Our passion lies in empowering couples to create a wedding day that looks and feels like them. 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!
We believe that your wedding day should be
stress-free and focused on the two of you. By choosing an adventurous elopement, your day can be filled with the things you both love allowing you to soak in the magic of starting your lives together in the most authentic way.
Did you just get goosebumps? Us too!
An elopement looks and feels different for everyone. Some couples choose an easily accessible ceremony location. Some of our couples have chosen to have a two-day backpacking elopement in the San Juan mountains. And some choose to have something in between. You can fill your wedding day with adventurous activities or take it easy.
Your elopement will be absolutely incredible because it will tell your unique love story! That's the beauty of choosing to elope, there are no rules and you can do whatever you want! However you choose to elope, we'll be there every step of the way to not only document your love story, but to help you have the most incredible wedding experience.
Your wedding images give you a physical representation of each moment captured in time. Elopement videos hit a little different.
While photos are the perfect accessory to decorate your walls or to create a gorgeous album, your wedding video allows you to look back on your wedding day in 10, 20, or 50 years in a way that allows you to viscerally
relive those precious moments.
Your wedding video has the power to transport you right back to your wedding day every time you watch it. Imagine getting the opportunity to re-live every emotion you felt and each moment you had on your wedding day in real time! Not only that, but an elopement video is an amazing way to share your wedding experience with those you love, or keep it for yourselves to enjoy year after year.
For all these reasons and more, we love combining elopement videography and photography for our couples. We believe that each adventure elopement is a unique story that deserves to be documented in full HD 4k video. Adding video to your elopement photography package is the best way to encapsulate your entire wedding day from start to finish.

We booked Bailee far in advance before the wedding and let me tell you, she was ON IT. She sent us reminders, suggestions, and even video-called with us when we had questions. She was extremely organized, all while being so genuinely kind. We could tell she truly found passion in her work. Fast forward to the wedding day…Bailee met us at our location and took initiative right away. She guided us to the most perfect spots, gave us space to truly enjoy one and another, and did it all with so much ease. Bailee has an eye for detail and knew exactly when and where to capture photos that provided the best backgrounds and lighting. Her time-management was spectacular. Our wedding/elopement photos are telling of that.
Bailee was the piece that held our entire trip/elopement together. We would’ve been lost without her. We found a friend in her and would absolutely recommend her (and already have) to anyone that is getting married. She is the sweetest soul and we are blessed that she was such an integral part of our favorite day.

Bailee and Jake photographed and video'd our Maroon Bells elopement and the results left me speechless!! They are both such wonderful people who made us feel so comfortable, it really felt like we had all been friends for years. Our ceremony was a bit more of a micro-wedding, they were both so sweet and patient with everyone and made sure we got pictures with each and every person there. After our ceremony it was just the 4 of us, our adventure involved an hour, maybe a bit longer of a steep hike, but don’t be alarmed, they go at your pace! I had to take a few breaks and they did not mind at all! They are also very well prepared which I loved because with all the pre-elopement chaos going on, I forgot to pack my hiking shoes and snacks but luckily Bailee kept a spare pair in her car along with snacks and water! I should also mention my husband and I are from California and had the crazy idea of eloping in Colorado, we are not familiar with the state what-so-ever! We trusted Bailee with the post ceremony location and it was absolutely breathtaking!

If I could give 10 stars I would. From the very first consultation, Bailee impressed me. She was authentic and thoughtful about her approach, careful and detailed with the planning, and a true professional throughout. Our special day was perfection with the guidance of the Alpine Vows team. These two were so much fun, helpful, and just genuinely good people. Meeting them in person felt like catching up with old friends, and we were amazed at how truly comfortable they made us feel throughout the whole day. The final product knocked us off our feet. The moments Bailee captured, and the video footage Jake captured still has us in tears and we will be forever grateful. For anyone planning a CO elopement, 10/10 recommend Alpine Vows."
- Amy + Jarek
As a wedding photographer myself, it was important to find someone that had everything! I cannot say enough good things about this team. Bailee's communication from day one left me completely at ease, every step was clearly laid out, every instruction every date everything was typed out clear for me to understand. On the day of the wedding she and her husband gave clear guidance on poses & what to do that made us feel comfortable! I felt like we were able to show so much more love on camera because they cheered us on the entire session. We had our 5 month old and they treated him like their own, kept him warm when it was cold and even held him during couples shots. We got sneak peeks within 24 hours and our video and pictures were delivered before the promised date. I CRIED watching the video. Literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I cannot say enough good things about them individually and as a team. I would hire them 100 times over!"
-Kristina + Dre
I contacted Alpine Vows less than three months before my anticipated elopement, not knowing what to expect with such short notice. The guidance and friendship I received from both Bailee and Jake surpassed anything I could have imagined from initial Internet strangers. They truly cared about tailoring our elopement to our preferences and listened to what was most important to us in terms of activities and how we wanted to remember the day. As a result, we have stunning photographs and video that captures special moments like our first look, to small details like the berries on our cake. Having Bailee to talk through each step of the planning process with felt like checking in with an old friend who could not be more excited for you. As proof, I was initially upset the weather was gray and overcast but hearing her call it "moody" and "beautiful" really changed my outlook on the day. I am so happy we went with Alpine Vows and that I can look back on my wedding day and say I wouldn't change a thing!"
-Lesley + Frank
If you are looking for someone up for any type of adventure, Bailee is the right photographer for you. She photographed our backpacking elopement and the photos she took were amazing! We loved every single photo and are having the hardest time choosing which ones to share because we love them all so much!! From the beginning Bailee was very responsive and checked in with us periodically. She never forgot about us and always made sure we felt important throughout the process. Bailee is not only an incredible photographer but a caring and supportive human. When we chose to elope we knew photos and video were on the top of our list. Choosing Bailee for photos was one of the best decisions for our wedding. Thank you so much Bailee!!
