Your Elopement Ninja!

Some People Hike For Fun. I Do It For Work.

I carry my camera to places most people need rescuing. I started my career as a landscape photographer, working with major adventure brands to bring epic mountain scenes to their advertising. I fell in love with landscapes first, then 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”

Packages Please!

Your Personal Elopement Expert.

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, planner, and Colorado elopement photographer 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!”

I Eloped Too!

I eloped with my wife in Canada with Willow and Wolf. Getting married is a big decision. But who you spend that day with matters just as much. That includes who takes your photos! You’re not hiring someone to just take pictures. You’re choosing who stands next to you on one of the best days of your life.

The experience comes first. The photos are the cherry on top. But those photos do something wild too. Years from now, they’ll catapult you right back into that moment. The nerves. The laugh you didn’t expect. The wind on that ridge. A photo can hand you the whole day again, just by looking at it!

That’s what I want for you. A real, intimate adventure that’s true to you, with someone who cares as much about the day as the photos. Epic moments deserve someone who’s lived one too!

“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.”

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!
