Location Guides

I’ve written guides to many of the most popular places to elope in Colorado, because they’re the ones I’m asked about most often. Most popular elopement locations in Colorado require a wedding permit, photography permit, or both. This can be a good thing! It means you’re guaranteed a space for your elopement, and usually in an accessible location which is easy to reach with your guests.

If you’re hoping for a more private elopement location, whether you want to hike, off-road, snowshoe, or even ski to get there, I’d love to help you find the perfect spot. I put together personalized location guides for my couples, with locations you won’t easily find listed online.
