COLORADO AND UTAH ELOPEMENT PHOTOS
We’d guess you’re feeling kinda nervous about posing for photos?
Of course you are! Unless you’re a professional model or international celebrity, it’s not ‘normal’ to have a camera pointing at you.
But, trust us, you don’t need to worry. Coz here’s the thing…
What if we told you that you and partner actually already KNOW how to pose for photos, that you’ve been practicing for this moment your entire relationship?
That sounds crazy, we know, but think about it… If we ask you to snuggle up for a hug, you KNOW exactly which way your bodies fit together like missing puzzle pieces. Kinda cool, right?!
So, breath easy, you got this. Just trust in the love that you and your partner share and keep doing what you’ve always been doing together.
But there must be a trick to getting good photos?!
Nope. No trick. Truly.
Just bring your truest selves to the table, whether that be silly and goofy, or quiet and contemplative. There’s no ‘right’ way to behave or try to look in photos. So, be brave, be vulnerable, and allow us to capture the real you.
Commit to having the best time of your frickin’ lives! Plan a day you’re truly excited about and then revel in every single second that the day has to offer. Enjoy each other’s company, soak in the scenery, have a blast exploring, take the time to forge memories…
If you can do these two things, then just leave the rest to us. We got ya!
“Vanessa and Chad make the picture taking process so easy and organic…
Nothing felt forced or fake. I don’t usually like pictures of myself but I can’t stop staring at our elopement photos! They truly capture the magic of our day.”
– Morgan + Peyton
You don’t want your elopement day to be one long-a** photoshoot?!
Oh thank goodness… Us neither.
In fact, if you’re the couple who wants to spend your entire wedding day modelling and ‘striking a pose’ for Instagram, we’ll be honest… We’re probably NOT the team for you.
We know this might sounds strange coming from professional photographers, but your photos actually aren’t our top priority on the day.
Your EXPERIENCE is.
We want you to be having the time of your lives, way too engrossed in the moment to even be thinking about oh-so-perfect posed photos.
Our whole ‘photography philosophy’ is to make sure that you two are having the absolute time of your lives on your elopement day. That’s why we work so hard in the planning process to help you create a day filled with love, fun and adventure.
Because, honestly? That’s when the BEST photos are made.
“When our elopement day finally arrived, we felt completely at ease, fully present in each moment.”
Vanessa and Chad struck the perfect balance between giving us gentle direction and allowing us the freedom to simply be ourselves, creating an atmosphere where every laugh, every glance, every touch felt genuine. We didn’t feel rushed or overly posed; instead, we could soak in every second, knowing they were capturing it in a way that felt true to our love story.”
– Cailey & Ben
Real couples having a real good time
Every single image you see on our site is REAL.
No models and no ‘oh-so-perfect’ poses. Just normal people like you and your love, having a blast during their time with us!
We promise to prioritize your actual experience on your elopement day, to create a day where you feel ALIVE and full of JOY!
We are NOT here for the ‘Gram.
We’re here for YOU.
So…. There’ll be no fake, overly-posed Pinterest sh*t here!
“When it comes to posing, Chad and Vanessa won’t micromanage you and turn the day into a photoshoot.”
But they won’t leave you out to dry either! Instead, they perfectly set up beautiful little moments and let you ‘live in it’ together. Our photos convey so much love and emotion. The biggest problem is choosing which ones to hang on our wall!”
