About Sean Oblizalo
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!
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 elopement photographer who’s done this hundreds of times.
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!
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!
