MEET YOUR COLORADO ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER!
I’m Natalie. I’m your best new adventure buddy and biggest fan. You’re here because you want to elope in Colorado!
There are so many amazing locations to choose from in this state. You could want a Crested Butte or San Juans wildflower elopement in the summer. Or you could want privacy in shoulder season in Breckenridge or Boulder for your elopement amidst snowcapped peaks. We’re also home to three National Parks (Great Sand Dunes, Rocky Mountain, and Black Canyon of the Gunnison). This is barely scratching the surface. I have guides on guides for eloping in Colorado and am here to support all adventures!
I hike, ski, bike, rock climb, kayak, backpack, and could probably be convinced to do just about anything.

Year round! No matter when you visit Colorado for your elopement it is beautiful. Spring brings cooler, but pleasant weather and some snowstorms in the Rockies. Summer is for wildflowers and the best sunsets. Fall is when the aspens turn golden and Colorado comes alive in color. Winter is pure magic and not to be missed. Colorado enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year!

The first step to booking your Colorado elopement is to reach out and tell me about your elopement plans. From there we set up a meeting to get to know each other better.

After booking I send you my location questionnaire to fill out. After I receive your answers I create a custom location guide to help you choose the best location in Colorado to elope in!
