When the Colorado elopement day moves at your pace, it starts to look like this:

  • Wandering through a mountain town, grabbing coffee or a drink along the way
  • Ditching the wedding clothes and wearing whatever you want
  • Kicking off your shoes and dipping your toes in an alpine lake together
  • Catching the sunrise (or sunset) and getting some epic photos
  • Saying your vows somewhere quiet, just the two of you (and your dog by your side)

Planning a Colorado elopement and craving a day that moves at your pace in the mountains?

As your Colorado elopement photographer, I help plan your day from start to finish.

And yes, your dog is absolutely invited.

From your first idea to your photos landing in your inbox, you’re supported every step of the way.

I’m here to help you create the kind of Colorado elopement where you can hike at sunrise, pop champagne by a lake, say your vows in a private setting, and actually be present for it all.

No pressure.
No expectations.
No performing for others.

Just the two of you doing things your way, all day.

  • You’re not dreaming of a ballroom - you’re dreaming of a mountaintop, a quiet forest, or a place that feels a little wild and a lot like you.
  • You're down for a sunrise hike, popping champagne in hiking boots, or sharing vows somewhere private, not following a bunch of traditions that don’t actually mean anything to you.
  • You refer to your dog as your furbaby, furchild,  biological daughter/son, etc.

I might be the right photographer for you if:

If you read this and thought “okay, wait… this is literally us,”
you’re in the right place.

  • You’re a little quirky, a little adventurous, and totally unapologetic about it.
  • You believe your wedding day doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
  • You want a photographer who hypes you up, helps you plan, keeps things relaxed, quotes South Park, and ALWAYS carries snacks (very important)

I’m a local Colorado elopement photographer and crazy dog lady. I'm here to capture the moments as they naturally unfold. The way you reach for each other without thinking. The laughs in between the “big” moments. The quiet pauses that end up meaning everything later.

I’ll guide you when you need it, support you through the planning, and make sure your day feels easy, intentional, and incredibly fun

If you want a day that's relaxed, meaningful, and completely your own… I’m your gal.

Hi, I'm Lauren!

"We are so happy we chose Lauren for our elopement's photos. She was incredible to work with, easygoing, professional, and gave clear posing tips that made the whole session comfortable and fun. We felt so confident and beautiful throughout the shoot, which is exactly how we wanted to feel during such a special time!
We explored different spots and she did a fantastic job. Made the entire experience feel even more special. Our photos came out better than we could have imagined, timeless memories we’ll treasure forever. We can’t recommend her enough!"

"Her attention to detail along the whole process was incredible. She made us both feel so comfortable, my husband is camera shy, and the photos don’t show it at all! Her edits truly make us and the nature stand out and are not extreme. I love her personal touches and how she came with her own ideas and incorporated ours."

"Lauren is so phenomenal at what she does!"
