What is an elopement?
An elopement isn't about running away. It's about choosing intention over expectation, connection over performance, and presence over pressure. An elopement is a deeply personal way to begin your marriage where the focus isn't on a timeline, a venue or a guest list... but on just the two of you.
What can it look like?
What do you want it to look like? This day is all about the two of you. It might look like standing together on a quiet overlook, reading your vows as the sun begins to set. It might be laughter in the wind, the happy tears you didn't expect, and a moment that feels still in the middle of everything. It might be cutting into a small cake together, sharing a toast, and wandering hand-in-hand as the light fades on the most beautiful day. There's no rush. No pressure. Just soak it all in and live in the moment.
There's no script. No pressure to perform.
Just space to be fully present with each other.
Every part documented honestly, artfully and with intention.
What it's not:
It's not rushed.
It's not "less than" a traditional wedding, no matter the reason why you are deciding to elope in beautiful Colorado.
It's more intentional, more grounded, more you.
How do we do this?
In Colorado, it can be beautifully simple.
Colorado is one of the few places where you can self-solemnize, meaning you don't need an officiant or witnesses. You can marry yourselves. Just the two of you, in a place that feels meaningful. If you want to include your parents or children, that's perfect too.
There's no "right" way to do this, only your way. Whatever that looks like, I'm here to help you create it with intention, beauty and ease.

How do we get a marriage license in Colorado?
One of the most beautiful thing about eloping in Colorado, is how simple the legal side truly is.
1. Pick up your marriage license.
To legally get married you'll need a marriage license from any Colorado county clerk's office. You do NOT have to be a Colorado resident. You can get it in any county, not just the one you're getting married in.
-Bring a valid ID like a driver's license or passport,
-Your social security numbers
-Around $30 for the license
Most offices offer appointments and some allow walk-ins so just check with the office you want to go to, ahead of time. It usually takes about 30 minutes. When you get it, you have 35 days to have your ceremony.
2: Colorado does not have a waiting period so you can even get your marriage license and get married the same day if you want to, but I always recommend getting it the day before, at least, so there's less stress and business things are already taken care of on your actual wedding day!
3. Colorado allows self-solemnization, which means:
-No officiant required
-No witnesses required
You simply say your vows and sign your marriage license together and your'e married!
If you want an officiant of someone to lead your ceremony, you absolutely can but it's not required.
4. After the ceremony you will return your signed marriage license to the clerk's office. You have 63 days to turn it in after your wedding.
What if we've never done anything like this before?
Most couples haven't, and that's ok!
You're not expected to know how to plan an elopement, how to choose the perfect location, or how the day should unfold.
That's what I'm here for! Maybe you have questions like "Where do we even go?", "What time of day is best?", "What do we wear?", "How do we make it feel meaningful...not awkward?". These are the exact questions I'm here to walk you through!
From the moment you reach out, I help you shape your day I a way that feels natural and true to you.
Together, we will:
- Choose a location that fits your vision, and is easy to access.
- Create a timeline that flows without pressure
- Talk through your ceremony so it feels comfortable and meaningful.
- Build space for real moments, not just the photos.
You won't be left wondering what to do. I gently guide when needed and step back when the moment is already perfect. Nothing forced. Nothing overly posed.
Just the two of you, being fully preset, with someone there to support you and document it, honestly and beautifully.
Just be in love and in the moment, and I will take care of the rest.
What about the weather?
The great thing about Colorado is that there are about 300 days of sunshine per year! We can plan for the season you'd like that has your favorite weather and we will be as flexible as necessary for the best weather of the day, if we see any rain in the forecast.
What if my family says they don't want me to elope?
This is one of the most common concerns that couples have. It makes sense. You love your family and value their opinions and at the same time this is the beginning of your marriage.
I believe that your wedding day isn't just a celebration, but a sacred starting point for your life together. Choosing to elope doesn't mean you're excluding your family, but that you're choosing to create a moment that feels aligned for the two of you.
If you're feeling torn, you're not alone. This decision stirs up emotion, and that's ok. At the end of the day, your marriage belongs to the two of you, and you deserve to begin your life together in a way that feels peaceful, meaningful and true.
If you choose to elope, your family will get to see your day and how connected you two were, how real it was and how deeply you chose one another.
A lot of my clients decide to have a reception or a dinner with friends and family to celebrate, at some point after their wedding day.
Whatever you choose for the two of you, is exactly the perfect choice,
