Eloping: Yes you can.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART. YOU CAN’T GET LOST.
WHERE DOES YOUR LOVE BELONG?

Picture yourselves saying your vows. Like, really, really put yourselves there, on the first day of the rest of your lives together. What do you see?

Is there a ceiling above you, or is it a wide open sky with views from the top of the world?

Do you see skyscraping mountains, pristine alpine lakes?

These aren’t rhetorical questions. This is a matter of life and love! Sorry (not sorry) if i’m sounding a little intense, but this is IT. You found each other. You’re saying “I frickin’ do forever!” You gotta have every detail of your wedding vision realized!

Don’t fuss over the details (that’s my job). You just listen to that love of yours and hold your vision steady. I’ll find the destination and help you plan your elopement adventure.

Your Colorado Elopement Photographer

I’M KELLY- YOUR OTHER SPECIAL SOMEONE (THE ONE WITH THE CAMERA)

One of the first things on your adventure wedding or adventure elopement to-do list is to find the perfect Colorado elopement photographer. You’ve probably already scoured Instagram, Pinterest, and Google to find someone who perfectly aligns with your vision. If that vision is stunning backdrops and wilderness-infused romance, you’ve landed on the right website.

My adventure elopement photography revolves around the intersection of love and nature, but my services go far beyond just the photos. My goal is to bring your dreamiest mountain or desert elopement visions to life from start to finish. I’ll be responsible for organizing your entire elopement day, which is specifically tailored to you and your partner.

If there is any day in your entire life where you should do exactly what you want to do, it’s your wedding day. Be unapologetically authentic, take risks, and have a one-of-a-kind adventure.

As your adventure elopement photographer on your big day, it’s my job to make your wildest whims come true, help you climb higher together than you’ve ever been (literally?), and encourage you to shoot for the moon (moon elopement packages available in 2035 🌝 ).

Not matter what your outdoor elopement visions include, you’re going to need someone who knows the area and is comfortable being immersed in nature. Better yet, you’ll need someone who thrives in the wild.

You should be looking for someone who understands exactly how much this experience matters to you and has proven experience in how to make your adventure wedding dreams a reality.

Well, look no further!

I’m Kelly (your Colorado elopement photographer!), and I can’t wait to help you get hitched in the great outdoors.

GET TO KNOW ME EXPLORE THE Elopement Packages

Write your own wedding story...

And my job is to help you tell it. You already know the photography is bomb (be real, you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t love what you see), but what makes this a service worth investing in is the level that I take it. You don’t just want somebody to follow you up a mountain and snap a few photos. To achieve the adventure elopement of your dreams, you want someone who knows spots that aren’t packed with people, will lead you to that this-can’t-be-real overlook, and will give you all the tips and tricks to making your elopement photos as breathtaking as the actual experience. And that somebody is me!

As someone who was able to achieve their dream elopement themselves (that’s right, I was in your shoes back in 2016!) and has helped couples from all over Colorado and Utah do the same, I can tell you that this experience is one that you’ll never regret. You’ll never get tired of telling people your story of how you eloped in the great outdoors, and you’ll abso-fucking-lutely never get tired of showing them your elopement pictures!

So, maybe you’re imagining your story to look like this…

LET’S ELOPE!
  • A DAY CRAFTED EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU
  • ADVENTUROUS & EXCITING
  • PERSONAL AND INTIMATE AF
  • FUN AS HELL
  • STRESS-FREE AND DREAMY
  • AND EVERY MOMENT OF THIS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME, EPIC EXPERIENCE DOCUMENTED WITH PHENOMENAL PHOTOS!

YOUR LOVE. YOUR ADVENTURE. YOUR WAY, ALL THE WAY.

The Adventure Elopement Route Is For The Dream-Chasing Couples Whose Love Knows No Limits.

I'm here to help you make your elopement dreams a reality.
While you’re dreaming, i'll be planning.
I take on all the tedious tasks, so you don’t have to.

With our...

One-of-A-Kind Elopement Experiences

Each couple I work with gets their own one-of-a-kind elopement experience

Because I believe that every love story deserves to be celebrated uniquely, not just as any other wedding day. Your love is extraordinary, and your elopement should be too.

give me that experience!

I love what I do, and so do they...

"When (not if) you pick In Love and Adventure, you will be making the best decision for your elopement!"

Kelly is the best. Full stop. As a couple from out of state, we really depended on her expertise to find a location that met our admittedly long wish list: wildflowers, a body of water, beautiful mountains, possible alpenglow, remote yet without being too hard to get to. She proposed several locations, and when we decided to go with our back up location the day before our wedding, she was so flexible and accommodating. She made sure we had a timeline that worked for us, and even made sure we knew when we could make an appointment to get our Colorado elopement marriage license.

The day of our elopement was an absolute dream. As someone who always feels awkward in front of a camera, Kelly made it comfortable and hyped us up the whole time, and the pictures she captured feel so authentic while conveying the magic we felt that day.

When (not if) you pick In Love and Adventure, you will be making the best decision for your elopement!

Hi, i’m Kelly!👋I photograph small weddings & elopements for couples looking to escape traditions. Based in Grand Junction, Colorado
Colorado🏔️& Moab🏜️

Why do couples elope? 🧐 If you’re on the fence a Why do couples elope? 🧐  If you’re on the fence about eloping, I think you’ll enjoy reading this post.  Over the last 5 years of photographing elopements full time, i’ve asked every couple i’ve worked with this question, “why did you decide to elope?”  And guess what? All of their answers centered around the same theme.  👇 These are real answers on why couples decided to elope 👇  ✨ We prefer a private moment and experience
✨We began planning a wedding, but felt it was not the right fit for us, we want our wedding to be intimate and about us and our relationship
✨We want our day to actually be OUR day with the people who are closest to us
✨The only thing I have ever wanted for my wedding day is to be in the mountains with the people we love the most
✨We just want a day for us and our people to celebrate
✨We want an unforgettable wedding day  Notice how the common theme is around an experience, privacy, and an emphasis on wanting the day to feel “theirs”.  How sad is it, that when a couple is planning their wedding day, the ONE day where it should be centered around them, they might get the feeling of, “why am I doing this? This is turning into something I don’t want. This isn’t about us anymore.”  If you’re in the middle of planning your wedding, and it’s starting to feel more stressful than exciting, then maybe an elopement is right for you.  I’d love to chat with you and explain how all of this works so you can make that decision. Because you deserve a wedding day you can look back on and think, “We really did that. I’m so proud of us.”  My summer is filling up quick, but I still have plenty of availability for this spring, and fall.  Whether you want to romp around the Moab desert, or explore the Colorado mountains, i’m here to help you make your elopement dreams a reality.  .

✨ Waterfalls in Colorado ✨ Oohhhh these are some o ✨ Waterfalls in Colorado ✨ Oohhhh these are some of my *favorite* places in Colorado. Most of the waterfalls shown here are completely hidden gems, and every time I’ve been there, there’s no one else there. It feels like we stumbled upon a secret spot, always taking our breath away, and a true “I can’t believe we’re here” moment… The kind of place that makes everything else fade out for a minute, and it’s just you two.  If you’re wanting to go to one of these waterfalls in Colorado on your elopement day, I’d love to take you there! The fist step is reaching out via the form on my website 😊  .

In just 8 months the Colorado mountains are going In just 8 months the Colorado mountains are going to look like 🍂 this 🍂 👆  But not only does the fall foliage make for stunning wedding day pictures, it’s the perfect time to get married outside. You can expect warm crisp mountain air, ranging from 50 to 70°F, and that Colorado sunshine makes it feel even warmer! 🌞  If you start planning now, we can have everything planned in just about a month or so. I’ll suggest a few of the best spots for fall foliage, help you decide which date would be best for that spot (spoiler alert: mid day elopements are always the best choice), set you up with the best vendors in the bizz (you can stop googling now), and I’ll plan out a timeline to make sure we’re at the right place at the right time to get the best pictures.  There’s no secret. It’s all just detailed planning from an experienced elopement photographer who lives here in Colorado, and who’s been doing this full time for 5+ years, anddddd who’s worked with over 100 couples. It’s me, I’m the expert! 👋 😊  Let’s start planning your next great adventure, together.  .

I’m not usually one to wish away a season. I love I’m not usually one to wish away a season. I love them all! But this winter has been especially grim — not a lot of snow fall meaning not a lot of snowboarding 😢  So I’ve found myself day dreaming about warmer weather 🌞 And it got me thinking about all the amazing couples I get to work with this coming summer, and all the couples I’ve worked with in prior summers.  There are so many things about summer in the Colorado mountains that I love. The flowers, the shimmering blue alpine lakes, all the hiking trails, the sunrises and sunsets just hit different in the warm mountain air, and everything is green and lush and beautiful.  Lindsey + Pete eloped last summer in Crested Butte. The weather was messing with us all morning. A little bit of rain didn’t scare us off though! And at the end of the day, those afternoon thunderstorms they were calling for never even happened! 👏 We had so much fun that day.  If you’re thinking of spending your elopement in the Colorado mountains this summer, don’t wait to reach out. I only have a few more dates available!  .
