How i make your experience easy peasy

Location Recommendations

I've hiked and camped this gorgeous state since I moved here from Wisconsin 10 years ago. I have lists and lists of amazing locations to pull from to help you find your perfect ceremony spot. I customize your list based on the vibes you and your honey love (mountain view, alpine lake, etc).

Vendor Recommendations

Google is endless. I'm here to help you avoid the stress of sifting through pages on the internet and thousands of hashtags on IG. I send over awesome, trustworthy vendors that are local to the area of Colorado you guys choose to get married in.

Logistics

You get a personalized timeline to help us stay on track so we don't miss any important parts of your day. I take care of the boring (but important) stuff and process any necessary permits so we can avoid the drama. You also get a 70+ page elopement planning guide to help you brainstorm and get excited!

Gorgeous photography

Your day is going to fly by. No seriously, when it's all over, your elopement is going to feel like a dream. You get to be intentional and focus on your honey while I get to document your day as it unfolds. Your gallery will be full of beautiful, epic photos of you, the love of your life, and the mountains that we love.

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!

If planning your Colorado elopement has been slightly intimidating so far,

GOOGLE HAS FINALLY LED YOU TO THE CORRECT PLACE

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 elopement 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.

WORK WITH ME

You know that nothing gold can stay...

You've experienced enough life to know that it's fleeting. The seasons pass and you understand that photos are invaluable, they are your legacy.

You know that you want your day to be special and full of meaning. A day that includes only your favorite things, activities, and people.

I'm here to help you make that happen.

"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.
