Elopement Packages
Living the dream
Our photos show couples living the incredible experiences that we helped them plan from front-to-back. Day-of it’s just about getting out there and having a good time, knowing that great images naturally follow (with plenty of guidance and light direction).
Bring us the dreams you have for an awesome elopement and we’ll help you translate them into one incredible day (or two). The end result is an amazing wedding gallery that catches you between “I can’t believe that’s us out there!” and “Wow, that’s so us!”
Included in all packages
We’re here to help every step of the way to lend our expertise, talk out tricky logistics and help your vision come to life.
We never show up on an elopement day and ask, “What’s the plan?” We got you!

Jess is happy to officiate! About 75% of our clients have Jess create a ceremony that speaks to who they are and incorporates the words & traditions that matter to them.
-
Your entire experience documented by Jess & Austin both – in our documentary style that prioritizes having a great time and being true to yourselves above all.
Our clients often tell us they were kinda nervous about being in front of the camera but were shocked at how easy we made it for them.
Light direction without micro-managing, documenting without faking. You’re gonna have a good time.
-
Most of our photography coverage is digital, but at every elopement we shoot a roll or two of film for that magical, imperfect “you just had to be there” feeling that old-school film hits just right.

Our Elopement Packages
Mini Elopement
Up to 4hrs photo coverage • $4800
This is a great amount of time to have a lovely wedding experience at a relaxed pace, just the two of you.
In four hours, our couples commonly:
Hike 0-3 miles • exchange vows • picnic by an alpine lake • toast celebratory bevs • have their first dance • read letters from loved ones • catch a beautiful sunset
…but these are just starting points!
Travel within 2hrs of Boulder is included; beyond that, coverage minimums increase
Half-day Elopement
Up to 8hrs photo coverage • $7800
Either in one long go or split across a sunrise & sunset! It’s enough time to give elaborate experiences the breathing room they need — and you need — not to be “on” for the camera the whole time.
Eight hours of coverage is for couples looking for longer hikes, more time spent with family, multiple scenic stops, off-roading way out into the back country, or simply for those who just want to have most of their wedding story documented.
Again these are just starting points!
Travel anywhere within the US is included.
Some international trips + $1500
Custom Elopement Packages
Anywhere from 5 hours to full-day & multi-day coverage
Most couples start their journey with us having no idea how much time they need for their elopement coverage — that’s totally ok!
We can still get started planning a custom package that fits in everything you want to do! A custom package could be right if:
You want a low-key day but a 5th hour really just makes sense for your hike
You want to head to central or western Colorado — like the Breckenridge, Aspen, Telluride or Ouray areas. We don’t charge travel fees, but do require coverage minimums for extended travel.
You’re looking for true sunrise to sunset coverage — which could be 10-12 hours depending on the season
You have guests attending — every family & friend group is unique! We want to hear about your dynamic and how you imagine incorporating them into your plan
You just can’t choose between all the amazing location options you have — so let’s do a few over two days!
The next steps
The booking process
-
If you like what you’re reading and seeing, hit that Contact button below. We’d love to hear from you!
Note: you truly don’t need to have everything figured out before inquiring! Most couples book with a general timeframe and vibe in mind (and we help them with all the rest of the details during our planning process). -
We’ll meet over video and just get a feel for what you’re looking for and what we offer, and answer any questions you may have about us, our process, or eloping in general!
-
We’ll send over a proposal and contract to sign when you’re ready. Note: As much as we’d like to, we can’t work with everyone that inquires with us.
After booking
-
After you’ve signed your proposal and contract, the fun begins! Tons of exclusive resources coming your way, including a questionnaire to get the ball rolling and help you get a feel for what’s possible!
-
We’ll review your questionnaire together over video, chatting through specifics, recommendations, and timeline.
-
With a fun plan in place, all that’s left is to show up and get to it!
A few testimonials

Abigail
“I do not know many people who can make it feel normal to meet in a dark parking lot at 4:00 am and start heading out into the woods, but Jess and Austin totally pull it off. With their help our elopement kept all the wedding traditions we love i.e. vows, ring exchange, first dance, but left behind all the stress and conventional norms that did not fit us as a couple. Everyone who has looked at our pictures has said how happy we look and that really does sum up our experience.”

“Nothing about the experience felt staged. Everything was authentic and in the moment and it turned out absolutely beautiful! Jess and Austin braved some very frigid weather just to make our elopement the adventure we had hoped for. They are professional, fun, and also real people.”

Margaux
“We were nervous that eloping would make our wedding feel less special, but it was the opposite — we were able to focus on just the two of us, our love for each other, and what commitment of marriage meant for us. They made us 110% comfortable and we had SUCH a fun time! It flew by, we could not believe when it was over! Looking at our photos, I’m amazed at how they captured the blast we were having!”

Allison
“When I look at our photos, I see us as we truly are. The only worry I felt leading up to our day was how I would feel in front of the camera. But Austin and Jess are so passionate about capturing couples as their genuine selves, that those worries melted away immediately upon meeting them. Our photos capture every bit of silliness and joy that we felt that day.”

“Sometimes wedding planning made us feel like we were in a vacuum, and it was nice to know that we could reach out for any reason when we were overwhelmed. As soon as we met Jess and Austin, their warmth made us feel that we were among friends.”
