10+ Years Documenting Colorado Weddings
Photo & Film Full Service Coverage
Pikes Peak Region Local Expertise

As a Colorado Springs wedding photographer and videographer, I work with couples who want their day documented with intention — not just covered. The Pikes Peak region draws a remarkably diverse range of weddings, from grand multi-day celebrations at The Broadmoor and Cheyenne Mountain Resort to intimate elopements in the shadow of the Rockies.

Based on the Front Range, I regularly shoot weddings and elopements from Fort Collins and Boulder down through Denver, Lyons, and Colorado Springs — and I bring the same obsessive attention to storytelling to every project regardless of scale or setting.

Every story I tell is intentionally crafted to feel distinct, immersive, and undeniably yours. Not just how it looked, but how it felt.

Elopements & Intimate Ceremonies

Garden of the Gods
and Beyond

Colorado Springs is one of the best elopement destinations in the state — and Garden of the Gods is the centerpiece. The park is free and open to the public, requires no permit for personal photography, and offers a landscape that genuinely looks like nowhere else on earth.

Beyond Garden of the Gods, the greater Pikes Peak region offers a range of intimate ceremony locations — from the summit of America’s Mountain to the trails and meadows of the surrounding national forest. For couples who want something that feels completely removed from the traditional wedding experience, this region delivers.

I’ve documented engagement sessions and intimate ceremonies throughout the Garden of the Gods area — including work at the Garden of the Gods Resort and Club — and know the locations, timing, and conditions that make each session exceptional.
