Hey, I'm Mikayla! yOur Colorado Elopement Photographer

When my couples see their ceremony location for the first time and tears well in their eyes because photos just didn't do it justice. Or when they thank me for helping them have an elopement in Colorado that truly reflects them...

In those moments, I feel so grateful that I'm an elopement photographer in Colorado and that I get to help couples have  the wedding day they've always dreamed of.

Mountains are powerful and they're a beautiful place to commit yourself to your favorite person ever.

I’m originally from Wisconsin and instantly fell in love with the diverse landscape of Colorado and the peace that it brings. I've been photographing elopements  in Colorado for going on 4 years!

I got a "nice camera" to take pictures of my dogs in pretty places but then my best friend asked me to take her engagement photos. The rest is history! 

I fell in love with documenting two people in love surrounded by amazing views. As someone who escapes to the mountains whenever I possibly can, it only made sense that I work with couples that value the outdoors too! 

Now I take beautiful elopement photos of couples who are drawn to the mountains and want a Colorado adventure elopement to celebrate their wedding day!

To see if we're a good fit for each other, check out this experience page! 

GOOGLE HAS FINALLY LED YOU TO THE CORRECT PLACE

If planning your  elopement has been slightly intimidating so far,

I  completely understand. The possibilities are endless & the lists of to-dos, vendors to sift through, and dreams to chase are never-ending.

As a Colorado photographer, I help couples plan their wedding day all the time and it can still feel heavy.

Because this is a BIG DEAL!!! This is the start of the rest of your life we're talking about. You just want to do it justice. You want your day to be full of love and intention and an accurate reflection of you.

& I want that for you too.

"Mikayla did an amazing job! She captured beautiful moments that I'm glad I get to look at and cherish for forever. We had an engagement/couples session the day before our wedding and she was able to get those amazing photos back to us so fast. The wedding photos were even more beautiful! Looking at them brings me back to that phenomenal day. Thank you for capturing those moments and more importantly the love we share!"

In Colorado, there's something for everyone.

I'm here to help you find it.

Before you keep scrolling, I have a couple things I'd like to mention.

Theres no "right" way to do this.

You don't have to "bag peaks" every other weekend to get married in the mountains. If you've never hiked a day in your life but dream about saying vows surrounded by nature, you're in the right place. If you literally hate hiking but want the views, I can make that happen. If you want to epic views AND a rewarding trek to get there, I'm your gal.

The possibilities are endless, please don't limit yourselves or let anyone tell you what you can, cannot, or should do on your day! Browse some popular elopement locations in Colorado.

Let's find the perfect location for your elopement 

"We cannot say enough good things about Mikayla. She was such a positive force to work with - so responsive, professional, kind, and enthusiastic. She was able to capture our love so well and we will seriously cherish her beautiful photos forever. If you are thinking of booking her - DO IT."

- Maddie + Kyle, Breckenridge Elopement

"If you’re thinking about working with Mikayla, JUST DO IT! She’s absolutely amazing! She captured our elopement perfectly and didn’t miss a moment! We love our pictures so much and will cherish them forever! She was so helpful during the planning process helping us figure out the location and answering any questions we had."

- Madeline & Colin, Colorado Springs Elopement

"But why are you special?"

With all of the elopement photographers in Colorado that you've researched so far, I'm sure we're all starting to mesh together and you're left asking what makes me so special. 

I care--really. It sounds so cheesy, but I do, like a lot. I'm emotionally invested in all of my couples. In your planning, in your day, in your photos. I'm just a normal person who knows how to take beautiful photos and tell a story. For me, this never gets old. Yes, you'll get an elopement photographer & a pretty resourceful lady (if I do say so myself), but you'll also get a friend.
