Colorado Elopement Photographer
Colorado elopements for couples who love the outdoors
You deserve an elopement day with no compromises
Give yourself permission to break traditional wedding rules and ignore what is expected of you. Plan a day that reflects your relationship, celebrates your love for adventure, and allows you to immerse yourself in nature.
We believe in prioritizing:
Quality time with the people who mean the most to you
Experiences over things
Planning a day that people will say is “so you”
We believe in avoiding:
Pressure to make everyone but yourself happy
Feeling like you have to perform or impress
Cookie cutter weddings

“Our elopement was everything I could have dreamed of and more - truly perfect. I don’t think many people can say their wedding day was flawless and free of stress, but I can, and that’s entirely thanks to Lisa and Alex.”
We’re more than just photographers.
We’ll bring your dream Colorado elopement to life and empower you to craft a day that feels just like you.

“Planning an elopement, especially as a destination wedding, can be super overwhelming, but they made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Every question was answered, every detail thoughtfully considered, and every step felt SO easy!”
How we’ll support you in elopement planning
Our Elopement Planning Portal
This is what really sets us apart from other Colorado elopement photographers!
We make elopement planning easy within your very own collaborative Planning Portal.
Our Planning Portal is a live, customizable, and collaborative document that keeps you organized and connected with us every step of the way. You’ll have access from your computer when you want to sit down and via the mobile app when you’re away from home. There’s space to talk over ideas and ask for advice, a comprehensive to-do list that breaks things down step by step, and most importantly, a custom list of locations you’ll love!
Personalized Location Ideas
We’ve explored every corner of Colorado. We’ll share ideas for beautiful and secluded elopement locations that fit your vision, your guest count, the activities you’d like you do, and your elopement season.
To-Do List
Never feel like you’re forgetting something or wonder what you should be doing next. Your to-do list will keep you on track and give you one actionable thing to do at a time so you’re never overwhelmed.
Timeline Creation
As your vision comes to life, we will begin weaving your ideas and favorite locations into a timeline. We’ll keep in mind the weather, crowds, and the light to really make your day become tangible.
Meet your Colorado elopement photographers
We’re Lisa and Alex, and when it comes to your elopement, we believe that two photographers are better than one! We’ve both lived in Colorado for our entire lives and have spent countless days exploring deep within the mountains. We can’t wait to share our favorite places with you!

“Lisa and Alex made us feel so comfortable we would even forget the camera was there. It felt like we were spending an incredible day in the mountains with old friends, celebrating our love. The whole day just felt so natural and beautiful, even when they had asked us to pose it didn't feel forced or cheesy.”
Colorado Elopement Photographer & Videographer
We offer both photography and videography to eloping couples
Hiring one team to photograph and film your elopement makes planning easier, saves you time and money, ensures a smooth elopement day, and gives you photos and videos that are cohesive.
Elopement Photography
We create a safe space so that you can feel comfortable being your true, vulnerable self in front of our cameras. When you receive your elopement gallery from us, your photos will feel like you and not someone you were asked to be.
Elopement Videography
Videography can transport you back into that exact moment, reminding you of the way it looked, sounded, and felt to be there. We create elopement films that are romantic, emotional, and story-driven.
★★★★★
“Lisa and Alex brought such a calm and inviting energy. It really felt like we were on the trail with some old friends! It was a day full of laughter, beautiful views, love, and (most importantly) FUN! They truly helped us curate and capture the best day ever!”
Dog-Friendly Elopements
If it was up to us, your dog would always invited to your elopement. And if you’re planning on bringing your dog, there are many beautiful places in Colorado that are dog-friendly!
Elopement Astrophotography
When was the last time you saw the Milky Way? Many of our couples rarely (if ever) get to venture deep enough in the wilderness to see the Milky Way with their own eyes. Your elopement day is the perfect time to slow down and end the day stargazing!
Feeling a little bit nervous about being in front of the camera?
We have a little secret to tell you. Just about every couple we’ve ever worked with has told us that they’re awkward in front of the camera, and this couldn’t be further from the truth!
Our job is to make you feel comfortable in front of our cameras, or even better yet, forget that they exist altogether! We will be there with you the entire day, giving you guidance and reassurance, and making sure you are having the best day ever.
★★★★★
“My husband and I are two goofballs who are usually pretty awkward in front of cameras, but Lisa and Alex somehow managed to make our pictures look effortless and beautiful. They authentically captured us, our relationship, and all of the happiness from that day.”
Check Out Some Colorado Elopements
What to expect when you choose Vow of the Wild as your Colorado elopement photographer
1. Contact Us
Once you’ve had a chance to check out our elopement packages, send us a message through our contact form. We geek out every time a couple spends the time to write a few paragraphs in their inquiry talking about the great stories of their relationship and what their dream elopement is!
2. Get To Know Each Other
You wouldn’t invite a stranger to your elopement, so why would you want your photography and videography team to feel like strangers? We’ll kick off the relationship with a commitment-free video call! That’s where you can ask us as many questions as you want and we’ll start brainstorming ideas for your elopement together!
3. Jump Into Planning
As soon as the booking process is complete, we’ll create your Planning Portal. And from there, we’ll walk through the entire elopement planning process together. Your first step is to plan a date night to dream big about your elopement and we’ll use this to guide us through the entire process.
4. Choose Your Elopement Locations
We’ll put together a list of locations that fit your vision for the day. So whether you’re looking for mountaintop views, wildflower meadows, waterfalls, or golden aspen groves, we’ve got you covered. You’ll browse these options at your own pace and decide what is right for you.
5. Elope!
The day we've all been waiting for! On your elopement day, the only thing you have to do is let go of your worries and fully immerse yourselves in each other, your guests (if you have any), your adventure, and the beautiful landscape. In addition to capturing your elopement, we’ll help by keeping things organized, upbeat, and on track!
6. Delivery Day
You’ll be excited to see some photos at the end of your elopement, and so will we! That’s why we’ll send you a sneak peek right away, usually less than 48 hours after your elopement. Then, once all your photos and films are complete (and we’ve cried our eyes out editing them), we will send them to you (so you can cry, too). Having them in an online gallery makes it super easy for you to download, share, print, and keep them forever!

★★★★★
“They’re both so genuine and it’s obvious that they both really love what they do. They want you to have your dream wedding day and will do anything to make sure you get it. You won’t find anyone else like them!”
