For couples who collect memories, chase adventures & make their own traditions
Ouray Elopement Photographer
But with so many options, where do you even start?!
Imagine having someone who knows the mountains, helps you find that perfect spot, and takes care of the planning details so you can focus on getting married, exploring, and having the absolute best time together.
Well, I GOT YOU!
Planning an elopement and dreaming of a wildly meaningful day in the mountains of Ouray, Colorado?
As your Ouray elopement photographer, I help plan your day from start to finish . . .
From your first idea to your photos landing in your inbox, I've got your back every step of the way.
Also, please bring your dog.
- You’re dreaming of getting married on a mountaintop or a quiet forest.
- You're down getting your dress dirty and your boots muddy.
- You believe your wedding day doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
- You value experiences over material things
- You’re a little quirky, a little adventurous, and totally unapologetic about it.
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 refer to your dog as your furbaby, furchild, biological daughter/son, etc.
- You don't want to follow a bunch of traditions that don’t actually mean anything to you.
- You want a photographer who hypes you up, makes dad jokes, keeps things chill, quotes South Park, and ALWAYS carries snacks and/or dog treats
I’m a local Colorado elopement photographer, Ouray enthusiast, 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!
Just your average mountain-hiking, adventure-seeking Ouray elopement photographer.
"We had the most amazing experience in Ouray with Lauren and received such a gorgeous gallery! Lauren is so talented, kind, and made the adventure so fun! Would definitely recommend!"
- Camry & Jadyn
Epic photos are just part of the deal.
Because there's a whole lot more to your elopement than showing up and smiling for the camera.
So, what do you get when we work together?
Your photos should tell YOUR story, not look like everyone else's. That's why I take the time to get to know you two, so I can capture the real laughs, little quirks, and everything that makes your relationship unique.
Photos that capture the real YOU.
From permits and timelines to vendor recommendations and all those random questions along the way, you've got someone in your corner to help make it all happen and cheer you on the entire way.
Planning help AND your own hype woman.
You'll get personalized recommendations from someone who actually gets out there and scouts them, so you don't have to endlessly search the internet. Whether you're looking for epic mountain overlooks, low-key hidden gems, gorgeous dog-friendly spots, or the best breweries; I've got a list!
Incredible location recommendations.
- Travel fees within Colorado
- Sneak peek gallery within 48 hours of your elopement
- Unlimited planning assistance including scouting out locations, timeline planning, and grabbing necessary permits
- Online gallery of your high-resolution images with print shop
- Day of coordination to ensure your day runs smoothly
- An elopement guide tailored to your specific location
- A personalized care kit with your favorite snacks/drinks (and your dog’s favorite treats) and necessities for your elopement day.

"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!"

Breckenridge | Silverthorne | Dillon | Frisco | Ouray | Crested Butte | Palisade | Golden | Buena Vista | Salida | Boulder | Steamboat Springs | Nederland
