Best Colorado Elopement Photographer

I am a Colorado elopement photographer and videographer. I love customizing packages that are perfect for my couples. My Colorado elopement packages can include planning, videography and photography. I love to give my couples that perfect one stop shop. However, I do not offer photography for my large weddings and elopements with any guests. So I created this amazing list of photographers that I love and trust!

I team up with some of the BEST Colorado Wedding Photographers and Elopement Photographers! Right now, weddings are rapidly changing. With all the scares of COVID and finances, you might be considering eloping.

I specialize in elopements. I am a Colorado elopement photographer and videographer. I have packages for photo and video for just to two of you! Or if you are looking for a larger elopement ( under 25 guests ) or larger wedding, please check out my TOP photographer recommendations.

We do not think of elopements as ‘plan b’. Honestly, we think of elopements as one of the best decisions you will ever make. From saving thousands of dollars from removing a ton of stress, eloping might be the right choice for you. Don’t settle, elope instead!

Top Colorado Elopement Photographers

People have been eloping forever! However, recently elopements have truly begin to change. Our society often spends so much time and energy on focusing on a “real” wedding that elopements often have a bad reputation as if you are being “selfish or rebellious”. I remember when my husband and I considered eloping, we were told by family that it was NOT an option and we would have to get married “for real” after our “pretend elopement”. Unfortunately, we did not have strong enough voice to speak up for what we wanted at the time.

Eloping takes courage. It takes courage because you have to really look at your own desires and then, make an adult decision to pursue them. Oftentimes when we are first marrying, there is a part of us that still sees ourselves as a ‘child’ in our family system. When we marry, we are making a choice to ‘leave’ our family home ( even if we havent lived in our parent’s home for years) and to create our new family with your spouse. Taking the courage to ask, how will we do things differently? and how can we do things the same? are difficult, courageous questions. For a lot of my couples, it starts with the choice to elope.

When choosing to elope, it is important you have a great team of support. Choosing the right Colorado elopement photographer and videographer team makes all the difference. More than likely, you want to choose someone who specializes in elopements. They get it. But also, we have a true passion to support couples who are eloping!

There are seriously thousands of Colorado Elopement Photographers. Where do you start? Here is my list of the top Colorado photographers that specialize in elopements. If you have a smaller wedding of under 25 guests, or love adventure, these photographers might be right for you!

Alyssa Reinhold

“When my husband and I got engaged 3 years ago, we started to plan a traditional wedding back home in Michigan, and quickly realized that as much I love weddings – that wasn’t what felt true to us. Instead of planning a big wedding, we packed our hiking boots and headed to the PNW to exchange vows just the two of us, somewhere we had never been. It was after that that I found my passion for elopements and wanted to help more couples plan their dream wedding, whatever that meant for them. To me, weddings should be all about you and feel true to you – whether that means being surrounded by mountains just the two of you (and maybe your dog), or your 100 closest friends and family members. Every single day I am so grateful that something as simple as a little camera has taken me to the most beautiful places and connected me with some of the best friends and people I’ve ever met.”

“I’m Jen! I’m a dog-loving, IPA-drinking, outdoors-obsessed intimate wedding and elopement photographer. I work with couples who want to have an adventurous elopement and couples who are planning laid-back mountain weddings (while still kind of wishing they could elope)! My goal is to empower my couples to have the day of *their* dreams, make sure they have a hell of a good time while they do it, and capture all the moments along the way. I believe in my heart that the photos should tell the story of your day … not BE the story of your day. I work hard to make sure my couples truly have the best day of their lives in some of the most beautiful places on earth!”

Savannah Elopement Photographer in Colorado

Savannah Chandler

“Hey there! I’m Savannah. I’m a fifth-generation Coloradan – and super proud to live here in the Rocky Mountains. We actually have photographs of my family heading West in the 1800’s on their covered wagons. Needless to say, I think those photographs are pretty priceless. I’ve been married since 2011, and we have a precious little guy. He’s currently 5, and the strongest person we know.

I began photographing weddings in 2010 after getting my degree in Fine Art photography. I pride myself on truly getting to know my couples, and really keeping the connection with family. Whether it’s a small wedding with closer family and friends, or two souls creating a new family – I love capturing the bond between the people we chose to invite into our lives. Another bond that I focus on capturing is the environment in which couples chose to celebrate – photographing the balance between humans and nature has always fascinated me. If you couldn’t tell, I love Colorado and really try to incorporate all of this wonderful state’s majestic beauty into my photographs. Some of my most cherished moments I personally have are from other couple’s weddings – the feelings, the moments, the places we adventured to.”

Jennie Crate Photography

Hi, I’m Jennie! I’m a colorful photographer who specializes in intimate weddings for devoted and courageous couples.

And no, intimate doesn’t have to mean small 🙂

I believe that intimacy is about true connections. It’s about trust, passion, and the deep-seeded need to understand and be understood by others. I’ve photographed weddings with 150 guests that have felt just as intimate as an elopement with only a couple. I thrive in new environments with awesome people who aren’t afraid to be themselves, who think that showing emotion is a good thing, and who plan their future together with their partner. My job as your photographer is to tell the story of your day–not just what it looked like, but how it felt.

I’ve been married to my wife for 9 years and we call Colorado home, but we love to travel and explore new places together! Other fun stuff to know about me: I think life is more fun if you know how to rock a pair of purple pants, that cinnamon rolls can be eaten anytime, and that the perfect day is an afternoon spent in the mountains and an evening cuddling on the couch at home.
