Hey, I’m Ciara! I’m a Denver-based elopement and micro wedding photographer with a passion for community, friendships, creative photography, and the outdoors. As a dog mom, skier, and avid hiker, photographing and exploring with couples in the great outdoors feels like second nature to me. I’ve been passionate about photography for over a decade and have focused on elopements, portraits, and intimate weddings for the past 5 years.
I seriously resonate with couples who prioritize their experience and do things differently when a huge wedding doesn’t feel right. Although big celebrations can be a lot of fun, many of us feel like a traditional wedding just wouldn’t be authentic to our relationships or values.
That is why I decided to focus on elopement photography and why I love it so much!
In addition to photography, I offer unlimited elopement planning help and guidance. You will receive not only beautiful photos but a custom timeline and curated list of elopement locations, based on your unique vision and preferences. A few things I can help with are: finding the perfect location and backup location, helping you choose the right attire, creating a timeline, making it legal as an ordained officiant, making sure you have an amazing time, and more.
Below are a few things I focus on and some benefits of working with me. 🫶🏼
Storytelling
My goal is to tell your story through photos– I allow the day to unfold and gently guide you through posing and prompts. I make sure my couples are 100% comfortable and feeling themselves, which shines through in my images!
Digital and 35mm film
Although digital photography is my bread and butter, I am experienced in shooting multiple formats such as 35mm film and Polaroid. All of my couples receive digital images, film scans, and physical polaroids to take home with them.
Unlimited Guidance
I offer unlimited planning help and guidance to all of the couples I work with, ensuring that every aspect of your day reflects your vision and desires, allowing you to focus on living in and enjoying the moment.
Rooted in Experience
With a photography journey that began in 2010, and specializing in elopements since 2019, be confident knowing you’re working with a seasoned professional who brings a wealth of experience and skill to every shoot.
