doing and is full of professionalism, but also shows her sweet and caring nature while we are working together. Any time Jennie is the wedding photographer while we are planning, we know that the clients are in great hands because she takes such great care of them at all times!

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

My goal is simple. That is to tell your story by focusing on what makes you, YOU! Whether that be your obsession with Game of Thrones, your love for craft beer, or hiking one of Colorado’s many trailheads. I want my couple’s to not be afraid of incorporating their passions, hobbies, and personal style into their wedding day. I help you do this by working with you to create something unique to you and your partner.

Jennifer did my engagement and wedding pictures this year and did such an amazing job! They turned out better than I could have hoped for and I will always love looking back at these pictures. I feel like she went above and beyond to get the exact pictures that I wanted. I would highly recommend for any occasion or event!

We're Jess and Austin Drawhorn — married adventure elopement photographers based in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. We’ve been planning & photographing elopements all over the world since 2017. We believe in social justice, equality, science, kindness – in following your heart and trusting your gut and finding your passions in life. We care about protecting the environment and respecting animals. We’re big fans of humanity too, in helping people, and we’re willing to see the best in everyone. We’re doing our best to live these beliefs every day and to lead lives we’re proud of.

I've worked with The Drawhorns for a couple of years and have witnessed them interact with all different types of people on their elopement day. Every time I get to work with them, I'm blown away by their empathy, compassion and thoughtful approach to creating an elopement experience that is truly tailored to each and every person they work with. From casual hikes to beautiful vistas to offroading adventures through the mud in the rugged San Juan mountains, The Drawhorns can do it all... and they do it all with a smile! You'll hire them as photographers but you'll discover you may just get a couple of close friends by the end of it :)

Elise Taylor Photography

An old friend recently got married. Before she received her wedding photos back from their (amazing) photographer she had compiled her friends cell phone photos to share. She described it as the ‘raw footage’ before the professional photos were released. I love that so much. I feel like that’s how this film, documentary style I have feels. The images I give you feel like the raw footage from your closest friends and family.

Elise is the best in the biz! She is so easy-going, and professional, and her photos always bring us so much joy. We hire her every year for our family photos and wish we had known her back when we got married - guess we'll just have to hire her when we renew our vows! I love that she loves film photography, and that she's super easy to work with - thanks for all the memories, Elise!!

My style combines the candid nature of photojournalism with the elegance of fine art, to provide you with the most gorgeous and true-to-life keepsakes from your wedding! With a mixture of posed and candid shots, my team focuses on the emotional moments and important relationships that come together to make this day so special. In addition, we are known for incorporating atmosphere and scenery in a way that captures the essence of your wedding, allowing you to re-live all of the joy and love you felt on that day for many years to come!

When it came to our wedding, we knew pictures would be something we would continue to look at for a lifetime and wanted a photographer to capture our special day. We did a lot of research and ultimately found Sarah and are so happy we did! Sarah exceeded our expectations and was absolutely wonderful. Both Sarah and Christina (2nd photographer) were extremely friendly and made the process so much fun! They captured all the shots we were looking for and were respectful of our timeline. They made sure we were able to be around for our wedding while also getting all the shots we wanted. We also did an adventure session the day after our wedding and Sarah was again fantastic to work with! We are so happy with how the pictures turned out and we know we will have these forever to remember our wedding. We would highly recommend Sarah Barth Images to anyone looking for photos that you’ll treasure for a lifetime!

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan! I've had the honor of capturing all walks of life across the USA with hopes of taking it worldwide. I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients. If you feel like you’re awkward in front of the camera, I’ll take that as a challenge to prove you wrong because I can be awkward too.

Awarded Best of Zola
The communication we had with Arie prior to the wedding really put me and my wife at ease. Arie has a way of making you feel comfortable and less like a stranger even though we had never met. She was so easy to work with and has this calm demeanor which worked out perfect for someone like me. Her vibe fit us perfectly and I couldn't have asked for anyone better on one of the most important days of our lives. We would recommend Arie 100% to anyone. We are so excited to see the pictures!

I asked Leah to be my wedding photographer years before I even met my husband after seeing photos from different weddings I was apart of. Her work is phenomenal. This spring I got married and Leah was our photographer. THE PICTURES WERE PHENOMENAL!! I am still in awe of the beauty and magic Leah captured that day. If you are looking for a photographer that can capture more than a picture…Leah Flores is your photographer.

Gabbie Burseth Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Sanford, CO for additional fees

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie is a literal gem. Her work is incredible and she fit into our day so seamlessly and made us feel so comfortable and celebrated, all while capturing every sweet moment!!! Would absolutely recommend working with her.
