Colorado Elopement Videographer
It may surprise you to hear that way back in the beginning of Vow of the Wild, we were solely videographers. And as our business, our dreams, and our love for elopements grew, we became photographers as well. Fast forward to now, a majority of our couples choose us for both videography and photography on their elopement day, and we love being able to capture elopements in both mediums.
Elopement films that celebrate your love in the mountains
It may surprise you to hear that way back in the beginning of Vow of the Wild, we were solely videographers. And as our business, our dreams, and our love for elopements grew, we became photographers as well. Fast forward to now, a majority of our couples choose us for both videography and photography on their elopement day, and we love being able to capture elopements in both mediums.
We’re Lisa + Alex
We are a husband and wife elopement photography and videography team based in Colorado.
As two people who eloped ourselves almost ten years ago, we still watch our elopement film on every anniversary. We’ve been asked many time if having an elopement film in addition to elopement photos is worth it. And after all these years of watching our own film, and even more years of crafting elopement films for couples, we can unequivocally say that it is.
Videography has a way of transporting you back into that exact moment, reminding you of the way it looked, sounded, and felt to be in that place.
Why you need an elopement videographer
-
Capturing our couples’ vows is our favorite part about being elopement videographers. It’s so valuable to be able to listen back to your vows after your wedding day and hear not only the promises, but also the tone and emotion of the moment. The moments your partner struggles to finish their sentence without tearing up, or the moments you make your partner laugh with a funny story.
If you are inviting guests to your elopement, we will capture the words spoken by your best friend while they officiate the ceremony, and your dad’s speech before dinner and seamlessly incorporate them into your film.
-
Your photos will do an amazing job of capturing single snippets of time, but video will show you the entire moment. The way the dress blows in the wind, you wiping a tear as it travels down your cheek, your partner reaching for your hand. The result is a captivating blend of sights and sounds that sparks nostalgia and emotion long after the day has passed. These are all moments that are so much more powerful captured in video than in photo alone.
-
If you’re choosing to elope, there are likely important people in your lives who are not able to be there. And just because you are choosing to elope, it doesn’t mean you don’t want to share your experience with these people. Having an elopement video allows you to show your friends and family exactly what it felt like to be there.
-
Your photos will allow you to quickly flip through the best moments of your day. Depending on how much time you have, you may see the prints hanging on your walls, flip through your wedding album on your coffee table, see a favorite photo as your phone background when you’re checking the time, or scroll through files on your computer.
But a video demands your attention and immerses you right back into your elopement day. It gives you an excuse to sit down with your partner, reconnect, and look back on one of the best days of your lives together so far.
-
Okay, we’ll admit that this one is a little bit vain. But you’re probably eloping in the mountains of Colorado because it’s beautiful. We like to think of your location as a supporting character in your elopement day, and drone footage in our elopement videos truly allows us to showcase the landscape that inspires you.
The benefits of hiring a team that does both elopement photography and videography
-
The photos and films you receive will feel like they belong together. From the visual edit, to the storytelling, to the mood. For most of the day, we will both switch seamlessly between mediums, so your photos and videos will have each of our unique perspectives of Alex’s wide landscapes and Lisa’s close-up and personal moments.
-
You won’t have to spend the time researching and hire two separate teams for your photography and videography. You won’t need to question whether your timeline works for both teams, and you won’t have any conflicting opinions.
-
After capturing almost 300 elopements together, we can anticipate what the other needs. You won’t have to worry about either team taking too much control or worry about whether everyone is getting the photos or video they need, because we are used to working together.
-
Adding videography to your elopement package can save you thousands of dollars compared to hiring a separate, high quality videography team.
Our Elopement Films
We offer two different elopement films to couples. The Highlight Film is the longer, more emotional edit and the Trailer Films is the shorter, high-energy edit. We say that Highlight Films will gain in value as the years pass and Trailer Films are exciting to share right now on social media.
You can add just a Trailer Film to your elopement photography package, or if you choose to add a Highlight, you get a complimentary Trailer Film delivered as a sneak peek.
Highlight Films
When you watch your elopement Highlight Film, it’ll take you right back to your emotions in that moment, whether it’s on your first anniversary or decades from now. These films are driven by music and the audio that we capture on your elopement day. Highlight Films range in length from 3-6 minutes depending on your hours of coverage.
★★★★★
“One of the biggest reasons we chose Lisa and Alex was their highlight films — the way they tell the story of the day, weaving in vows and small moments so family and friends can feel like they were right there with you. They caught all the big emotions and all the tiny in-between moments that made our day special.”
Trailer Films
Trailer Films are perfect for sharing online and giving you a unique and fast-paced look into your elopement adventures. If you also have a Highlight Film, your Trailer Film will be delivered first, so it will give you a sneak peek into what we captured. Trailer Films are about one minute in length.

Elopement Videography FAQ
-
One of the most common post-wedding regrets couples report having is not getting a videographer.
But’s really up to you! We’re biased, but we do think that there’s just something really special about not only seeing your elopement in motion but even more importantly, being able to hear it again. Reliving your vows just isn’t possible in the same way without it.
Our elopement photos are hung up all across the walls of our home, but our elopement video is the thing we watch back on every anniversary, and we can’t wait to share it with future generations of our family.
-
About 60% of our couples opt to hire us for photography and videography, and we love being able to capture our couples’ stories in two distinct mediums.
There are a few benefits of hiring a team for your photography and videography:
Your photos and video will look and feel cohesive.
A single photo + video team is accustomed to working together and able to seamlessly switch between mediums throughout the day. This allows you to focus your attention on your wedding day and not worry about making sure two separate teams are getting what they need.
Coordination during the planning process is simple.
Bundling photo + video together can often save you money on your package!
-
Yes! Drone coverage is included in all of our elopement videography packages and we will use it when we are able. We love to use drone footage in our films to offer a different perspective and to further illustrate how beautiful the Colorado mountains are. Alex has his FAA Part 107 license, meaning that he is a licensed drone pilot.
It is important to note that some locations do not allow drone use, and drones cannot be flown in high winds, rain, or snow.
