Hey there, I’m Ethan! As an outdoor lover, I find my time in nature to be some of the most meaningful moments life has to offer.

To share that love with couples looking to elope – whether you’re newcomers to the outdoors or veterans who have slept more times under the stars than in your own beds – is what fuels my soul!

My goal as an elopement photographer is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding experience in nature! With eloping, I find that you have so much flexibility to celebrate your day of marriage. Using my background in outdoor and landscape photography, I not only focus on the adventure side of elopements, but also capture the moments along the day.

Whether it’s a beautiful sunrise, or that type 2 fun where you earn that epic backdrop in the mountains, I help couples plan adventurous elopements in nature. Living in a beautiful state like Colorado presents so many opportunities to discover a new adventure. With so many activities to choose from all-year round, I never take this place for granted!

Check out my website for more information or drop a message below! I would love to learn more about your story and how I can help with your biggest adventure yet!

“We were absolutely blown away with our wedding photos. Ethan was very detailed in all aspects of planning, making our planning and the day of our wedding less stressful. He helped with location scouting, made a detailed timeline for the day that fit our vision, and kept up an open line of communication throughout the entire process which made us feel at ease. Our big day went smoothly, our expectations were exceeded, and we will look back on these photos forever thankful we had a great photographer. All of our family and friends keep asking ‘Where did you find this photographer? These photos are amazing!’. So beyond happy with our entire experience.”

“Our day wouldn’t have been the same without Ethan! He was tremendously knowledgeable (locations, permits, etc.) and helpful throughout the planning process, which took a lot of weight off our shoulders knowing someone who knows what they’re doing is overseeing the planning. His passion for what he does is so apparent and his vision for the possibilities for our day was so helpful. It felt like a lot of unknowns in the beginning since (surprise) we’d never done this before, and Ethan went the extra mile in helping us plan it.

Ethan’s energy and gentle guidance (while also giving us and my parents the space to have our moment as well) was so appreciated and allowed us to relax and really enjoy the moment, nature, and each other! Ethan remembered details we would have forgotten (hello first dance in the spotlight of our car headlights!). From the start of the planning to the delivery of our photos, Ethan was attentive to any needs/questions we had, and we could not be happier with the photos and services we were provided with. We were captured so perfectly.”

Lauren + Jon

“His photographs were stunning and they speak for themselves, but his attention to detail did not stop at this photography. He was able to provide enough direction so that no one looked awkward, but also enough freedom for some great candid shots with none of them looking overly staged and stuffy. He was fun and engaging and even had some interesting facts about the location which made it feel more like a fun tour and made us all forget about the cold. I would highly recommend him!”

Your love is an adventure, where will it take you?

Driving their campervan from the midwest, Leah and Daniel eloped at sunrise in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I love helping couples trailblaze their wedding experience and create something true to them.
