Boulder, Colorado Elopement
We met up at the trailhead at 4 am and hiked under the stars to a secluded alpine lake outside of Boulder. They got changed in the woods for their epic first look at sunrise. Matt even brought out his army uniform, which had a throwback look to the World War II. It was impressive and went great with Brianna’s dress and backdrop! They then shared some private vows before we all stuffed our faces with cheese and champagne together!
We then hiked back down and headed to Boulder, Colorado where they got freshened up and prepared for their sunset ceremony at Sunrise Amphitheater right outside of Boulder. But first: Brianna shared a private first look with her father, and it was definitely a highlight of the day. What a special moment!
We then headed up to Sunrise Amphitheater for the last ceremony of the day, where Brianna’s sister officiated. It was super low key and a perfect way to cap off a day full of adventure. You really can’t write up a better script. Brianna and Matt went all out on vendors and really embraced the fact that there are no rules for how your elopement should look. Just pick out the elements you want to include the most and make it happen!
Your Elopement Photographer, Location Scout & Full-Service Planner
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.
My Story
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.
