Loveland, known affectionately as the Sweetheart City, offers the ideal blend of accessibility and stunning natural beauty in the Northern Colorado foothills.
Unlike the higher mountain towns, Loveland provides:



Why Loveland is the Perfect Elopement Destination

You’ve decided to prioritize connection over convention. Forget the stress, the guest lists, and the expense of a giant wedding. You chose to elope because you want a marriage, not just a performance. This profound decision deserves a backdrop as genuine and beautiful as your love story.


Loveland Elopement Photography: Authentic Moments in the Foothills

● Diverse Scenery: From the vast blue waters of Carter Lake to the rugged rock formations of Devil's Backbone and the panoramic views from the foothills, you get dramatic backdrops without the high-altitude effort.

● Convenience: Easy access from Denver and the front range means less travel time for any essential vendors or guests.

● Local Charm: The town itself is rich in arts, sculpture, and cozy spots—perfect for your post-ceremony dinner or a weekend stay at a local boutique hotel. 

Your ceremony will be set among beautiful vistas, but your celebration will still feel grounded, authentic, and truly yours. 

I'm Natalie Dyer, and as a fellow elopement veteran and your dedicated Loveland Elopement Photographer, my commitment goes beyond just taking pictures. I provide expertise to ensure your day is seamless and focused entirely on your partnership.

● Location Strategy: I specialize in the local open spaces like Lory State Park and Larimer County parks, knowing the best spots for privacy, incredible light, and sunset views. I handle all the scouting and provide you with personalized options.

● Permit Clarity: Navigating permits for local areas like Horsetooth Mountain Open Space or State Park land can be confusing. I guide you through the process, advising you on deadlines and requirements so you never feel overwhelmed.

● Unobtrusive Guidance: I document your ceremony with quiet respect, letting the moment unfold naturally. When it's time for portraits, I step in confidently to offer clear direction, making sure you feel relaxed, not awkward, in front of the camera.

My goal is for you to look back and remember the feeling of your elopement day, not the stress of planning it.
