Alpine Vows

When my husband and I decided to elope, one of our top priorities was finding the right photographer to capture all of our moments, so we could share them with family and friends. Believe me when I say we hit the freakin’ jackpot with Bailee! She was confident, fun and kind in our initial video call making us feel at ease. She answered all of my questions and made awesome location suggestions when we told her all we knew is we wanted mountains and snow. After we booked with Alpine Vows the process was super smooth! Bailee took the time to create a personalized list of locations based on a survey she had us fill out with wants and needs. She provided the most information about the areas, requirements for permits and everything we needed to know about how and where to get our Colorado marriage license. She is super knowledgeable on CO marriage laws and regulations. Her communication was excellent! She touched base with us numerous times before our elopment date which helped us to feel less stressed and ready for the big day. She even gave us check lists for supplies and a vendor list for the area we chose! The day we got married Bailee was super flexible and understanding when we were running a little late. Her attitude is excellent and she seems genuinely happy to be with you on your special day. We had the best time working with her! My husband had a broken leg (3 weeks post op) which left him on crutches in the snow but this didn’t deter Bailee at all. She was so sweet and accommodating. Our photos turned out INCREDIBLE. Looking at them leaves me elated every time! Bailee’s ability to be both extremely genuine and professional was a perfect balance. She made me feel so comfortable and so beautiful. My only complaint is that we can’t hire her for every event! Bailee, you are the tits. Your work is incredible. You are a delight. I’m so happy we chose you! Thank you for making our day absolutely perfect!!!

We couldn't have asked for a more talented and wonderful team to capture our elopement! From our first call to the day of our elopement, Bailee and Jake made us feel comfortable and at ease. We knew we were in great hands from the start. Bailee was incredibly communicative throughout the planning process, helping us map out the timeline for our day and answering all of my questions in a timely manner. She has an amazing eye for detail, and every shot was beautifully composed. I really appreciated that she was able to use 35mm film for some of our photos, as the vintage feel of the film shots added an extra layer of magic. I also especially loved the candid, intimate moments she captured, and I’m so happy to have these beautiful photos to look back on and remember our wedding day.

Jake was equally amazing! He skillfully wove together the highlights of our day and ceremony into a stunning, cinematic video that we will treasure forever. The video included drone shots, which beautifully captured the mountain scenery surrounding our elopement.

Our family and friends were really impressed by their work, and many said they felt like they were reliving the day alongside us just by viewing the photos and video from our elopement. We are so grateful to have worked with Bailee and Jake and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Bailee Ward is a real-life superhero. Not only did she take breath-taking photos, she made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera (we are NOT ones to have our photos taken). We booked Bailee far in advance before the wedding and let me tell you, she was ON IT. She sent us reminders, suggestions, and even video-called with us when we had questions. She was extremely organized, all while being so genuinely kind. We could tell she truly found passion in her work. Fast forward to the wedding day…Bailee met us at our location and took initiative right away. She guided us to the most perfect spots, gave us space to truly enjoy one and another, and did it all with so much ease. Bailee has an eye for detail and knew exactly when and where to capture photos that provided the best backgrounds and lighting. Her time-management was spectacular. Our wedding/elopement photos are telling of that.

Bailee was the piece that held our entire trip/elopement together. We would’ve been lost without her. We found a friend in her and would absolutely recommend her (and already have) to anyone that is getting married. She is the sweetest soul and we are blessed that she was such an integral part of our favorite day.

I would give Bailee 5 stars even if I never saw a single photo. Everything about the experience we had with her was perfect. She helped us find the perfect location, and when it was no longer available, she found a location even more perfect. Her energy and enthusiasm made our day so fun. It never seemed like work for her, it was like hanging out and having fun with your best friend all day. She took us all around different locations to explore and it was incredible. Our gallery is filled with stunning photos that perfectly captured our entire day that we can relive over and over again. If you are looking for an elopement photographer, do not hesitate to book her, you won't regret it!

If you’re thinking about doing an adventure elopement instead of a traditional wedding - do it and book Bailee as your photographer!!! Bailee is so kind and fun to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and everything about the day felt so natural. We had never met Bailee in person, but spending 8 hours of the day hiking and taking photos truly felt like hanging out with a friend. The conversation never lulled and the day was filled with laughs. The photo end results are absolutely stunning! We are obsessed with every single photo. Booking Bailee as our elopement photographer is one of the best decisions we made because we have amazing memories and photographs to remember the day by. We are so thankful!!

My husband and I could not have picked a better duo! Bailee and Jake photographed and videotaped our Maroon Bells elopement and their results left me speechless!! They are both such wonderful people who made us feel so comfortable, it really felt like we had all been friends for years. Our ceremony was a bit more of a micro-wedding, they were both so sweet and patient with everyone and made sure we got pictures with each and every person there. After our ceremony it was just the 4 of us, our adventure involved an hour, maybe a bit longer of a steep hike, but don’t be alarmed, they go at your pace! I had to take a few breaks and they did not mind at all! They are also very well prepared which I loved because with all the pre-elopement chaos going on, I forgot to pack my hiking shoes and snacks but luckily Bailee kept a spare pair in her car along with snacks and water! I should also mention my husband and I are from California and had the crazy idea of eloping in Colorado, we are not familiar with the state what so ever! We trusted Bailee with the post ceremony location and it was absolutely breathtaking!

Bailee and Jake, my husband I cannot thank you guys enough for how special you made our day. You both captured every moment so beautifully it truly brought tears to my eyes (of joy)! I appreciate you both so much and truly hope to see you guys again!

Bailee and Jake were nothing short of incredible- If I could give 10 stars I would. From the very first consultation, Bailee impressed me. She was authentic and thoughtful about her approach, careful and detailed with the planning, and a true professional throughout. Our special day was perfection with the guidance of the Alpine Vows team. These two were so much fun, helpful, and just genuinely good people. Meeting them in person felt like catching up with old friends, and we were amazed at how truly comfortable they made us feel throughout the whole day. The final product knocked us off our feet. The moments Bailee captured, and the video footage Jake captured still has us in tears and we will be forever grateful. For anyone planning a CO elopement, 10/10 recommend Alpine Vows.
