What matters more, the experience, or the photos?

It’s a trick question! They’re both equally important and go hand in hand. A great experience means great photos. This is why I focus on the way you look in the photos as much as the way you’re feeling on your adventure.

Everything I do is designed to take care of you, take care of every single detail, and make you forget you’re getting your photo taken.

Basically, I put you in a gorgeous place with your favorite human and make every worry disappear so you can have the greatest adventure of your lives (with the pictures to prove it).

How do I do this?

Well, I do the legwork (often literally with our legs). I map out the terrain, obtain permits, give you my extensive list of bada$$ vendors, help you with the travel plans, the accommodations and every other detail you can dream up. I’ll even set you up to get your Colorado wedding license!

When your big day arrives, i’ll have the gear packed and every detail checked off so you can focus exclusively on having the most unforgettable day.

I want that unforgettable experience!

What's it like working with Kelly?

Hear it from my happy couples...

"This will be everything you want and more in for your elopement!"

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin, or how to convey how wonderful her planning and photography is. We booked an elopement from out of state (Arkansas) with no idea of what to expect, but I’m so happy we decided to book with Kelly! (This was my first time in Colorado.) We received detailed information on how to plan and make decisions regarding our elopement, as well as the most breathtaking photos I’ve ever seen. Before choosing a location we did the provided questionnaire, which was actually a super fun/romantic date night for us. Kelly helped us choose an amazingly fun and gorgeous location, and helped us navigate a dog friendly elopement. She was insanely good at poses/suggestions, as well as photographing the natural moments and making a comfortable environment. This will be everything you want and more in for your elopement!

Don’t know shit about adventure elopements?
You don’t need to!

Whether you’ve taken on multiple 14ers or you’re more on the low level adventure-ish spectrum, I customize your elopement to you. Like, the real you. I can and will trek 10 miles in and wake up at 2 a.m. to summit at dawn. I can also plan out an adventure that feels more mellow and manageable to your wants and needs.

Your only job is to dream big. I’ll tailor your adventure and finalize the logistics. I’ll set you up for the things you might not know to prepare for. Things like high elevation, practicing Leave No Trace, being prepared for the weather, and wearing the right clothes. Think of me as a love sherpa. You bask in that wedding day bliss, I got the rest.

I got you. Do you feel gotten? Just want to reiterate: All the things to get gotten, I got ‘em!

YOU GOT ME!

“So, will there be, like, direction with the photos or do we just guide ourselves through it?”

- EVERY COUPLE EVER

The last thing I want you worrying about on your wedding day is how awkward you feel, or if you’ve got that stiff arm thing going on. This is a huge fear for so many couples. I get it. But I want you to cross this off the list of your fears and worries (i’ll work on alleviating the rest of that list too!).

Putting you at ease is in my nature. My DNA is literally composed of: being personable, caring for you, and taking amazing photos (actual 23andMe results). I read the room, heck, I can read the whole mountainside, and I will do whatever it takes to put you in your comfort zone.

And, hey, i’m not looking to capture something you’re not. Forced, inauthentic photos are not on my shot list. My mission is to walk side by side with you and capture the photos that reflect who you are. Relax, let go into love, and adventure! I’ll be snapping the photos of who you actually are as we journey along.

Still need to know more?

HEY, I GET IT. THERE’S A LOT TO KNOW.

That’s why I put together sooo much info in my blog. From planning elopements and how to write your vows, to how to elope in Colorado… and then all the way to eloping with your dog.

I’ve also got this really great FAQ section for all your Qs that need to be A-ed.

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

Being in Moab yesterday had me reminiscing on Hill Being in Moab yesterday had me reminiscing on Hillary + Matt’s sunset elopement there a few seasons back so I wanted to share some from their day 💜💙🩷🧡  It had me thinking how an elopement day doesn’t have to end as soon as the sun goes down. All of these pics here were taken during the last few minutes of light, and then right after during what we call “blue hour”. That special time when everything turns shades of blue, and as you can see, it’s pretty magical ✨  .

All the fall colors for Holly + Mason’s elopement All the fall colors for Holly + Mason’s elopement last fall in Ouray 🍂 ⛰️  We drove up a 4x4 road, and were kind of surprised when we didn’t see another soul out there. It was just us and the wide open space. We explored the area a bit before making our way to their ceremony spot. They exchanged their vows right there in the mountains, in the chilly autumn air. It was what fall Colorado elopement dreams are made of. Something small. Simple. And set somewhere stunning ✨  If you’re thinking of eloping this fall, I only have 2 more dates available! Reach out today and we can start planning!!  .
