Choosing the right Colorado elopement packages isn’t just about picking a place to say “I do” — it’s about designing an entire experience that feels true to who you are. Whether you’re dreaming of sunrise vows in the mountains, lakeside promises with your boots in the water, or an epic summit celebration with the wind in your hair, you’re in the right place.
I’m the photographer, guide, and behind-the-scenes cheerleader at Alpine Vows, and it’s my passion (and my absolute honor) to help couples craft the kind of elopement day they’ll never stop smiling about. I’ve helped hundreds of couples craft wildly meaningful elopements across Colorado. No cookie-cutter weddings here – only experiences that feel real, natural, and so you.
Let’s find the package that brings your dream to life.
Why Colorado Elopement Packages Are the Key to an Unforgettable Day
Planning a traditional wedding can feel… a little like assembling IKEA furniture without the instructions. Stressful, expensive, and filled with way too many decisions.
Our Colorado elopement packages flip the script. You get beauty, intimacy, and adventure all wrapped up in one epic experience without the headache. Instead of worrying about seating charts and centerpiece colors, you can spend your day hiking to a hidden waterfall, reading handwritten letters from your families, taking in that dreamy Colorado alpenglow on the mountains as the sun rises, or sharing a first dance under the stars.
And when you book with Alpine Vows? You’re not just getting a photographer – you’re getting someone who’s hiked the trails, weathered the pop-up mountain storms, scouted the perfect golden hour spots, and cheered on hundreds of couples through the best day of their lives.
(Also: someone who will absolutely have granola bars, tissues, and bobby pins on hand at all times. Just saying.)
What Every Alpine Vows Colorado Elopement Package Includes
All of my Colorado elopement packages come with more than just beautiful photos – because you deserve so much more than a gallery of your most cherished moments (trust me, you’ll get so many of those!) You deserve an experience.
When you book me, you get:
- Custom location guide (hidden lakes, alpine fields, secret overlooks—you name it)

- Leave No Trace guidance so we can keep Colorado beautiful
- Unlimited planning help (aka: you can text me when you can’t decide between boots and sandals for the trail)

Basically, I’m here to make sure the only thing you need to focus on is each other.

How to Choose the Right Colorado Elopement Package for You
Not sure which of the Colorado elopement packages fits your love story? Here’s how to narrow it down:
- Think about your energy levels: Are you imagining a chill lakeside ceremony or a summit hike?
- Consider the season: Some trails are closed in winter or require snowshoes!
- Guest count matters: Bringing a few loved ones? We’ll find a spot that’s beautiful and easy to reach. Keeping it just the two of you? We can wander a little farther if you’re up for it – or stick close and soak it all in. Your day, your pace.
- Prioritize experience over “must-dos”: If you’d rather soak in the views than rush to five locations, pick a package that gives you breathing room.
- Dream bigger: This is your one day to do whatever feels most “you” – whether that’s swapping vows on a cliffside or canoeing into the sunset.
And hey – if you’re stuck, I’m just an email away. We’ll brainstorm until your elopement feels like your favorite day ever (because it will be).
Bonus Add-Ons You Can Add to Any Package
Want to sprinkle even more magic into your elopement? You can add:
- 35mm Film Photos: Capture your day with vintage, nostalgic magic.
- Colorado Elopement Video: A 5–15 minute elopement film capturing the vibes, emotions, and crazy-beautiful moments.
Basically, if you can dream it, I’m here for it.
Why Book Your Colorado Elopement with Alpine Vows?
I’m not about cookie-cutter weddings, fake laughs, or awkward prom poses (unless you love to irony, then I’m here for it). I’m about real moments. Real love. Real laughter. Real memories.
As an experienced Colorado elopement photographer, I know how to capture the messy hair, the belly laughs, the tears when you realize this is actually happening. I’ve hiked the rocky trails, dodged summer hailstorms, braved freezing dawns, and cheered for every vow spoken. And I may have cried behind my camera a time or two during those vows!
And I believe your love story deserves to be told with heart, with honesty, and with a whole lot of celebration.
