Alaska, Colorado, and Destination Adventure Elopement Photographer

elope in colorado

No pressure. Just your vision, your values, and the kind of day that actually feels like you. I’ll listen, reflect, and help you dream bigger than tradition allows.

Your elopement should be an unforgettable adventure, not a list of to-dos. Here’s how we turn your vision into reality:

More Than Just Photos. This Is the Experience.

It starts with a conversation.

Together, we shape a vision rooted in who you are and how you want to feel. I help you find the place that matches it—a destination that speaks to your soul. The kind that makes you pause and say, “This is it.”

Then, we dream with intention.

Timelines. Permits. Logistics. All the stuff that gets in the way of being present—I’ve got it. You just get to show up for each other.

I take care of the details.

No scripts. No pressure. Just connection, beauty, and space to breathe. You’re not performing. You’re living it.

When the day comes, it flows.

Your photos won’t just show what happened. They’ll bring you back to it. The atmosphere. The emotion. The freedom. Every time.

Afterward, your story lives on.

Leave No Trace.

As a Leave No Trace photographer, I’m committed to crafting your elopement in a way that honors the natural beauty of your surroundings. Adventure should never come at the cost of the places we love, which is why I follow the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace to ensure that we leave the world as beautiful as we found it—from choosing sustainable locations to respecting wildlife and minimizing our impact every step of the way.

Let’s create a day that’s not only unforgettable but also mindful of the planet that holds our memories.


Absolutely! Permits can feel like a headache, but I’ve got you covered. Whether it’s a national park, a scenic overlook, or a remote beach, I’ll research what’s required, help you apply, and make sure everything is squared away so you can focus on your day. You don’t have to worry about getting bogged down by paperwork—that’s my job!

Do you help with permits for locations?

01.

Eloping abroad adds an extra layer of excitement and adventure! I’ll guide you through every step of the process, including researching legal requirements for marriage in your destination and providing tips for smooth travel and logistics. Whether it’s understanding international permits, time zones, or scouting the perfect spot, I’m here to make sure your day is as seamless as possible. If legalities feel overwhelming, we can always plan a legal ceremony at home and focus on a symbolic, stress-free celebration abroad.

What happens if we’re planning an elopement abroad?

02.

Of course! Symbolic ceremonies are a beautiful way to celebrate your love without worrying about the legalities on your elopement day. Many couples choose to make their vows in a location that feels meaningful to them after officially tying the knot elsewhere. This gives you the freedom to create a ceremony that’s deeply personal and truly “you.” Whether it’s a private exchange of vows or a more traditional setup, we’ll craft something that feels magical and unforgettable.

Can we include a symbolic ceremony if we’ve already had a legal one?

03.

The length of your elopement day depends entirely on your vision! Most couples opt for anywhere between 4 to 12 hours of coverage, but you can also book a multi-day experience if your plans involve multiple locations or activities. From getting ready and first looks to the ceremony, portraits, and any adventures you’ve planned, we’ll design a timeline that flows naturally. Your day will never feel rushed—it’s all about enjoying every moment together.

How long does the elopement day usually last?

04.

Definitely! Whether you’ve booked your location or just need help with the final details, I’ll meet you where you are and make sure everything comes together seamlessly.

We’ve already started planning. Can you still help us?

05.

Of course! I’m all about making sure your elopement day is as magical as possible. If you already have photos, that’s awesome—it won’t affect anything on my end. 

We’re working with another photographer for our engagement session—can we still book you?

06.

I can absolutely help with this! Depending on the location and your preferences, I can connect you with amazing officiants who specialize in elopements. If you're planning a self-solemnizing ceremony (legal in states like Colorado) or prefer something symbolic, we can skip the officiant altogether and craft a moment that’s 100% personal and meaningful. No matter what, your ceremony will be uniquely yours.

Will we need to hire an officiant, or can you help with that?

07.

Absolutely. I’m here to make this process as smooth and exciting as possible. Emails will get a guaranteed response info@roamtowed.com. Just shoot me a message, and we’ll talk through whatever’s on your mind.

We still have a question! Can we reach out?
