Colorado elopement photographer
Helping down-to-earth couples plan epic elopements and create memories for life
More and more couples know that a big, traditional wedding isn’t right for them. I plan and photograph epic elopements and micro weddings across Colorado for couples who want to choose their own adventure, have the best day ever, and create memories for life.
How I can help you create an epic elopement
I photograph love and I photograph people—all love and all people. I believe in celebrating the diversity in our world and I will never discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Whatever your love looks like, I want to photograph it.

“Planning our Colorado elopement from out of state, we had many questions, but Nina has an enormous amount of resources, and the experience to know all of the small, special details that will make your wedding day exactly what you want!”
Are you planning an elopement or a micro wedding?
Elopement
(for a couple and up to 10 guests)
An elopement is an intentionally small wedding where the focus is on the two of you having the best day ever, either alone or with a few guests.
Because of the small group size, elopements can often take place in free locations in nature that aren’t available to larger groups. Whether you want to hike to an alpine lake, drive a rough 4WD road to the top of a mountain, or take the gondola at your favorite ski resort, I’ll help you find the perfect place to exchange your vows in nature.
Micro Weddings
(for a couple and 10-40ish guests)
A micro wedding is like an elopement for couples that can’t imagine getting married without all their closest friends and family. Couples often choose to go on an adventure without their guests at sunrise or sunset, then celebrate the rest of the day together with their favorite people.
Because of the larger group size, you’ll need a reserved ceremony site, venue, or special use permit for your micro wedding. Lucky for you, Colorado has epic options even for larger groups, and I’ll help you find the perfect location!
Planning a bigger wedding at a venue? I photograph a handful of weddings every year for couples that want a down-to-earth and fun celebration without the stress. If you want chill elopement vibes at your wedding, contact me and let’s make it happen.
About Nina Larsen Reed
I don’t believe in regrets, but I do have one.
When my husband and I eloped nine years ago, we felt lost on how to make our wedding day special. So we got married inside the Boulder courthouse, while the sun was shining over the snow-covered mountains we love right outside.
Since then, I’ve made it my mission in life to help couples like you create elopements that feel like the best day ever, so you can look back on your wedding day without regrets and remember every epic moment of your adventure.

You need more than just a photographer
You need more than just a Colorado elopement photographer on your team.
Your photographer should be your source of ideas and inspiration, local knowledge, and experience. Your photographer will recommend trusted vendors, build you a relaxed timeline, find the perfect location, research permits, and help you make your elopement a special adventure in all the best ways.
Your photographer will be by your side for every moment of the happiest day of your life.
When you work with me, you are so much more than a date on my calendar and I want to be so much more than a stranger with a camera. Because when you can trust that I care about your elopement as if it was my own, you’ll be able to relax and have the best day ever!
