Colorado, where adventure and romance live hand in hand.
If you’re looking for an elopement location that leaves you feeling inspired and in awe of the world around you, Colorado is IT!
It’s a place that will set your soul on fire, and as your local elopement photographers we can’t wait to share it with you. From soaring mountain peaks, to lush forests, crashing waterfalls and even desert red rocks… Colorado truly has it all.
There’s fun to be had around every corner in Colorado, no matter your personal ‘adventure level’: whether you want to hit up a mountain pass in time for sunrise, go off-roading into the backcountry or simply enjoy a decadent picnic on the edge of a pristine alpine lake!
Colorado is the perfect place to celebrate your marriage, and we’d bet good money you’ll come back time and time again to celebrate your anniversary!
Meet your photographers
Hey, we’re Chad and Vanessa, aka ‘The Outlovers’.
As locals to the area, we’d love to be your Colorado elopement photographers. We moved to Colorado back in 2020 (prior to that we were scuba diving instructors in the tropics!) and we live in the west of the state, close to our favorite mountain range, the San Juans.
We know places like Ouray, Telluride and Breckenridge inside out and back to front: not just the hotspots you’re going to see on Instagram, but all the secret hidden gems you only uncover after years of ‘on the ground’ exploring.
We can’t wait to share them with you!
“TLDR: The Outlovers are phenomenal people…”
“…their work product is spectacular, and they will go above and beyond for you.”
– Kaylee & Jake
