frequently asked questions
-
Your elopement should be celebrated and documented just as a traditional wedding would. Just because it’s not a huge event, doesn't mean you don’t deserve to have the memories preserved for a lifetime! Especially with the elopement experiences that we provide, you’ll want every second documented to look back on years later.
-
The cost of your Colorado elopement will depend on a few different factors such as: location, guest count, lodging, elopement-day activities, and the vendors you choose to hire.
-
This is one of our favorite things about eloping in Colorado! It’s one of the only states in the U.S. that allows self-solemnization, which means you don’t need an officiant. It can really just be you, your love, and the mountains!
-
Lucky for you, we’ve created a process to make our planning experience together easy and fun. This includes:
Choosing your mountain town + date
Determining your guest count
Finding the perfect lodging
Booking your vendors
GET FREAKING MARRIED!
-
The absolute best months to get married in Colorado are between late June and early October. Unless you want a winter wonderland elopement, and in that case, we’d meet you on the slopes!
-
No! We love to travel and will meet you anywhere for your love story. However, we’re specialized in Breckenridge, Crested Butte, and Telluride and can give you the best experience there.

Jess was not just our photographer; she became an integral part of our special day. She scouted out the most breathtaking locations for our Crested Butte Wildflower Wedding, ensuring that every shot was nothing short of magical. Her eye for detail and her ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera made the entire process so enjoyable.
