Your love story,
your unique way
The endless possibilities excite the heck out of you, and the stress of planning a traditional wedding melts away. You are stoked about the idea of spending your special day with your favorite person in an amazing location.
But here’s the thing, you still need to plan your elopement day!
So, what’s next?
There are a lot of details to think about when planning your elopement. You might be thinking “I have no idea where to even begin.”
Congratulations on choosing to elope and abandoning convention! It takes a lot of courage to make this decision, and you should be thrilled you did.
You and your partner are doing what fits you, and that is something to applaud. Embarking on your adventure in a way that is truly your own marks the first step toward a wonderful life side by side.
Does waking up to catch the most breathtaking sunrise excite you? Do you want to include your dog in your special day? Do you want to bop around a mountain town while sipping some craft coffee and/or beer?
it's time to plan your day, your way
“From the very beginning, she was professional, fun, and incredibly easy to work with. She instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the photos — they feel so natural and full of genuine emotion.
Lauren has an incredible eye for both nature and inner-city shots, and she handled some tricky lighting situations perfectly. Our photos are true to color, beautifully composed, and full of life. She’s fantastic at capturing those candid, in-the-moment shots, but also gave great direction whenever we needed a little guidance.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for stunning, authentic photography and a wonderful overall experience!”
“Lauren was an absolute dream to work with.”
Real Words
There is something special and timeless about black & white photos, don't you think?
I will duplicate and edit a select number of photos in black & white. This means timeless keepsakes to hang up in your home or share with loved ones.
Something tangible you get to take home the DAY OF your elopement! I want you to have something to take with you to remember the day.
Polaroids will always have a special place in my heart (and hopefully on your fridge).
So you just finished eloping and want to relive every moment immediately. Not to worry! Sneak peeks will be in your inbox within 48 hours from when you say "I do", allowing you to share your amazing moments with your loved ones as soon as possible!
elopement packages
Perfect for couples who want to keep things simple, spontaneous, and full of heart.
Four hours gives us plenty of time to slow down, explore one stunning location, and let the day unfold naturally. We can hike to a jaw-dropping overlook, exchange vows somewhere quiet, wander and laugh, pop champagne, and soak it all in without feeling rushed.
This package is all about presence over pressure with just enough time for a meaningful ceremony, an adventure, and space to actually enjoy being married.
This is for couples who don’t want to choose between moments, and want the space to let the day unfold naturally from start to finish.
Eight hours opens the door to a full-on elopement experience. We can chase the light, explore multiple locations, schedule in downtime, and turn your day into an unforgettable journey. Think: getting ready together, a mountaintop ceremony, coffee stops, hiking boots, outfit changes, a second adventure, golden hour, and maybe even stargazing.
Ideal for couples who want the whole story, from sunrise to sunset magic. Those who want the freedom to do more, see more, and feel it all, without watching the clock.
For couples who don’t want their elopement to feel like a single moment, but a whole chapter.
With twelve hours and the option to split across two days, there’s room to breathe, wander, and truly settle into the experience. This package lets you slow things down and stretch the adventure out. It’s perfect for couples who want the best light and the best experiences: maybe sunrise one day and sunset the next. More time means more freedom—more locations, more outfit changes, more spontaneous stops, and more moments that feel natural instead of planned.
This is about giving your elopement room to breathe, whether that means one epic day or an adventure that stretches across two, so nothing feels rushed and every part of the story gets the attention it deserves.
First, submit a contact form & book a consultation call. I will then send over a location and elopement guide!
A signed contract and retainer payment reserves your elopement date
We can grab coffee, beer, or food and plan out the perfect day of adventure. If you are busy or out of state, we can chat via Zoom. When you book with me, you will be able to send me unlimited emails with questions, ideas and literally anything that pops into your head!
We have the best day ever and you get the best photos ever!
Sneak peeks land in your inbox within 48 hours with the gallery to follow later.
If you ordered an heirloom, we will be in touch about the delivery date.
Yes, you can! Keep in mind that a higher guest count will make logistics more difficult and will limit your location options. As long as the location allows, we can plan for and accommodate up to 15 of your chosen people.
ABSOLUTELY! Most locations allow your fur-child to be part of your elopement day. I LOVE dogs and would be thrilled to include your pup in the planning process. Just let me know and we can pick the right location (and so I can bring their favorite treats)!
Definitely! I have a deep passion for photography & travel, and that passion knows no boundaries. I'm more than willing to travel to capture your love story, whether it's somewhere in the Colorado mountains, a tropical paradise, or a distant destination that holds a special place in your heart. Travel fees within Colorado are already included & there is an additional travel fee beyond that!
Travel fees within Colorado are built into my pricing. There is an additional fee for destinations outside of Colorado.
Every scenario is different and it depends on the location, the activities we do, and the hours booked. Typically, you can expect around 40 edited images per hour of photography!
My primary focus is on elopement & intimate weddings, but I do offer limited adventure engagement and surprise proposals sessions. My passion lies in capturing the love stories of couples and creating beautiful, lasting memories for them. If you are planning to propose or want to get lost in the mountains for your save-the-dates, feel free to reach out!
To secure your date and ensure I can provide you with the best service, I recommend booking as early as possible. Some couples book me up to a year or more in advance, especially for popular wedding dates during peak seasons, so make sure you reach out early to lock in your date!
No need to worry! Not only will I provide you with a location-specific packing list so you can be prepared for any weather scenario, but we will also brainstorm 1-2 backup plans for your elopement during our planning process. Just like the Boy Scouts, I am always prepared!
