Colorado Elopement Packages with Kick-Ass Planning Support for a Wildly Authentic Wedding Day

Ditch the Wedding Stress and Chase Sunsets Instead

This is a thoughtfully crafted elopement photography package designed to feel stress-free, meaningful, and just plain fun from beginning to end. The way your wedding day should feel!

You’ll get help with everything like finding the perfect hidden gem ceremony location in Colorado, building a custom timeline, assistance with applying for permits, vendor recommendations, and yes, even a “what the heck do we pack” list.

When it’s all over, you’ll have photos that reflect how it felt to live your favorite day ever.

Don’t know where to start?
That’s what I’m here for.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to hire me. Most couples I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin when it comes to planning an elopement or small wedding. Heck you don’t even need to have a date or a location, that’s where I come in. That’s why an all-inclusive elopement package is superior!

The “Just Show Up” Elopement Experience

You want an intentional wedding day and epic photos in the mountains, not a second full time job planning. I handle the backend logistics so your only job is to celebrate.

Here is what your wedding day could look like:

When you look back at your photos, they won’t feel staged. They’ll feel lived in.

The “Just Show Up” Wedding Day Experience

You want an intentional wedding day and epic photos in the mountains, not a second full time job planning. I handle the backend logistics so your only job is to celebrate.

Here is what your wedding day could look like:

You wake up completely relaxed.

From first look to the campfire beers, I build a custom schedule so you never feel rushed. I track the sun, the weather, and the crowds and handle the permit research and the “legal scaries” so you can spend your time fully immersed in the mountain views.

You get married in total privacy.

Thanks to my 14 years exploring the Colorado backcountry, you get exclusive access to hidden gem locations where you can actually hear your own vows.

Celebrate exactly how you want.

Plan a private hiking adventure for two, an intimate wedding with guests, or a hybrid of both. Picture saying “I do” with your family, then sneaking away for private sunset vows with a Jeep.

Everything is taken care of.

Permits? Handled. Weather backup plans? Done. From navigating the legal scaries to packing the extra headlamps and camp chairs, I do the heavy lifting so you can be completely present in the moment.

When you look back at your photos, they won’t feel staged. They’ll feel lived in.

Hello, I’m Paige! When we work together, you’re getting someone who knows the trails, brings the snacks, and makes French press coffee at the top of a mountain for you. Someone who handles the logistics and makes the whole thing feel way easier than you expected, a wedding day sidekick you didn’t know you needed.

This gets to be simple. It gets to be joyful. And I promise, it’ll feel like you.

Videography

Looking for a videographer? You’re in luck, as my husband is also my favorite videographer! Add on 4 hours of coverage to capture every angle of your adventure. Coverage starts at $1000.

Drone Photo & Video

Would you like to capture your epic wedding day from a whole new perspective? One of my favorite ways to get the epic ‘tiny human, big landscape’ images and videos. Weather & location permitting.

Multi-Day Elopements

Maybe you want to have the ‘just us’ experience then celebrate with your closest family and friends (best of both worlds). I’m up for literally any adventure you have in mind! From backpacking & camping elopements under the stars to taking an extra day for an epic adventure like a helicopter ride or a 4×4 backroad excursion. 

Custom Elopement Packages

Your wedding day is not a one size fits all, and your elopement package doesn’t have to be either! If you’re looking at the collections above and don’t feel like 4, 8 or 12 hours of coverage is what you need then let’s chat. I’ll put together a draft timeline and build you the dream elopement package.

How to Find Your Dream Colorado Elopement Spot

Choosing the right elopement location can feel overwhelming, Colorado has so many gorgeous options it’s almost too much to sort through alone. Especially if you can’t physically see the spot in person before your wedding day.

That’s why my Colorado elopement packages include full personalized location scouting.
After getting to know your vision, I’ll hand-select a list of locations that match your dream vibe.
Whether you want a place that’s jaw-dropping, super private, off-the-beaten-path (or all three) we’ll find your magic spot!

Some of the best Colorado elopement locations include:

Questions About Colorado Elopement Packages

Sometimes! I specialize strictly in small weddings and elopements with 40 guests or less. In addition, in most locations I have limitations on how many people I can bring out into the wilderness. This is in place to keep these locations pristine so they can be visited for years to come. If you plan to have more than 20 guests than I will likely recommend renting a space (which there are many affordable outdoor options for $400 or less – check out local National or State parks).

Most professional Colorado elopement packages typically range from $4,000 to over $10,000, depending on the photographer’s experience, hours of coverage, and whether planning support is included.

My all-inclusive packages start at $4,400 for intimate half-day coverage and go up to $8,400 for the ultimate multi-day adventure.

The best part? Unlike many other packages, mine include full planning support (permits, location scouting, timelines) and 100% of my travel fees. That means the price you see is the price you pay. No surprise invoices, just an epic wedding day.

Need more time? No problem! You can always add extra hours to your coverage, even on the day of your elopement. Hourly rates range from $350 to $700 depending on the collection you book. All collections begin with a 4-hour minimum.


Not sure how much time you’ll need? Start with the minimum and we’ll fine-tune the details during your timeline planning. You can always pay the difference between 2 collections! It’s not more expensive to add on time later. Elopements and small weddings are meant to be flexible. If you want to pause and soak in the view a little longer, I’m right there with you.

I guarantee a minimum of 50 images per hour that you hire me, but typically deliver a little more than that.

You’ll get sneak peek images within 24 hours of your wedding day! I send a full sneak peek of at least 30 images within a week, and the full gallery is ready within 8 weeks.

Welcome to Colorado where the forecast sometimes changes faster than we can refresh the app!
Don’t worry I always build flexible timelines and have backup options in place. Rain, snow, or sunshine, we’ll roll with it and still create an unforgettable day that feels wildly perfect. On another note I block off 2 days before and after every single elopement/wedding day day on my calendar. This is specifically so I am always 100% rested and these days can also be used for plan B days if needed.

I would highly suggest a weekday elopement in order to avoid crowds! Colorado is a very over-loved state, and the most beautiful locations like Rocky Mountain National Park are often way overcrowded. Sunrise or weekday elopements in areas like this will typically yield smaller crowds or complete seclusion.

All payments are made online. After reaching out to me and confirming we are a good fit and your date is available, I will send you a booking link that takes you to a 3 step online process to book me. First, complete your contact information and select your photography collection. Second, you both sign your photography agreement ( I will be immediately prompted to sign after you do ). Finally, you will be prompted to pay your 40% non-refundable retainer via credit card, debit card or bank transfer. Checks are not accepted.

If you’re interested in a payment plan, let me know ahead of time!

Heck yes I do! Go ahead and reach out to me and I will put together a custom elopement collection, just for you! I’m up for whatever adventure you have in mind.

Absolutely, and it’s one of the best ways to find epic, secluded spots without a long hike! Honestly it’s a personal favorite. I know many incredible 4×4 trails where we can drive straight into the wild and not see anyone.

If you’re nervous to drive, there are options available to hire a private driver to take you wherever you want to go.

Not at all! Your wedding day should match your vibe whether that’s a short, scenic trail or a challenging summit.
I’ll suggest locations based on your comfort level, how much hiking you want to do, and the kind of views you’re dreaming of. People always forget that the elevation in Colorado will greatly impact how far you’re able to hike.

Whether you want a quick 5-minute walk or a full sunrise hike, we’ll craft a day that feels just right!

Right after hiring me you will receive a link to your password protected client portal. There you can view your photography agreement, invoices, questionnaires and more. You will also receive a link to your first questionnaire – The Getting To Know You & Location Scouting Questionnaire.

Many outdoor locations in Colorado, especially national parks and protected wilderness areas do require a special use permit for elopements and intimate weddings. Yes, even just for a vow reading.

When you book with me, I help you navigate the entire permit process so you stay stress-free and legal.

I’m 100% dog-friendly and would love to include your furry best friend in your adventure! We’ll just make sure to choose a location where pups are allowed (some trails and parks have restrictions), and I’ll help you plan for all the little things like water, trail etiquette, and dog-friendly timelines.

Absolutely, you’re free to celebrate your day your way. Colorado is a 420-friendly state, and if you want to incorporate cannabis into your elopement in a chill, respectful way (like a private toast or a scenic smoke break), I’m totally supportive.

I just ask that we follow Leave No Trace principles because protecting these wild places is part of the adventure, too.
