Laid-back atmosphere that lets you actually enjoy the day ✔️

A ranch wedding might just be one of Colorado’s best-kept secrets 🤍
Whether you’re planning a wedding, elopement, or intimate celebration, ranch venues offer the perfect mix of beautiful scenery and space to make the day your own.
Bonus: They photograph pretty dang well too ✨

Daisy approved this one 🐾🏔️
This is one of the many beautiful Colorado elopement spots we scout for our couples, and it’s even better in person.

Tucked into the mountains with the sound of water running through, this is the kind of place you can hike to for a Colorado elopement that feels quiet, intentional, and completely your own.

And yes… this one is dog-friendly too 🐾
Would you say your vows here? 👀

Imagine saying your vows here… just you, your person, and the mountains at sunrise 🌄

This is the Maroon Bells in Aspen, and it’s easily one of the most iconic spots for a Colorado elopement.

As a Colorado elopement photographer, I help couples plan days like this from start to finish—finding locations, building timelines, and creating a day that actually feels like you.

If you’ve been dreaming about a Colorado elopement, this might be your sign 👀

If you’ve been thinking about eloping in Colorado, this is for you.

I was recently interviewed about what I do and what makes eloping in Colorado with me as your photographer so different. And honestly, it comes down to this: your day gets to feel like yours.

You get the space to slow down, take it all in, and actually experience the beauty of eloping in Colorado together.

I’m there for more than just photos. I help you plan, guide, and shape a day that feels intentional from start to finish.

And if you made it to the end of the video…you get to meet the real star of my business 🐾

What if you skipped the venue & said your vows next to a waterfall instead?

If you’re looking for unique Colorado elopement spots, I’ve got you covered.
Waterfalls are one of the most underrated spots for a Colorado mountain elopement, especially if you want a ceremony location that feels immersive, scenic, and a little off the beaten path.
From tucked-away trails to alpine falls, Colorado has SO many amazing elopement locations, especially in the mountains

Would you choose a waterfall for your elopement? 👇

You don’t need to hike a mountain or plan something elaborate to have a meaningful Colorado elopement 🤍

Karen & Patrick kept their day simple with a courthouse elopement, donuts and Coca-Cola at their Airbnb, a first dance, and quiet vows at a nearby park.
No pressure. No packed timeline. No expectations.
Just a day that felt like them.

This is your reminder that your wedding doesn’t have to be big to be unforgettable. A simple, intimate elopement can be just as emotional, just as beautiful, and meaningful.
If you’re dreaming of a Colorado elopement that feels relaxed, intentional, and true to you, I’d love to help you plan it 💛

When you’re asked to go to Villa Grove, Colorado to shoot at Steel Horse Inn, you say HECK YES!
This colorful wedding was one of my all-time favorites to photograph. I mean LOOK at those mountains! E + A decided to elope and bring their family & friends along for an adventure. Their ceremony was filled with love, color and a unique unity plant!

Ready to ditch the big wedding for an intimate adventure? DM me to start crafting your dream elopement! 🌟

Changing my trade name was a HUGE decision! ✨

I wanted something that still used my initials (L.E.P.), something that emanated my new photography goals and something uniquely mine. Lasting Embers Photography seemed to fit all those ideas.

As I switch my focus to intimate weddings & elopements, I want to say I am so grateful for all the experiences that shooting large weddings has brought to me - I would never have started being a professional photographer if I hadn’t started shooting large weddings in the first place. I am shifting my focus to better suit my passions for storytelling and adventure. This doesn’t mean I won’t be shooting the occasional wedding here or there, or capturing a proposal moment in the mountains!

I am excited about this new chapter for my business and stoked to share it with you all.

Are you planning an elopement in Colorado in 2026 & looking for a fun, quirky and adventurous photographer? Send me a DM - I would LOVE to hear more!

Well everyone, here is the big news!! I’m officially pivoting my focus toward elopements and intimate weddings, and honestly… it just feels right. I also chose a new name that better reflects my vision: Lasting Embers Photography This new name represents everything I love most — adventure, connection, and stories that glow long after the moment has passed. I love the outdoors, chasing light in wild places, and creating space for couples to truly be themselves.

Elopements allow me to adventure alongside my couples, build genuine relationships, and capture love in a way that feels honest, fun, and deeply personal. I live for the quieter moments, the big laughs and the real connection.

Whether it’s vows on a mountaintop, a beach at sunset, or somewhere completely off the beaten path, I’m here for the couples who want their day to feel like an experience full of meaning and joy; fueled by adventure and lit by connection. I want your day should feel easy, joyful, and completely you.

Here’s to new chapters, glowing moments, and love that burns bright. 🔥✨
