Even in an outdoor setting, a professional stylist can make sure you feel confident and photo-ready. Many local stylists offer on-location services, which is perfect for mountain elopements where traditional salons aren’t an option.

FAQ

Questions About Eloping in Telluride

Yes—you do need a marriage license to get married in Telluride, but the process super easy! Couples can obtain a license from any county clerk’s office in the state with no waiting period. Even better, Colorado allows self-solemnization, meaning you can legally marry yourselves without an officiant, making your elopement truly intimate. You can even have your dog “sign” as your witness!

Yes! With a carefully planned timeline, we can visit multiple locations in a single day. You’ll get to experience a variety of scenic backdrops without feeling rushed, while I capture every special moment along the way.

Colorado is full of breathtaking elopement locations, each offering its own unique magic. Rocky Mountain National Park delivers sweeping alpine vistas and serene wildflower meadows. For something truly otherworldly, Great Sand Dunes National Park offers towering dunes against a backdrop of mountains, a gorgeous one of a kind setting. Central Colorado offers iconic spots like Maroon Bells, Breckenridge, and Loveland Pass, while still being just a short drive from Denver International Airport. And of course, my home, the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado, boasts rugged peaks, pristine wilderness, and truly intimate spots that feel tucked away from the world. No matter where you choose, Colorado’s landscapes make every elopement feel extraordinary.

While eloping allows you to focus entirely on each other, some couples invite a few close friends or family to share in the joy of the day. I photograph elopements with up to 25 people.

Each season brings its own charm: summer wildflowers, golden fall leaves, and winter’s snowy wonderland. The best time to elope in Colorado depends on the experience you’re looking for. From June through October, Colorado enjoys its warmest weather bringing long, sunlit days. June can still have snow to the high-mountain peaks, with temperatures starting to begin to cool in October. Fall reaches its peak color during the last week of September and the first week of October.

I personally love when couples bring their pups along! Including your dog in your elopement can bring a lighthearted, joyful energy to your day. In Colorado, you can even have your dog “sign” as your witness turning your elopement into a truly personal, unforgettable experience.

Nope! You don’t need to be an avid hiker to reach a stunning location in Telluride. There are plenty of breathtaking locations that are easy to reach, as well as spots accessible by Jeep or short drives, making it simple to find the perfect backdrop without strenuous effort. Whether you want sweeping mountain views, waterfalls, or golden aspen groves, Telluride offers a variety of accessible options that let you focus on your day and your love, not the hike. Unless you’re into that ;)

Absolutely! I welcome couples who want to include cannabis as part of their day. Whether it’s for relaxation, celebration, or just a personal touch to enhance your laid-back elopement experience.
