Colorado Elopement Photographer
for down-to-earth couples (and their dogs) since 2016“We are so lucky to have chosen Nina, not only for her amazing photography, but her knowledge of Colorado and her help in planning it all. Nina was the TOTAL package!”
Every Colorado elopement photographer has the same magical backdrop. But we’re all bringing our own, different magic from behind the camera.
I’m not going to tell you that my photos are better than anyone else’s. What I can tell you? That I’ve photographed more than 100 couples across the Rocky Mountains. That I help my couples plan their dream weddings and elopements in a place I know and love. That these mountains still make me say “Can you believe this is real life?!”
If you choose me, you’ll be so much more than a date on my calendar and I want to be so much more than a stranger with a camera. I don’t care where you’re getting married or how many people will be there. All I care about is that you’re excited about how you’re getting married, and that you can trust me to show that excitement through my photos.
(Oh and let’s get one thing super clear: I’m an LGBTQ+ friendly photographer.)
Who’s behind the camera?
Nina here!
If we’re going to be spending all this time together, you really have to like me. I’m not going to waste your time with the whole story of how I moved from an island in Norway to Boulder and fell in love. Though if you’re into that kind-of thing …
“Even though our elopement day was our first time meeting in person, being with Nina immediately felt like spending time with a true friend.”
What I Offer
I specialize in photographing weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions in Boulder, Denver, Rocky Mountain National Park, and mountain towns like Breckenridge, Aspen, Crested Butte, Estes Park, and Vail.
Colorado Weddings
Is having your friends and family at your wedding important to you? Then it’s important to me.
If you’re excited to get married surrounded by all your favorite people, I can’t wait to capture all the little moments of your day, whether it’s your mom getting teary-eyed during the ceremony, or your old college friends doing shots on the dance floor.
Colorado Elopements
Would you rather walk down the trail than aisle? There’s no better place than in the mountains of Colorado.
If a big wedding is not for you, I’d love to help you plan and capture an elopement that feels true to your relationship, whether that’s going on a long hike or exchanging your vows in front of your closest family in an alpine meadow.
It’s About More Than Just Photos
I don’t really believe in regrets, but I do have one. I didn’t hire a photographer when I eloped with my husband.
We don’t have an epic photo of us on a mountaintop, and worse, we don’t have any of the moments. The way we locked eyes when we said our vows or the laughter when we didn’t know which finger to put the rings on.
I’ve been giving my couples the best of both ever since as a Colorado elopement photographer. The gorgeous landscapes and the real stuff like your deep breaths before the ceremony begins. Hugging your family and friends. Your first “Holy shit we’re actually married” look that you exchange with your new spouse.
I want you to experience every moment of your day without feeling rushed or like it’s an endless photo shoot. We’ll get great portraits, but more importantly, you’ll be able to enjoy it all with the person you love.
So if you’re ready to skip the staged stuff and get to the good stuff…

My couples have said that I’m “super knowledgeable,” “incredibly helpful,” and “will be your personal Leslie Knope” (okay, my husband said that last one). Check out my resources to see what they’re talking about!
Want to elope in Colorado?
Did you visit Colorado, go hiking in the Rocky Mountains, and fall in love? I did.
Colorado is a damn good place to elope, and you don’t have to put up with permits, restrictions, and crowds of hikers when you know how to plan your elopement right!
I’ve captured over a hundred couples all over Colorado, and have spent ten years hiking new trails and driving my Subie up mountain passes to explore. I built this guide to everything you need to know about eloping in Colorado.
Planning a wedding in Boulder?
Are you tired of looking through ad listings on The Knot for venues that aren’t even in Boulder? I was.
So I spent six months visiting and photographing my way through the Boulder County wedding venues. And there are some real gems out there, folks!
Check out my free guide of every wedding venue in Boulder County, so that you can plan your wedding in the best city in the country.
Not that I’m biased or anything…
