The little town of Ridgway, Colorado is nestled right at the base of some of the best mountains in the San Juan Range. I feel it is one of the most underrated areas in Colorado to elope. With a population of around 1,200, Ridgway is not a large town & when you actually visit it…
When we first started talking about their day, Delana & Bubba told me about their ideas of a private elopement ceremony with a wedding reception at Gold Mountain Ranch in Ouray. This is such a perfect way to do something you want with just the two of you for your wedding day, while still including…
Traci & Bill are good friends of mine who are also elopement photographers. In this line of work, we honestly live a kind of weird life.

Colorado has no shortage of waterfalls, alpine lakes, hot springs, & other…
All I can say about Jackson & Sydney is that they were just FUN! My goal is always to capture couples for who they really are. Having a smaller wedding (like their Grand Lake, Colorado wedding) instead of a larger wedding can give you so much more time & flexibility to relax & get the…
