Colorado Wedding Photographer

FAQ's

How many photos do you typically deliver?
On average I deliver about 80-100 images an hour.  This can fluctuate depending on what we’re doing but its a good rough estimate of what you'll receive.

I want to keep my elopement small but also want to include others, do you have suggestions on how to do that?
Yes! You’re not alone, this is a hard thing to balance for many couples who want to elope. Ultimately your wedding day should be what you want it to be. We can include family and friends through letters, virtual first looks, multiple ceremonies, and receptions at a later date. We’re happy to talk through some ideas that might work best for you.

Do I need an officiant?
No, in the state of Colorado you can legally marry yourselves without the need of an officiant. But if you want to have an officiant they can help guide you through vows and a ceremony. It’s really up to you.

We’re not very photogenic and don’t feel super comfortable taking pictures, can you help?
Absolutely! I don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera either, so I understand and want to make your experience as easy and fun as possible. I’ll help position you roughly in a flattering manner and then give you things to do while we take photos to ensure we capture joyful natural images that show your personalities.

What happens in case of bad weather?
It really depends on how bad it is and where we are. First and foremost, I want us to be safe. Lightning storms on mountain peaks can be extremely dangerous, so avoiding that is the most important. Besides that it’s a matter of being prepared and flexible.

If you’re planning on doing a Colorado elopement outdoors, changing weather is just part of the process. I carry clear umbrellas that will help keep you dry and still photograph well. We’ll also work out a potential backup location and use weather apps to watch storms and change our timing if need be.

Do I need to get a permit or make a reservation?
It depends. Rules vary by place to place. Some require a special use permit, some a reservation. Other areas only allow ceremonies in very specific spots and in some places you don’t need anything at all. I'm happy to help be your guide through all these regulations, making sure you understand what you need and can find the resources to do it right. 

Can I make prints from my photos?
Yes!  You can easily order prints and wall art from your own personal gallery.  This is connected to a lab that I know and trust ensuring that you'll receive superior quality products.  You're also welcome to take them somewhere else to get them printed if you would prefer.  All pricing includes a printing rights release to the images which will give you proof of permission to do so.
