Colorado wedding & Elopement Photographer
Epic Elopements & Intimate Weddings
Capturing once-in-a-lifetime experiences for down-to-earth couples across the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Natural photos for couples who want to revel in their day
I photograph weddings and elopements across Colorado for couples who value the moments and memories even more than the photos—whether your wedding day is spent adventuring alone or celebrating with all your favorite people.
I photograph love and I photograph people—all love and all people.
As an LGBTQ+ photographer, 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.
“To say the day of our elopement in Colorado was epic is an understatement because Nina single-handedly turned our already amazing day into the most incredible adventure!”

What I Offer
Elopements
An elopement is an intentional wedding day 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 on public lands that aren’t available to larger groups, without having a negative impact in the land.
Whether you want to hike to an alpine lake, off-road to the top of a mountain in a rented Jeep, or wander around your neighborhood in Denver after eloping at the courthouse, I’ll help plan and capture the day so that you can enjoy every moment—and remember exactly what it felt like.
Micro Weddings
A micro wedding is like an elopement for couples that can’t imagine getting married without their closest friends and family there to celebrate.
It’s not just a smaller wedding though—a micro wedding is all about having an intentional, relaxed celebration without having to follow the rules of a traditional wedding day. My couples usually spend part of their wedding day on an adventure, then celebrate at a venue or vacation rental afterwards.
Weddings
Weddings are all about celebrating with your favorite people, but I believe you can also make time for you two.
From an hour for a first look before your venue fills with familiar faces, to a whole day off-roading, hiking, or skiing after the wedding to celebrate that you’re finally married, I want you to savor every moment—and get photos that help you remember the experience for life.
Adventure Sessions
An adventure session is an opportunity to spend quality time with your partner, and get photos that capture how much you love each other (or your kids, your dogs, or even your neighborhood coffee shop or bookstore).
What you love is worth celebrating—and not only when you’re getting married.

Elopements & Micro-Weddings
“Nina was a constant source of knowledge and positivity throughout the planning and execution of our micro-wedding in Colorado. She became so much more to us than just a photographer, and the care and attention to detail she puts into her work was clear from the very first conversation we shared.”

About Nina Larsen Reed
When I moved from Norway to Colorado in 2010, I fell in love hard: first with the Rocky Mountains, and soon after with my partner.
We eloped at the Boulder courthouse after knowing each other for less than a year, and our only mistake was not hiring a photographer. Now I help couples like you avoid following in my footsteps!

“Our elopement was the best day of our lives and it honestly felt like a fairytale, and that is 100% whole-heartedly down to Nina. Not only is she (obviously) an incredibly talented photographer, but she is friendly, approachable, flexible, creative, and dedicated. Look no further!”
