TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Planning an elopement while pregnant means you’ve got to be strategic with timing. Consider the stage of your pregnancy, weather conditions at your chosen location, and any travel restrictions like flying while pregnant. Aim for a date that aligns makes it easy and as comfortable as possible. Believe it or not, winter tends to be a busy time for couples that are eloping while pregnant to get married before the baby arrives!
KEEP IT INTIMATE

Keep your guest list minimal, maybe just a few close friends or family members who can share in the joy of the moment of getting married while you’re pregnant. A small gathering ensures an intimate and personal experience that won’t be too much to handle. Colorado even let’s you self solemnize if you want to marry yourselves!
I’m Sean. I live 40 minutes from Telluride in Ridgway, I’ve photographed 450+ elopements across Colorado, and Telluride is still my favorite area in the entire state to take couples who want the real version of a mountain elopement. I don’t just photograph elopements. I plan them, scout the location myself, handle the permits, and connect you with local vendors so you don’t have to think about any of it.
I live in Colorado full time, not just for elopement season. This isn’t a weekend trip for me. I’ve spent years learning these mountains, and I use that to find you a spot nobody else would think to send you to.
I’m Sean. I moved to Colorado 14 years ago and spent the first few years just exploring every corner of the state I could find. Eight years ago I started doing elopements in Colorado and it clicked immediately.
Hundreds of couples later and I’m still going out before sunrise to find those hidden locations, fixing broken dress zippers mid elopement, and building days where couples tell me they completely forgot I was even there. That the whole thing felt natural and unscripted, like hanging out with an old friend who just happened to be capturing everything. I’ve had couples deal with weather that had no business being on their wedding day, and their friends and family still couldn’t stop raving about the photos. That’s what I’m after every single time!
This place is not a backdrop to me. It’s home. That’s the difference between hiring someone who flies in for your elopement and hiring someone who genuinely lives in the mountains you’re getting married in.
