Absolutely—yes. Every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe while getting married in Colorado (or anywhere, honestly). I’m here for queer love in all its forms, and it’s incredibly important to me that the vendors involved in your micro wedding or elopement feel the same way.

If you’re planning a Colorado micro wedding or elopement and you want to make sure you’re surrounded by people who genuinely support you. From inclusive officiants, florists, lodging hosts, and planners, I only recommend LGBTQ+-affirming vendors I trust.

Your wedding day should feel comfortable and true to who you are. I’m all in on creating that kind of experience, documenting your connection, and making sure you feel taken care of every step of the way.

Colorado makes getting married stupid easy. You can self-solemnize here, which means you don’t need an officiant or witnesses. You pick up a marriage license from the county clerk’s office, sign it on your wedding day, and return it after. Boom. Married.

This is one of the biggest reasons Colorado elopements and micro weddings feel so personal and laid back, you have full control over making your day your own.

If you want a full breakdown of the process, I wrote a complete guide on how to legally get married in Colorado that covers exactly what to expect and how to make sure everything is official.

Fuck yeah. Eloping in Colorado doesn’t have to mean running off just the two of you (unless that’s the dream). Your elopement can absolutely include your favorite humans.

Whether that’s 5 people or 15, we can plan a day that feels intimate, relaxed, and centered on connection, with a killer view in the mountains or a cozy Airbnb where the celebration turns into a weekend hang.

A lot of Colorado elopement locations are incredibly accessible for families and friends, and I’ll help you navigate permits, logistics, and timelines so everyone has the best time.

At the end of the day, it’s simple: bring the people who show up for you. Leave the rest off the invite list, and let’s make this feel like the best weekend ever… just with vows.

The short answer: there’s no bad time, but each season has its own vibe.

Spring means fewer crowds + snowy mountain peaks, but the weather can change on a dime and it’s typically more muddy. Summer is golden hour hikes, wildflowers, and warm nights with your favorite people on a cabin patio. Fall is the most popular for Colorado elopements, imagine endless gold aspen trees and snow starting to dust the high peaks. Winter? Absolute magic. Snow, coziness, hot drinks, fireplaces… it’s chef’s kiss if you don’t mind a little adventure in the cold.

If you’re hoping for those wide-open mountain views without a million tourists, I usually suggest weekdays, sunrise, orrrrrr one of my off the beaten path locations (no, that doesn’t mean we have to hike 10 miles).

We’ll chat through the colors you’re imagining, the activities you want to include, and how much weather chaos you’re cool with (Colorado brings the chaos any time of the year honestly haha) — and pick the season that makes your day feel perfect.

Hellllll yes — this is one of my favorite parts of helping couples plan their Colorado micro wedding. There are so many cozy cabins, modern A-frames, mountain homes, and boutique lodges here that make the perfect home base for an intimate celebration.

While some vacation rental platforms have rules about hosting weddings, I’ll help you find venues, lodges, and private rentals that are actually wedding-friendly. I keep a running list of killer spots across the state, everywhere from Breckenridge and Estes Park to Buena Vista, Telluride, and beyond.

We’ll talk about how many guests you’re inviting, how accessible the location needs to be, the kind of scenery you love, and whether you want the celebration to turn into a full weekend hang. Then I’ll send over options that fit your exact vibe so you can relax and get excited about being all in one place with your favorite people.

Colorado weather is… a little unhinged. It can be sunny, rainy, hailing, windy, and then sunny again all within the same hour. But that’s part of the fun, it often makes the day even more memorable and the photos next level epic.

I always build backup options into your timeline and locations so we can pivot if we need to. We can shift to a more sheltered spot, pause for a bit and head back out when things clear, or lean into the cozy vibes with jackets, blankets, and a slower pace. Some of the best moments happen in the in-between.

But here’s the deal: if the weather reaches the point where you’re not going to enjoy your day or my gear is at risk, we don’t force it. We reschedule. Your elopement or micro wedding should feel like the best day ever—not a survival challenge haha. We’ll make the call together and make sure you still get the celebration you deserve.

Super 8 is real film — like honest-to-god rolls of Kodak stock loaded into a vintage camera that’s been capturing life long before we were here. After your wedding, I send those rolls to the film lab to be developed. It takes time, but that wait is part of the magic. That’s what gives it that nostalgic, cinematic, “instant memory” vibe everyone (me included) is obsessed with.

Soundwise, the original cameras don’t record audio, but if you want your vows, a letter to each other, or those “holy shit we’re married” laughs layered in, I’ll mic you up and weave it into the final film. It ends up feeling like the best home movie you’ve ever seen, the kind you watch years from now and instantly get thrown right back into that moment.

Most Super 8 wedding films end up around 3–5 minutes long. The perfect length to hit you in the gut with nostalgia and still leave you wanting to watch it again (and again).

Couples love Super 8 because it makes the energy of the day come to life. Imagine reliving how the wind felt in your hair or your hands squeezing tight, the champagne popping a little too hard, and your people laughing in the background. The grain, the flicker, the light leaks… it all feels like rewatching a memory instead of watching a camera try to document it. It’s gloriously imperfect in the most magical way — emotional and nostalgic. And that’s exactly why it hits so damn hard.

Absolutely. While a lot of my couples book both photography and Super 8 videography together, you can 1000% hire me just as your Colorado Super 8 wedding videographer. If you already have a photographer you love, no problem—I’ll be there capturing the motion, the energy, and all the little moments that deserve to live on film, turning your celebration into a nostalgic home movie you’ll never get over.

I offer standalone Super 8 film coverage for elopements, micro weddings, and even full wedding weekends. And yes, I’ll travel anywhere. If your celebration takes us from any corner of Colorado to the red desert landscapes of Utah, the rocky Oregon coast, or even international, I’ll happily pack my film and meet you there.
