When You Choose to Elope in Colorado,
You're Choosing Joy, Adventure, and a Wedding Day That Feels Like You.
Take a deep breath, This is where the real adventure begins.
You’re not here for a cookie-cutter wedding day. You’re here because you want something that actually feels like you two.
A day where you can hike through golden aspen groves, exchange vows at the edge of a hidden alpine lake, or stand together in the soft alpenglow— without an audience, without the pressure, without the noise.
I’m Dani — a Colorado elopement photographer who’s helped over 400 couples create wedding days that feel easy, stress-free, and unforgettable. I’m here to guide you through every step — from permits and location planning to capturing every genuine, unfiltered moment — so you can focus on what matters: your love, your story, and the wild places where it all unfolds.
Whatever you’re dreaming up — a backcountry trail adventure, a cozy cabin elopement, or a “just us” ceremony in a wildflower meadow — you’re exactly where you need to be.

When you book me as your Colorado elopement photographer, you’re getting a true adventure partner (whatever that looks like for you), a logistics expert, and a supportive presence throughout your entire day.
Here’s what’s included in every one of my packages — no exceptions:
'I am so happy we chose Danielle to capture our elopement'
"She helped us find the perfect spot for our ceremony and was so helpful, from carrying keys/phones to helping me with my dress, she was always on it. She helped us problem solve when it started raining and had a couple extra umbrellas just in case. She also made us feel so comfortable and was checking in consistently. I gave her absolutely zero inspiration and she helped guide us through poses and captured our special day perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. 10/10 would recommend"

Maybe you already know exactly what you want your elopement to look like, or maybe you’re still piecing it together. Either way, you're in the right place.
After you’ve looked over the packages, fill out an inquiry form and share a little about your vision (even if it’s still taking shape) and which package feels like the best fit. From there, we’ll schedule a call and start building your day together!
We’ll talk through ideas, answer questions, and figure out the best way to create an experience that feels true to you and unforgettable.
I'll send over your contract and invoice to lock in your date, and just like that, the fun begins! Planning, dreaming, and co-creating a day you’ll never forget.

I KNOW COLORADO LIKE THE BACK OF MY CAMERA
I’ve spent years exploring every corner of this state — from iconic national parks to quiet places that don’t show up on Instagram.
Whether you’re drawn to alpine lakes or sand dunes, red rock canyons or hidden forest trails, I’ll help you find the perfect location for your day.
And if you’ve got somewhere in mind that I haven’t photographed yet? Even better. I’ll scout it ahead of time so we can show up confident and ready.
Whether I’ve visited a location a hundred times or it’s a brand new pin on the map, I’ll approach it with the same curiosity and care.
If it’s in Colorado — I’m in.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard couples say this lol. You’re far from alone in feeling that way. I've been photographing couples for years and have worked with many different personality types. I’m super adaptable to working with different comfort levels and take a noninvasive approach while taking photos. My biggest goal is to keep the two of you engaged with each other and present in the moment.

we're awkward in front of the camera but want those fun, candid-style photos. Help!
Of course! If you are eloping, we can plan for a location that accommodates ~ 10-15 guests. Keep in mind that logistics get difficult with more people and will limit location options. If you're planning a micro wedding, we can plan for a location that accommodates ~20-30 guests. This will likely be an established outdoor, reservable venue, or a VRBO if they allow events and we get permission from the host.

Can we bring guests?
PLEASE bring your pups!! Most counties in Colorado still allow your dog to "sign" your license, so depending on where you pick up your license, yes, they can sign!

CAN WE BRING OUR DOGS? CAN THEY SIGN OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE?
This can vary depending on the activities we’re doing, but on average, I deliver around 50-75 images per hour. Usually more though :)

Absolutely! 90% of my couples travel for their elopement, so I love giving all of the recommendations on where to stay, what to eat, and what to do!
