Why I Became an Elopement Photographer in Colorado

I don't even know where to begin with how amazing Andrea was for our elopement project! When we had our first call with Andrea we had no idea where to begin and if she was up for our challenge—planning an elopement in less than 5 weeks. But she was game, and she was incredible!

We told her how important it was us to have quality time together and that we wanted our day filled with hiking. She helped us choose the most beautiful locations for pictures and our ceremony. She recommended vendors and restaurants. She was PREPARED! At 3:45 am when my husband and I were both feeling the altitude sickness she had ginger candy for us to suck on. At 5 am when I was freezing after first looks she had a pair of gloves and handwarmers for me to borrow. At the top of our hike in the middle of the afternoon when my husband drank the last of his water, she had a water bottle that could filter stream water ready for him to use.

Andrea is the trifecta—she can plan, she is prepared, and damn does she take some amazing photographs. I can't speak highly enough of Andrea—she is kind, genuine, and good at what she does. So if you're looking for a photographer and you've made it this far.... take the leap! And if this doesn't convince you, just take a look at the photos....

What a wonderful experience!! Andrea ensured that we were prepped and ready for our wedding photography. That might sound silly, but if you have ever worked with someone who understands their art and is able to bring your best side forward with ease and a sense of adventure, then you know what I mean. I hate having my picture taken...always have. But, she made it feel fun and loose, bringing us all together with a laugh and honest smiles.

Andrea’s level of communication before, during, and after the event was perfect. Always a new email with a supportive and exciting message. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone for any event. It was truly a pleasure.

Andrea is sweet, attentive, motivated, talented and very prepared! We LOVED working with her and thought it was absolutely worth it! She made our whole elopement process so smooth and worry free. Andrea provides checklists, resources and advice to rely on for your big day! Such a sweet hearted and kind person, always has a smile on her face. On our big day she was our cheerleader!

Please consider Andrea for any of your photography needs, she is worth it! Trust me. My elopement day was an absolute DREAM and I am so lucky to have had a photographer as attentive as Andrea. God Bless her!

Andrea was hands down the perfect photographer for our elopement! She went above and beyond to capture our wedding day. Not only did she do a great job on the day of the wedding but she was instrumental in helping us plan out the entire day, from picking vendors to selecting our ceremony location. She was extremely knowledgeable about the different areas of Crested Butte and guided us to our dream ceremony location.

All of her vendor recommendations were superb, which helped make our special day even more magical. I still can't get over how beautiful our wedding photos came out, every time I look at them I'm immediately taken back to the day and I get so emotional!

Andrea is an absolute sweetheart and you can tell she truly cares about her clients and her work. We could not recommend her more!!

Andrea was the perfect wedding photographer. She really put effort into making sure our pictures were astounding. Hanging off the edge of the rocks for the best pictures, last minute pictures in front of the most vibrant rainbow I’ve ever seen, and even offering her own sandals to make the hike easier are what makes her stand out from the rest. She will do WHATEVER it takes to make your experience and photos the best possible.

When we started planning our micro wedding, all we knew was we wanted to be in the mountains and have a photographer to capture the day. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and the whole process. Andrea helped us create the perfect day from scouting locations, to hooking us up with local vendors and even having suggestions for the smaller details (dog bow ties, vow books, etc).

We immediately connected on our first phone call. Andrea is so personable and made the process fun and exciting. She made us feel so comfortable and it is a day that we will never forget. It was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Andrea!

Worth. Every. Penny. I am so in love with the elopement photos Andrea took, and I'm glad we decided to go for her biggest package.

We had our intimate elopement in Crested Butte one day, and we also did a "bridal session" the day before – just me – and I'm so thankful that we immortalized my gorgeous dress with a dedicated photo shoot in this breathtaking location! (I never would have thought to do this, so thank you Andrea for the idea!)

Not only is Andrea incredibly talented and professional, but she is a total blast to work with. She made taking photos so fun, and the images couldn't be more stunning. Can't recommend her enough.

Andrea took so many fun, candid, creative and endearing shots of Jamie + Lucas and our families. And then there was the sheer JOY of "working" with her!!! Andrea made the photo experience so joyful and special!! After it was all over, I think we all agreed that she was such a blessing to our wedding celebration! Personally speaking, I wish I could have gotten to know her better!!

I will be referring Andrea to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer for their weddings! Thanks again, Andrea, for adding JOY and FUN to our special wedding celebration!!
