Got Some Questions? I Got Answers.

Do we have to be crazy about hiking to elope on a mountain?

How far you want to hike is entirely up to you. If you want to do an all-day hike for your elopement, then we can do that. If you'd rather drive to a location and do a short walk, that's also realistic. Thankfully there are plenty of places are Colorado (and elsewhere) that vary in duration and level of hikes. It's my job to help you find a hike that fits you!

But we're so AWKWARD!

No worries! Most of the couples I work with are actually nervous in front of the camera. This is why it's important for me to become friends with both of you! The closer you and I are, the better you will feel in front of the camera. And remember, I won't make you do anything you aren't comfortable with!

You're going to follow US around ALL DAY and make us take pictures?!

Yes and no! Yes, I will be following you around all day taking pictures. No, I will not make you take pictures the entire time. I'm here to document your day in an authentic way, which means I won't have you always looking at the camera. This is an experience! Just because there's 12-hour coverage doesn't mean it's a 12-hour photoshoot!

How far in advance should we book an elopement?

It really depends! I've helped plan elopements in two weeks and I've also helped plan elopements that were booked 6-12 months out. One important thing to consider is the logistics of other vendors and the time of year that you want to elope. Vendors tend to book up for the summer quickly, so if you want florals, videography, and a private chef it's important to ensure availability. If you're down to do a last-minute elopement, you can still be intentional as much as you are spontaneous. 

What can we expect during a photo shoot with you?

Expect to get dirty, wet, and get grass in your hair! We can be adventuring to a waterfall, on a hiking trail, or next to the ocean. I will prompt you to move around a lot and play with your partner. You might just kiss them more than you have in a long time ;) This will be an adventurous experience.

You mentioned you're an elopement guide, what does that mean?

When I say I'm a guide, I'm here to guide you through the process of planning an elopement. This doesn't make me a planner, as in I book the plane tickets and lodging. I advise you on where you should stay, where you should elope, outfit ideas, and vendor recommendations. I use the resources I've gathered from my experience to help you every step of the way. 

How do we elope and still include our family + friends?

There are plenty of ways to include your family and friends on your elopement day. You can, of course, include them during your ceremony. But if you want to keep it between you two, your loved ones can help you get ready. Once you're done with the ceremony you can come back and celebrate with everyone! There are plenty of other ways I can help you customize your day to have everyone you love to be a part of it!

Where should we elope?!?!

Don't know where you want to elope? Don't worry! I've got a list of places depending on the type of elopement day you want to have. When we hop on a phone call I can help you narrow down the time and place you want to get hitched. Do you have a bucket list? Me too. So let's start there!
