You don’t have to hike

10 miles for it to count.

You love the idea of eloping in nature… but you also love brushing your teeth, not sweating through your wedding clothes, and not having to poop in the woods. If you want to feel wild and free and in love - not lost, hangry, and fending off mosquitos, we can absolutely do that. With real views, real connection, and real snacks.

outdoorsy but like… with plumbing.

  • All of the Local Knowledge: From alpine lakes to secret overlooks, I’m always out exploring so I can help you find the Colorado elopement location that fits you.

  • Dope images: Obviously you’re here for the jaw-dropping photos SO whether you're planning a 4x4 wedding, or a dreamy hot springs elopement, I’ll be there catching the real stuff: dirt on your boots, dog hair on your dress, and that look you gave each other when it all just clicked.

You can get married somewhere jaw droppingly gorgeous without sweating through your outfit, rationing trail snacks, or pretending you like switchbacks. The best spots in Colorado? I know 'em. The wild views and drive up access. The hidden gems. The cozy cabins with mountain backdrops and zero tourists. Easy to get to, wildly scenic, totally you.

So if your ideal wedding day includes nature but not nature trying to kill you? We’re gonna get along great.

“From initial request to getting our gallery Kim communicated with us the whole time, even before getting out there sending us resources ranging from what colors compliment the scenery to location temperature ranges and weather it was all so helpful. Kim is so patient and fun to work with we never felt awkward or like we were posing for pictures it just felt like we were out hiking through gorgeous locations with friends. “
