You have a love and sense of adventure too big for a ballroom or a rushed timeline. You're chasing something bigger—something wild and free, something you can feel in your soul, in the places that make you come alive.
Picture this: just the two of you, side by side, wind in your hair, mountains stretching for miles. Fully present, fully connected, creating a day that's lived, not just photographed.
This is the kind of wedding you’ve been dreaming of, and you’re in the right place to make it happen.
Colorado based Elopement Photographer, Planner & Officiant.
For adventurous & Bitchin' couples who want to elope to the beat of their own heart.
You know you want to elope, but what you’ve seen so far? Not it.
You’re an explorer at heart. You’ve never settled for cookie-cutter experiences, so why would your wedding day be any different?
At the end of the day, You want to actually enjoy your damn wedding day—not waste it stressing over timelines, logistics, and last-minute chaos.
→ You’ve seen elopements that feel too short, too simple, too rushed. That’s not you. You want something immersive—an experience, not just a quick exchange of vows and a few photos before heading home.
→ You value adventure, but you don’t want to spend your wedding day on a grueling 10+ mile hike or doing something just because it looks good on Instagram. You want it to feel like you — intentional, exciting, and deeply meaningful.
→ You want to include your closest friends and family, but you also need time just for the two of you. That balance feels tricky, and you’re not sure how to make it all work.
→ You’re a planner by nature. You’ve put together trips before, but planning an elopement? Whole different ball game. You don’t even know where to start.
I’m not just your photographer—I’m your guide, planner, and adventure partner. I help you cut through the noise, ditch the stress, and craft a wedding day that actually feels like you.
From finding epic, off-the-beaten-path locations to making sure you have everything you need for an unforgettable experience—I’ve got you.
I’ll help you navigate permits, timelines, and logistics so you don’t have to spend hours lost in research (or worse—show up to a spot only to find it overcrowded or closed). You’ll get expert recommendations for vendors who actually get elopements—like a private chef for a mountaintop dinner or a boutique stay that feels like home.
But beyond the logistics, I’m here to make sure your day isn’t just planned—it’s felt. The little in-between moments? The unfiltered emotions? That deep, this-is-our-life kind of joy? That’s the good shit.
Your elopement isn’t about following trends or checking boxes. It’s about crafting an experience that makes you feel alive.
That’s where I come in.
Hi, I'm Eli.

You don’t have to settle for an elopement that doesn’t feel right.
→ Imagine waking up slowly, sipping coffee together with no pressure to race the clock. The day unfolds naturally, with time to breathe, soak in the moments, and actually experience your elopement day—not just rush through it.
→ Your elopement feels effortless, exciting, and just the right amount of adventurous. Maybe you’re off-roading to a secluded alpine lake, exchanging vows under golden aspens, or stargazing by a campfire—whatever adventure means to you, it’s there, without the exhaustion of an all-day hike or unnecessary pressure to be extreme.
→ Picture this: your closest friends and family are there for the parts that matter most – laughing, celebrating, cheering you on. But then, there’s a moment where it’s just the two of you, somewhere private, somewhere quiet, exchanging the most important words of your lives with no one else around. You don’t have to choose between intimacy and community – you can have both.
→ Instead of feeling lost in research, I guide you in finding the perfect location, the best time of year to go, and exactly what’s ahead. There’s no second-guessing—just excitement. You wake up on your elopement day feeling prepared, confident, and free to enjoy every moment, because all the details have already perfectly fallen into place.
The truth is, your elopement isn’t just a ceremony—it’s the start of your next big adventure together. A day where you feel alive, connected, and fully present in the moment.
And when you look back, you won’t just remember what it looked like—you’ll remember what it felt like.
It isn’t that you don’t care about your wedding day, it means that you care even more. It’s not that you don’t want to invest the money or enjoy the details; it’s because you want to do it on your terms.

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).
