Your Day, Your Way
Imagine a wedding day where the only thing on your timeline is being fully present with each other. A day without the production or the pressure to entertain. It’s just about being present with each other. I know exactly how much that peace is worth because I’ve been in your shoes. My husband and I kept our wedding to just us, our dog, and a photographer. Looking back, it was exactly what we needed, and I’d make that same choice again in a heartbeat. I carry that same mindset into every elopement, making sure the day stays about the two of you.
Windsor, Colorado makes an incredible backdrop for these intimate weddings. Nestled between the foothills and open plains, our town offers scenic landscapes that range from sunlit rolling fields to the small-town charm of downtown streets. Whether you envision saying your vows in a quiet park or under the vast Colorado sky at golden hour, Windsor provides a natural beauty that elevates your day without the chaos of a large wedding.
If you are looking for a Windsor elopement photographer who genuinely gets it, you are in the right place. My goal is to give you the space to be yourselves while I document your day as it naturally unfolds.
Your Windsor Elopement Photographer
Most of the couples I work with aren’t trying to skip out on a wedding—they’re just choosing to prioritize a day that actually feels like them. It’s about building a ceremony around your relationship rather than a guest list, keeping the focus on the person standing in front of you.
Windsor and Northern Colorado offer a lot of room for that kind of day.
Windsor itself has an unhurried character that suits an elopement well. Windsor Lake is a genuinely lovely spot, especially in the early morning before the rest of the world shows up. The open fields and farmland on the edges of town give you wide sky and soft light that is hard to replicate anywhere else. If you want something a little more tucked away, Chimney Park and the trails around town offer green space without the crowds. For couples who want to venture further out, the Cache la Poudre River corridor, Horsetooth Reservoir, and Rocky Mountain National Park are all within easy reach and each one brings something different depending on the time of year and the kind of day you are after.
I know these places well, and I enjoy helping couples find the spot that actually fits their day rather than just looks good in someone else's photos. Wherever you land, I am there as your partner throughout the day, not just your photographer.
Working with me is meant to be the easy part of planning your elopement. Here is how it goes.
1. Reach Out
Fill out my contact form or send me an email and I will get back to you within one business day. We will have a relaxed conversation about your vision, your location ideas, and what matters most to you. No need to have your date picked yet or any plans finalized, I’m happy to help guide you into an experience that fits you and your partner.
2. Lock In Your Date
Once we decide we are a good fit, I send over a simple contract and retainer invoice to hold your date. From there I handle the photography side of planning, checking in as your day gets closer so nothing falls through the cracks.
3. Show Up and Be Present
That is genuinely all you need to do on your elopement day. I take care of the rest. I arrive early, find the light, and stay close without hovering. You focus on each other and I focus on documenting it honestly.
How We Work Together
Why Couples in Windsor Choose Me
I Have Actually Done This
This My husband and I chose to elope with our dog because we wanted a day that was intentional and completely our own. That choice changed how I look at weddings. When I work with you, I’m not just showing up as a photographer; I’m coming at it with the perspective of someone who has been in your shoes and knows how to protect your experience. That experience informs how I approach every Northern Colorado elopement I photograph.
I Know This Area Well
I have spent years exploring Northern Colorado, from Windsor and Fort Collins to Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the quieter spots in between that most people drive past without stopping. I know where the light works well at different times of day, which locations require permits and how to get them, and how to help you find a spot that actually fits rather than just photographs well.
My Priority is to Make Your Comfortable
Most people feel a little awkward in front of a camera and that is completely normal. My approach is low-key. I’ll gently guide you through poses and prompts that feel natural and easy. The result tends to be photos that look like you two rather than a catalog shoot, which is the whole point.
