When Emma + Trevor booked with me, they were so trusting from the very beginning. It was so special seeing their vision for their Garden of the Gods elopement come to life with their closest people. They shared the most emotional, intentional vows I’ve ever witnessed. For the entire day they were 100% themselves.
Since I was able to get to know Emma + Trevor throughout planning, it was obvious that their personalities are truly the perfect match. Emma is a bit of sass mixed with a lot of class while Trevor is the most tender-hearted teddy bear of a man. One of Emma’s must haves for her elopement day was that they wanted the photos to highlight their personalities and their stylistic choices. I think we were able to capture just that! So, without further ado, here is the gallery of the most emotional Garden of the God’s elopement!

A huge part of the elopement planning process is finding your dream location because that will set the scene for every backdrop. However, when eloping at Garden of the Gods, it’s important to be prepared for crowds. In short, I would take crowds into consideration if you’re wanting to elope on the weekend, in the middle of the day, or at sunset. If privacy is a must-have, you might want to elope on a weekday or at sunrise. However, usually the space will clear out for the most part since people are understanding that a ceremony was happening.
Regardless of the time of day you choose, the park has so many places to go for photos. By choosing Garden of the Gods, you won’t be lacking options. Additionally, it is completely FREE to get married at the park! This means more money to invest in other things that matter to you for your day! Lastly, there are a total of six designated ceremony spots within the park. If you’re looking for a Colorado elopement photographer to make things easier on you, I would be more than honored to share these locations with you!
Moments are constantly fleeting. That sounds depressing at first, but I don't mean it that way. More so, this reality gives me an incredible importance as a wedding photographer to capture the future memory within that moment as it truly happened. Isn't that a beautiful thing?
I'm not interested in photographing fabricated version of you or your day. I want to photograph the real stuff. The tears, laughs, and stolen glances... Your guests dressed to the nines and bringing the party on the dance floor. And mostly, the unplanned, undeniably-you moments during one of the biggest celebrations of your life.
If you're looking for a documentary-style photographer who appreciates all of the big and small moments, who will make your guests feel seen and known, and who truly cares about storytelling every moment that makes your day yours, you've found your match.
Here's the deal - I couldn't be more honored that you have seen something here that resonates with your soul. Are you wanting to take photos in the mountains? Your new home? The coast? I am available in Colorado and worldwide, no matter where your love takes you! I cannot wait to create undeniably-you photos together.
Most of my couples spend an average of $800-$1000 on sessions, whether that be for an engagement, just-because, bridal, or anniversary session. My goal is to be more than someone who shows up to snap photos. I'm there for you in every step of the planning process being more than just a photographer. Everything I do, I do with serving you in mind.
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LOVE.
