meet Bailee and Jake

We’re Bailee & Jake

Lovers of thrifting, Star Wars, and all things adventure.

We started our Colorado elopement photography and videography journey when we realized that there are so many couples who are longing for a completely different wedding experience—one that centered solely around them. A wedding that was free from the pressure of traditional expectations, where they could choose exactly how they wanted to celebrate their love, without compromise.

From the moment we documented our first elopement, we knew this was what we were meant to do! It felt like a perfect blend of our love for Colorado, the great outdoors, and our passion for capturing authentic, meaningful moments. We’ve had the incredible privilege of meeting couples who are just as excited about doing things their way as we are—and we get to tell their unique stories through our photography and videography!

Our mission is to help fun, down-to-earth couples create a wedding day that reflects their love for each other and the great outdoors. Whether that means exchanging vows at a mountaintop at sunrise or saying "I do" surrounded by towering pine trees, we’re here to make sure every moment feels true to who you are.

We can’t wait to connect with you, hear your story, and be a part of your unforgettable journey as you celebrate your love in the most authentic way possible!

oh hey there, friend!

confession:
we did the big wedding

and we wish we eloped instead

Planning our big wedding was honestly so stressful. It felt like everyone had an opinion on what we should do—how to decorate, what songs to play, what to eat, you name it.

Here’s the thing: Jake and I didn’t even get a chance to write vows to each other. The months leading up to our wedding were spent running around dealing with flowers, decorations, cake flavors, travel plans, lighting, invites… all the little details to make sure everyone else was happy. Writing our vows got pushed to the back burner because we were constantly pulled in different directions to handle things that seemed more urgent. In the end, when it was time to say our vows, we just made them up on the spot.

We didn’t even realize there were other ways to approach a wedding beyond the big, traditional event. Now that we know there are more meaningful options, we’re passionate about helping couples create a wedding day that truly reflects who they are.


Five years later, we had an elopement-style vow renewal

"As Jake and I stood hand in hand, surrounded by jaw-dropping, glacier-carved mountains, I breathed a sigh of relief. 'This is so us.'"
- Entry from Bailee's Journal

For our fifth wedding anniversary we planned a vow renewal in Glacier National Park, a place near and dear to Bailee's heart. Bailee bought her dream wedding dress and we got ready in a tiny-house Airbnb right outside of the park and explored the area with our photographer. 

There was no stress. No pressure. No expectations. Our vow renewal was 100% focused on us and our love for each other.

The best part? We wrote vows. Real vows. Taken straight from our hearts and professed for only our ears to hear. We had the opportunity to re-create what should have been an incredibly sacred moment that we missed at our wedding. And that now means the world to us.

The only regret we have had in our relationship was that we let our wedding be about everything but us.

Our vow renewal allowed us to be completely present with each other while we celebrated our relationship. When we look back on the images from that day, we do so with so much love because it was a perfect representation of us

now, we help couples to create a wedding day that totally feels like them.

You made the brave choice to be true to who you are by eloping. We are so excited for you and we promise you won't regret it!

Choosing to elope gives you and your partner an opportunity to be completely present and 100% yourselves on one of the most important days of your lives.

At the end of the day, all that matters is that you and your partner got married in the most authentic way. Of course, the pictures and video will be incredible and tell your unique wedding story, but the most important thing to us is that, when you look back on your wedding, you do so with so much love and happiness.

Because how you get married is a big deal, and we're here to help you create a wedding day that looks and feels like you. 

No regrets. No stress. 


let's get you eloped!
