This marks the beginning of the next chapter in your story; it should start precisely how you both want it to! The big wedding industry can be overwhelming, to say the least. It is structured to keep you from breaking the traditional norms and makes it hard to step outside the box. Once you’re engaged, the initial pressures include inviting over 100+ guests, selecting your wedding party, fixating on details like napkin colors and dinner menus, booking a DJ to keep your guests entertained throughout the night and basing your decisions on how everyone else is going to have a great time. When it’s all over, you realize you invested so much time planning and stressing yourselves out, only to finish your big day realizing you barely had a chance to truly enjoy it.

I understand that relationships are a continuous journey, requiring dedication, commitment, trust, and willingness. I recognize the ups and downs, the laughter and the tears, and I’m here to capture it all. Elopements and intimate weddings reflect the essence of marriage way more than a traditional wedding could. They require collaborative planning, navigating through challenges together, and stepping away from the world’s hustle and bustle to connect with something more significant. You don’t have to tackle it all alone, and that’s where I come in as more than just your photographer.
Remember, I’m not just a Colorado elopement photographer. I’m here to assist with every aspect of your elopement, from tying your tie, to keeping you hydrated. Most importantly, I’ll be right there with you, documenting your journey honestly, authentically, and freely.

Kind words
Elijah was absolutely amazing from the start. As a photographer myself, I spent hours looking through many photographers' work and decided to reach out to Elijah. I voiced my concerns, and he listened to all of them- stating, “I’m here for you and your husband on your big day,” He helped plan, and I bounced ideas off him. He was excited when I sent him photos of my dress, the rings, little details, and always a phone call or FaceTime away.
I don’t think 5 stars is enough to explain how valuable Eli was to our elopement. He actually listened to us; however insane we may have sounded, he just let us run as he facilitated our whims and desires. He really is your planner, photographer and friend throughout the whole thing. He makes the day about you, and he nails it! Somehow, he’s always chipper, too! Eli is the Swiss Army knife of elopement photographer and planner. Highly recommend. He’s a breath of fresh air, and his photography style is fire

Moreover, Eli’s great people skills made our experience even more enjoyable, as he effortlessly connected with us and made us feel comfortable throughout the session. Trust Eli to bring your love story to life through his lens—you won’t be disappointed!

We pulled him in every direction possible with many ideas that didn’t end up going through (probably for the better), and he was so kind and patient with us. He gave us a lot of good ideas, but it never felt like a pressure to do what he was suggesting. He was constantly reminding us that he was there for us, and it was our day to celebrate - that it doesn’t matter what other people think. We are truly so honored and blessed to have had him as our photographer and wedding planner. He was one of our biggest hype men and a huge relief to have on our side.
Elijah is everything I could have dreamed of in a wedding photographer - and more. as a person is the exact positive yet calm, encouraging, organized energy you want on your wedding day. He never added any stress, went out of his way to help with little things to ease my stress, and was a great member of our group. He was extremely professional, funny & easy to get along with. He got all of the photos I wanted, gave gentle suggestions and never pushed to do any photos that we weren’t interested in.
You don't have to plan your elopement alone, but here are some resources to get you started!

No more courthouse quickies! Full-day and Multi-day elopements are the beginning of a new era in the wedding industry for the better.
The meaning of elopement has changed drastically over the past decade. The word ‘elopement’ is often associated with terms such as ‘secret’, ‘running away’, and ‘quick courthouse weddings.’ So, what does it mean to elope? Eloping is more than just getting married in beautiful landscapes. In the world of adventure elopements and intimate weddings, your wedding doesn’t need to conform to expectations. When you choose to have an elopement or intimate wedding, you’re consciously choosing to prioritize the intentional experience of crafting your day according to your heart’s desires. You do this so you don’t look back on your wedding day each year and say,” I wish we did this instead” (Matt and I know how this feels).
