Blue Orchid Photography + Videography You weren’t made for the cookie-cutter version of a wedding day. I specialize in bold, cinematic elopements for couples who value presence over perfection.

You want real moments — the wind in your hair, dirt on your dress, the kind of photos you can feel.

After visiting Iceland many times in the last couple years I have found it to be one of the most magical places to elope, meet the people and get to know their culture.

I've been fortunate enough to contribute to this country by visiting mom and pop shops, indulging in great food, hearing many stories that go way back in history. Witnessing one of Icelands greatest traditions every year.

The landcape and beauty go way beyond its nature. Iceland isn’t just a place you visit, its a place your journey can begin. Eloping here in Iceland will be the best memory you'll experience and I specialize in helping my couples plan their day from start to finish.
This can't be told it has to be felt.

You have already made the decision to elope in Colorado.

Let me guide you in having the best experience possible and create a space you remember.

Rocky Mountain National Park is Overated. Instead... You should elope in Ward Colorado. Just outside of Boulder.

Some couples spend a year planning a wedding day that looks the way everyone expects it to.

The venue.
The seating chart.
The timeline packed with traditions.

And for some people, that feels perfect.

But for other couples… it doesn’t.

They start imagining something different.

Standing on a black sand beach instead of walking down an aisle. Saying their vows beside a waterfall instead of inside a ballroom. Spending their wedding day exploring somewhere wild instead of rushing from moment to moment.

That’s what an Iceland elopement feels like.
It’s not about running away or doing something impulsive.

It’s about choosing an experience that actually reflects who you are together.

The wind in your hair.
The sound of the ocean crashing against the cliffs.
The quiet moment before you say your vows when the entire world feels still.

Those are the moments couples remember forever.
But planning an elopement somewhere like Iceland can feel overwhelming at first.

The weather changes constantly.
The best locations aren’t always obvious.
And creating a timeline that allows you to truly experience the day takes intention.

That’s where I come in.

When couples work with me, I’m not just documenting their day.

I help guide the entire experience.

Finding incredible locations.
Building a timeline around the light and weather.
Helping you feel relaxed and present so your photos reflect the real connection between you.

Because at the end of the day, the photos matter.

But the experience matters even more.

Your wedding doesn’t have to follow a script.

It can be an adventure.

And if Iceland has been sitting in the back of your mind as a dream location…

maybe this is your sign to start planning it.

Save this post for later

or send it to the person you’d marry here.

Some couples don’t want a ballroom.

They don’t want a timeline that runs every minute of the day.

They want something quieter.
Something real.
Something that actually feels like them.

This wedding happened at a cozy Airbnb tucked in the forest with just 30 of their favorite people. No pressure. No production. Just the people who mattered most.

They toasted champagne on a wooded path.
They laughed together on ceremony benches after everyone left.

They danced in the trees while the sun dipped behind the mountains.

And the best part?

They had time to actually feel their wedding day.
That’s what so many couples are craving when they choose an intimate wedding or elopement.

Not less of a wedding.
Just more of what matters.

✨ Time together without a packed timeline
✨ Space to breathe and be present
✨ A location that feels meaningful instead of traditional
✨ Moments that unfold naturally instead of being staged
✨ A day that feels like an experience, not an event

When couples work with me, it’s not just about showing up with a camera.

I help them design a day that feels intentional.

Finding locations that feel private and beautiful.
Building timelines that allow real moments to happen.
Creating space where they can laugh, wander, toast champagne, and just enjoy being newly married.

Because your wedding day shouldn’t feel like a performance.

It should feel like the best day of your life.

And sometimes the most unforgettable weddings happen in the quietest places.

In the woods.
With the people you love.
Exactly the way you imagined it.

If you’re dreaming about an intimate wedding or elopement that feels more like an experience than an event, send me a message. I’d love to help you create something unforgettable. 🌲✨

Most couples who reach out to me say the same thing…

“We want something different… but we’re not exactly sure what that looks like.”

And the truth is it can look like this.

A slow morning getting ready with the people who mean the most to you.

Standing in the mountains reading vows you wrote yourselves.

Crying.
Laughing.
Holding hands a little tighter than usual.
No pressure.
No rushing from moment to moment.

Just time to actually experience your wedding day.
After their ceremony they watched the sun dip behind the mountains…

shared a private dinner overlooking the forest…
toasted with their closest family…
and danced under the string lights in the quiet of the night.

This is what an intentional wedding day can feel like.
And my role in all of it isn’t just showing up with a camera.

I help couples:

• find incredible ceremony locations
• plan a timeline that allows space to breathe
• build a day around experiences instead of expectations
• guide them through every moment so they never feel awkward in front of the camera
• and capture the real emotions that make the day unforgettable

Because your wedding day should never feel like a photoshoot.

It should feel like the best day of your life.
If you're dreaming of an elopement that feels adventurous, emotional, and completely you…
I’d be honored to help you plan and capture it.

Most people think eloping is “just running off to the mountains.”

This?
This is what it actually looks like.

We drove up winding roads outside Breckenridge as the sky started turning cotton-candy pink. The air was cool. Quiet. Just the two of them, mountains, and that kind of stillness you only get at 10,000 feet.

No timeline pressure.
No ballroom lights.
No 200 guests waiting on dinner.

Just space to breathe.

Before this moment, we had already scouted this exact overlook. I knew where the sun would drop behind the ridgeline. I knew storms were rolling in, and that Colorado would probably give us something dramatic. I always build in time for that magic because mountain light doesn’t run on a schedule.

When the clouds caught fire, they didn’t rush.

They laughed.
They held hands.
They soaked it in.

That’s what a real experience elopement is.

It’s not about “less than.”
It’s about more intention.
More adventure.
More connection.
More you.

When you elope like this, you’re not just getting photos.
You’re getting location scouting, timeline design built around light, backup weather plans, vendor recommendations, permit guidance, and someone who knows how to read a mountain sky before it turns epic.

You’re getting a day that feels like a celebration and a vacation wrapped into one.

And years from now, when you look at this photo, you won’t just see a kiss under a pretty sky.

You’ll remember how it felt standing there, just you two, on top of Colorado.

If your wedding day feels more like this than a banquet hall…

We should talk.

If you're looking for a photographer who's quite, reserved, and politely whispers "say cheese"... yeahhh, that's definitely not me.

I'm Stacy, Colorado based adventure chasing, Jeep girl, travel ju**ie, dog mom of two professional chaos gremlins, and someone who will absolutely drive 30 minutes out of my way for Chipotle because the craving hit.

But here's the thing that matters most:
I'm all about people who love big, laugh loud, and aren't afraid to be themselves. If you're laid back, adventure ready, down for a little wind in your hair chaos, and want photos that feel alive and real... we're basically already best friends.

I'm here to help you feel comfortable, hype you up like we've known each other for years, and capture the kind of moments that make you say: "Yep. That's us."

I don't pose my couples, I instruct you on the action to do and let you interpret what that truly means to you both. Then I let the magic unfold naturally so you feel at easy and have the time of your life.

So if you want a photographer who brings the energy, celebrates your weirdness, and documents your day exactly how it felt, welcome in. You're my people and I can't wait to work together.

Get in touch.
