Beautifully documented, intentional weddings in breathtaking locations
Hey, I’m Ciara! I help couples like you create wedding and elopement experiences that are fun, stress-free, personal, and intentional. As a Colorado local with over six years of experience, I specialize in planning and documenting outdoor elopements and micro weddings. Behind the camera, I’m passionate about capturing timeless, artistic images that tell a story– inspired by landscape photography and a documentary-style approach.
I seriously resonate with couples who prioritize their experience and do things differently when a huge wedding doesn’t feel right. Many of us feel like a traditional wedding just wouldn’t be authentic to our relationships or values. When eloping, you can truly make your day whatever you want, and I love the freeing feeling that that brings!
Artful photography & expert planning assistance to help you create a meaningful wedding day that feels like “you”
In addition to creative, artistic photography coverage, all of my elopement packages include unlimited planning help and guidance. You will receive not only beautiful photos– but a custom timeline, curated list of elopement locations, recommended local vendors, activity ideas, and lodging recommendations 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, showing you how to apply for your marriage license, offering support with permits, making sure you have an amazing time, and more.
Why Couples Love Working With Me
Insider Knowledge and Guidance
As a Colorado local, Type A personality, and experienced elopement photographer, I have a deep understanding of Colorado’s landscapes, rules, and regulations, along with how to seamlessly navigate wedding planning in the great outdoors.
Photos That Feel Like Art
I’m known for my ability to capture both the small, intimate moments and the big dramatic landscapes. Not only will your photos bring (happy) tears, but they will serve as beautiful works of art that you can proudly display in your home.
Organic Posing, Relaxed Photo Coverage
Many couples I’ve worked with have left pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoyed the photo experience, even if they’re typically camera-shy. My organic, comfortable posing style will keep you at ease, so you’ll never wonder what to do next.
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!
