You know you want to elope, but what are the best mountains to elope in?
That is where I can help you! My name is Jamie and my favorite thing is helping my clients elope in the mountains. From the tropical settings of Hawaii to the snowy caps of Colorado, or even somewhere in between with greenery + fall temps.
Why + how to elope in the mountains
Why choose the mountains? BECAUSE ADVENTURE GANDALF! 😉
But your a kind of human that loves sweater weather, pour over coffee, and living life with kindness + intention.
You don’t dream of a church in the plains, followed by a packed reception. You dream of spending your wedding day with your partner, maybe close friends, and laughing your way through quality time + great food.
That could be just one reason to choose the mountains.. now how about HOW to choose the mountains?
Most mountain parks will require a permit to wed in.
This ensures they know who is in the parks and maintenance! We may also need a separate photography permit outside of a wedding permit but don’t let this scare you, I am very familiar with the permit process and I actually help you every step in thus area!!
Check out the article here if you want more info straight from the national parks.
Best Mountains to Elope in: Snowy
1: Colorado
Depending on the time of year Colorado can go from snowy to wild flower greens easily! Plus you don’t have to venture too far from Denver if you’re flying in to get a good spot.
2: Alaska
Alaska could go in the snowy or greenery category, too. We could hop on a helicopter and tour a glacier, or explore ranges that have more of that lush mountain vibe.
3: South Dakota
If you’re into winter sports don’t let South Dakota pass you by!! We could plan a trip to a ski resort, and cheers some beers while working our way down the mountain.

This is my biggest passion, photographing mountain elopements with badass clients. You deserve a photographer who loves and respects nature just as much as you do.
Plus, no two mountains are the same, so your photography coverage shouldn’t be the same as anyone else’s either.
