colorado location guides
If you’re eloping with just the two of your or less than ~15 guests, you don’t have to find a specific location right now. Hiring a local elopement photographer (hi, us!) is the best way to get instant access to the best hidden gem spots you won’t find in any online guide (and save you tons of time). However, it can be helpful to browse through the different areas of Colorado to see what you’re most drawn to. Check those out below!
Summit County
Crested Butte
Rocky Mountain NP
Boulder
Aspen
Great Sand Dunes
San Juan Mountains
Vail
Buena Vista
Colorado Springs
Maroon Bells
Other Destinations
Though we are based in Colorado and solely photograph elopements there from July through October, we occasionally travel to California and other destinations during November to June! We spend early June every year in Yosemite, one of our favorite places in the US. Here are some destinations to check out:
