About Sean Oblizalo
This is my office, seriously.
Some people hike for fun. I do it for work.
I carry my camera to places most people need a rescue for. I started my career as a landscape photographer, working with large adventure brands to bring visuals of epic mountain scenes to their advertising. I fell in love with landscapes first, and then I fell in love with helping couples plan their perfect day.
I’m with you on this wild adventure from narrowing down locations, guiding your day with a customized timeline (while always following LNT Ethics), and tackling logistics. I won’t just be an adventure buddy, but a full-blown ninja for everything you need!

“Can we have more than five stars!? From the first message and then the phone call with Sean, we felt totally comfortable. He made sure we went into our elopement completely educated and prepared. We are not Colorado natives so we had lots of questions! Sean’s talent and intoxicating energy are unmatched. No questions asked, hands down, we couldn’t ever recommend anyone other than Sean”

Here’s what your getting
I’ve been doing this since 2018. 450+ elopements deep. I know Colorado the way most people know their neighborhood.
I’m not showing up with a Pinterest board and a prayer. I’ve swam these lakes, summited these peaks, and seen these mountains in every season and every storm. You’re not getting someone learning on the job. You’re getting a guide who’s done this hundreds of times.
“Sean made the day so special – he wasn’t just there to capture our moments but to help us through the day. He provided us a safe place to be us and have a blast on our first day being MARRIED! When he says he is an elopement ninja, he is not joking y’all! This man was hoping from rock to rock, on the edge of a lake, in order to capture the perfect photos!”
Ready to full send? Here’s how!
If you’re still deciding between a venue wedding and eloping, this probably isn’t the right fit. But if you’ve already decided you’re ready for an adventure and you just need someone who knows every permit, trailhead, and top spot in Colorado, good that’s exactly what I do!

“To show how personalized our elopement day was, here’s a quick story: While driving between locations, my wife’s dress zipper broke. We thought it might be unfixable, but Sean calmly stepped in—carefully cut into the dress, fixed the issue, and saved the day. It was an incredible act of patience and care.”
