How to Elope
Resources for Planning your Elopement
Hello, we’re Lisa + Alex!
If we’re not in our office editing photos or elopement planning with our couples, you can find us exploring in the Colorado mountains with our dog, and capturing incredible elopements all across the country!
There is truly an art to crafting an elopement day that feels as momentous as it should. The kind of day that really allows you to take in the moment, the landscape, and feel emotionally overwhelmed in all the best ways. And that’s what we provide to our couples! The guidance to plan their dream elopement in an organized and straightforward way!
We’ve gathered all of the resources you need to get started on this page, from how to pick your wedding attire to location ideas in Colorado. And for the couples whose weddings we document, we even have an entire planning portal to organize and streamline further! We would love to join you on your elopement adventure!
But first… What is an elopement?
There is a common misconception that elopements are planned on a whim, that no one is allowed to celebrate with the couple, or that they must be done in secret. But we’re here to tell you to let go of all of your preconceived notions about eloping!
To us, eloping is not being afraid to break some (or all) of the traditional wedding rules. To us, it means choosing to include only the things you want and getting rid of the rest. It means ditching the big, indoor venue and choosing a location that celebrates the outdoors. It means making decisions based on what you want, and not what others expect of you. It’s choosing to spend the day just the two of you. Or it’s choosing to bring along a small number of people who have been pivotal in your lives together. Your options are endless, there is no cookie-cutter elopement day. And that’s the fun of it! And we’re here every step of the way to help your unique elopement vision come to life!
