Paige Weber Photography Hi there! I'm a Colorado-based Elopement Photographer.
(13)

While Colorado is my home and my first love, I'm a huge fan of traveling all over the world to capture adventurous elopements & weddings!

The way I see it, you’ve got two choices:⁠

You can follow the age-old wedding playbook that might lead to stress, crippling anxiety, and a “when can we get to the honeymoon?” feeling.⁠

Or, you can write your own rulebook and design the most badass elopement adventure, filled with soul-sparking, crinkle-eyed, pinch-me moments that make you wildly grateful you chose to do things your way.⁠

Imagine a day that starts with just you and your favorite person. You meet in nature’s playground for an emotional first look, sharing your soul’s most cherished memories and making promises that echo through the wilderness. ⁠

Just when you think your heart couldn’t get any fuller, you embark on an adventure through one of the country’s most iconic parks, hand-in-hand with the one who makes even the simplest moments feel extraordinary. Walking above the clouds, you breathe in the wild mountain air and take it all in—the memories you’re reliving and the ones you’re making.⁠

Since this day is crafted just for you, you find a cozy spot to brew a cup of the good stuff and toast the love of your life with a cinnamon roll, because coffee, mountains, and sweet treats are an unbeatable combination. ☕️⁠

And because no adventure is complete without your people, you invite your loved ones into the grand plan. They help you get ready, stand by your side during an intimate lakeside ceremony, and maybe even walk you down the aisle. You exchange gifts, share in laughter, and make them a part of the journey.⁠

This isn’t just a day; it’s a beginning—a celebration of everything you’ve been, everything you are, and everything you’re becoming together. So, when you look back, it’s not about tradition, trends, or expectations. It’s about a love that’s uniquely, unapologetically yours.⁠

Here’s to chasing a day that’s only bound by the limits of your wildest dreams. 🌄✨⁠

If the idea of crisp mountain air, golden aspen trees, jaw-dropping views that leave you speechless, and an intimate celebration with the people who matter most sounds like your perfect day, then eloping in Colorado during the fall is exactly where you need to be. 🍂⁠

Sydney + Marquez made that dream come to life, choosing an intimate elopement surrounded by their closest loved ones—and let me tell you, their love was absolutely contagious.⁠ It’s one thing to see a couple deeply in love, but it’s another to feel that love radiate through the people they’ve chosen to celebrate with.⁠

When the people who know you best are right there, laughing, crying, and celebrating alongside you, it’s a clear sign you’ve made the right decision to surround yourself with the kind of love that matters most. 💛⁠

So, if you’re torn about inviting guests, here’s a tip: only invite the people who lift you up, fill your heart, and will celebrate your love as fiercely as you do. Those are the ones who deserve a front-row seat to your adventure.⁠

If a fall elopement in the Colorado mountains feels like the vibe you’ve been dreaming of, let’s make it happen. I’m here to help you throw out the rulebook and create a day that’s fully and unapologetically yours. 💥⁠

Here’s the truth: you don’t need to hike endless trails and sweat through miles of incline on your elopement day to get some badass views. 🌄⁠

Just lace up your hiking boots and take a jeep instead! 😉 That’s exactly what Sarah and Stew did, and trust me, they had zero regrets cruising up to their ceremony location in a rugged Jeep Wrangler.⁠

Their lakeside ceremony was beautifully intimate, surrounded by loved ones who cheered them on as they said, “I do.” After signing the marriage license and making it official, they set off to continue their adventure together. With breathtaking panoramic views stretching as far as the eye could see, they took a moment to exchange their heartfelt vows in a private space that felt just right for them. 🥰⁠

As the day unfolded, we embraced the magic of Crested Butte. Before the sun dipped below the mountains, we grabbed a few lanterns and captured their love in the golden light of sunset. It was a moment that perfectly encapsulated their journey—filled with joy, laughter, and a sense of wonder—and they didn’t even break a sweat!⁠

So, whether you choose to hike or take a scenic drive, remember that your elopement can be anything you want it to be. It’s all about creating a day that reflects your unique love story, and I’m here to help make that happen!

What if I told you that your wedding doesn’t have to be extravagant to be extraordinary? You don’t need a grand venue, a mile-long guest list, or a day packed with traditions to create something truly special.⁠ 🥰⁠

For couples like you—whose idea of romance doesn’t follow the movies—that’s where the magic happens. ⁠

Maybe you’ve already decided the big, traditional wedding isn’t for you. The pressure to please everyone, the overwhelming costs, the endless logistics—it’s exhausting. What you really want is a day that feels right—something intimate, real, and true to your relationship. But even eloping can come with questions: *Where should we go? How do we make it feel like “us”? Will it still be special enough?*⁠

That’s where I come in. 👋🙋🏽‍♀️ My job is to help you cut through the noise and focus on what matters most: the two of you, your story, and the moments you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.⁠

Yes, I’m there to capture photos, but my role goes beyond that. I’m there to keep the intentions high throughout your adventure. To help you relive your best memories while soaking in the ones you’re creating.⁠

We’ll pause, breathe, and make space for those raw, real feelings. Like when Christian zipped his bride, Taylor, into her dress under the open sky, or when they exchanged vows on a glowing mountaintop at sunset. And when they sat back, cuddled up by a crackling fire, with a couple of cold Michelob Ultras in hand, watching the stars dance across the sky.⁠

No distractions—just pure, unfiltered love and a day that felt like them.⁠

So, if you’re ready to say goodbye to the overwhelm and hello to a day that’s truly yours, remember this: You don’t need a lot of “stuff” to have the most meaningful wedding day. You just need each other. That’s it. The rest? I’ll help you figure out. ✨⁠

If there’s one thing I hope for you and your elopement, it’s that you love fiercely and wholly, celebrating every moment with intention.⁠✨❤️⁠

Rhyan & Andrés did just that, crafting a day that truly reflected who they are and the incredible love they share. They embraced personal touches, opting to skip the traditional white gown for a stunning velvet dress and choosing to forgo an extensive guest list and rigid itinerary. Instead, they embraced a day that allowed them to take it slow, on their own terms, exploring the gorgeous fall landscapes of Crested Butte—just the two of them, with their pups by their side.⁠ ⁠

From getting ready together in their cozy Airbnb with their fur babies as witnesses to sharing their vows against the backdrop of the most badass mountain views, every second of their adventure was filled with genuine joy. They wrapped up their celebration under a starlit sky, gathered around a cozy fire with a charcuterie board fit for royalty—truly one of the most Instagrammable scenes imaginable.⁠ 🧀🌄⁠

They created a celebration that felt authentic and uniquely theirs—no rules, just love.⁠

Rhyan & Andrés, thank you for inviting me to be a small part of your story and for being a shining example of the beauty that unfolds when you prioritize your own journey.⁠ ✨️⁠⁠⁠⁠

Garden of the Gods is like stepping into a southwestern dreamscape—think Sedona vibes, but with Colorado’s unpredictable (yet stunning) weather. Just outside Colorado Springs and only an hour from Denver, it’s the perfect blend of jaw-dropping scenery and wide-open, easily accessible spaces. And to top it off, it’s FREE to elope here!⁠

Natalie and Brandon celebrated their love in this sandstone paradise, surrounded by their closest loved ones. They kept things simple, letting nature take center stage as their decor—a must in such a breathtaking oasis. 🥰⁠

After their intimate ceremony, they ventured out on their own, exploring the park together. They soaked in the towering 300-foot red sandstone formations and panoramic mountain views as they exchanged private, heartfelt vows.⁠

It was a day filled with love, the perfect amount of adventure, and unforgettable scenery—just as they imagined it.⁠

Ever worry you’d miss out on something if you veto the traditional wedding scene and elope instead?⁠

Trust me, I get it.⁠

Breaking free from tradition and quieting all those unsolicited opinions doesn’t come without a few lingering “what ifs.” But here’s the truth: if your decision to elope is rooted in what YOU truly want, you won’t regret it for a second.⁠

When Emma & Brad planned their intimate wedding in the mountains they focused entirely on what mattered to them. And guess what? The ones who truly loved and supported them in their decision to elope, stood by their side, offering gratitude, encouragement, and hope for their wild, beautiful journey together.⁠

These are just a few of my favorite moments from their day. ✨️⁠ I hope they not only remind you of what is possible but inspire you to embrace your own main-character energy when deciding how to celebrate your love. ⁠

Remember, just outside your comfort zone is where the real magic happens. 🙂⁠

Attention all dog-obsessed adventurers!⁠
If you’re considering inviting your four-legged friend to your adventure elopement, consider this your sign to start looking for dog-of-honor attire and RSVP your pup to your wedding day! Swipe for confirmation.⁠

Claire and Ben brought all the main character energy for their intimate Crested Butte elopement, but this sweet duo’s day wouldn’t have been complete without their VIP guests, who showed up proud, full of love, and perfectly accessorized for their parents’ big day.⁠

From standing by in support as Claire and Ben got ready in their outdoor bridal suite to stamping their paw of approval as witnesses on the marriage license, their pups truly embodied the spirit of family. They played in nature’s playground and snuggled up close as the newlyweds celebrated with whiskey by the fire.⁠⁠⁠
As someone who always encourages couples to bring their pups along on their adventures (if the location allows), I’m so happy that Claire and Sam decided to include their pups!

Witnessing them celebrate their marriage in a way that was authentic to their story was a beautiful reminder that all you need for the most epic adventure is love—and the family that makes your life complete. Even the hairy ones! 😉✨⁠

Are you planning to bring your fur babies on your elopement day? If so, what are they wearing?! ⁠🐕⁠

If you’re struggling between having an intimate elopement and wanting your favorite people by your side—here’s the good news: you don’t have to choose. 😌⁠

Hanna + Luke’s Telluride elopement was the perfect mix of adventure and connection. They started their day getting ready with loved ones in a cozy Airbnb, surrounded by the kind of quiet excitement you feel when you’re with the people who truly matter. After a sweet first look, they wandered hand-in-hand down a mountain meadow aisle toward their intimate ceremony spot. With just their closest family there to support them, they committed to forever, surrounded by nothing but open skies and the most epic Colorado views.⁠

After their ceremony and a celebratory champagne toast, they hopped in their jeep and went off to explore together, just the two of them—laughing and crying tears of happiness through their vows, sharing a private mountaintop picnic, and witnessing the most magical cotton candy sunset that felt like something out of a dream. By the time the sun dipped behind those stunning Colorado peaks, they had soaked in every second of their adventure.⁠

As you plan your elopement day, remember you don’t have to pick between an intimate celebration and having your family nearby. You can enjoy the closeness of your loved ones while still soaking in those private, meaningful moments that make your day one-of-a-kind. That’s what truly makes it all worthwhile.⁠

Some wedding days feel like pure magic—and this one was no exception. Marissa and Justin blended everything they loved about a traditional wedding with the freedom of an adventurous elopement, creating a day that was perfectly and beautifully their own.⁠

They kicked things off in a charming Airbnb, surrounded by their closest loved ones. Marissa’s first look wasn’t just with Justin, but with her dad too—a personal touch that made the day even more special.⁠

After their intimate ceremony by a serene alpine lake, they set out on their own adventure, hiking through the rugged Indian Peaks wilderness to exchange private vows, just the two of them.⁠

No distractions. No crowd. Just the mountains, the trees, and their love. 🏔️⁠♥️

Before heading out, they enjoyed a mountainside picnic while soaking in the 360 views of Colorado paradise. 🥰

Days like this remind me why I’m so passionate about helping couples break free from tradition and craft a wedding experience that truly reflects who they are. If you’re dreaming of an elopement that’s every bit as adventurous and personal as your love, let’s make it happen. 🤍⁠

When you craft your elopement with intention, every moment becomes something you’ll carry with you forever. Whether it’s the vows you’ve written by hand, the song that makes your heart skip a beat, or sharing a pizza picnic in your favorite spot, these personal touches are what make your day truly special. ✨⁠

For Bri + Nikole, it was all about leaning into what they loved. From exploring the natural beauty of Crested Butte via foot and 4x4 to stopping by the Old Rock Community Library, where they found inspiration in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien.⁠

They hiked, off-roaded, and snuggled up in sleeping bags beneath the stars. 🌙 They made their unity ceremony their own by layering vibrant, colorful sand into a frame marked with their names and wedding date—a reminder of all the moments that came together to create their day.⁠

Their first dance? Under the moonlight. 🌕 Signing their marriage license? By the soft glow of a warm lantern. Every detail was intentional, allowing them to be fully present in the magic of their day.⁠


It was tough to choose which moments to share because honestly, every single one felt so special. These sneak peeks from Bri + Nikole’s intimate adventure are just the beginning, and I can’t wait to show you more from their day. 💛⁠

If you’re dreaming of an elopement filled with personal touches, I’d love to hear—what’s one meaningful detail you’d have to include in your own day? ✨⁠

Unlike a traditional wedding with its tight schedules and endless formalities, your elopement day is 100% yours to design. When you make the brave choice to elope, you’re gifted instant freedom to plan a day that actually feels like you.⁠

While elopements might take less planning than your typical wedding, one thing couples always ask is: “So, what do we actually do on our elopement day?”⁠

The best part? There are no rules. No “best” way. Just your way.⁠

And what does that look like? Endless possibilities.⁠

For Elisa and Stef, it meant dreaming up a day that was intimate, adventurous, and unapologetically them. ⁠ ⁠

They kicked off their adventure with a 4x4 ride up the mountain, getting ready together in their private slice of nature. Taking their time, they soaked in the mountain views, helped each other get dressed, and buzzed with excitement for what was to come. ⁠ ⁠

Once they were ready, they set out on the trail, making their way to the ceremony spot we all researched together. With the wild wilderness as their witness, they exchanged vows and promises, surrounded by nothing but endless mountain views.⁠

After their promises were sealed with a kiss, their post-ceremony celebration began. Starting with the signing of their marriage license. ⁠

As a fire crackled nearby, they cozied up, toasted with champagne, and devoured a chef-prepared meal alongside the most mouthwatering cakes. The night ended with them cuddled up under a sky full of stars, champagne showers, and the sounds of nature closing out their perfect day. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

When you’re given a world of possibilities, remember to spend your wedding day doing things that matter to you—just the two of you, fully in the moment.⁠ ⁠ ⁠

And if this sounds like your kind of day, I’ve got great news—I’m here to help make it all happen. Send me a DM, and let’s start planning your dream elopement!⁠⁠⁠

Here’s the one thing you can’t skip when planning your Colorado elopement - permits!⁠

With epic locations comes a little bit of planning—getting your permits sorted is one of those key things that’ll make sure your day goes off without a hitch.

If you’re eloping in a national forest or protected land, odds are, you’ll need a permit—whether it’s for photography, the ceremony, or both. Trust me, the last thing you want is an unexpected visit from a park ranger when you’re in the middle of your vows. Plus, reaching out to them can be super helpful! You can ask about the best photo spots and how to avoid those crowded areas.⁠

Your photographer (aka me 😉) will help guide you through any restrictions or extra fees, but I always recommend calling a park ranger yourself to double-check the details—it’s always better to know ahead of time.⁠

Have any questions about the permit process? Shoot me a DM or drop them below! ⁠

If you were to ask me why I love being an elopement photographer, I’d tell you it’s because I love helping couples create a wedding day that energizes their souls—one that’s about their love story, not anyone else’s expectations.⁠

But if you were to ask me on a deeper level... I’d tell you it’s because I believe every couple deserves the freedom to celebrate their love in a way that feels authentic to them. There’s nothing I love more than showing my couples what’s possible when they break away from tradition and carve their own path—creating a day that truly reflects who they are and the love they share.⁠

Jess and Ryan’s elopement in Rocky Mountain National Park is the perfect example of this. It was everything they wanted—intimate, breathtaking, and completely free from the usual wedding pressures. Watching them laugh and cry tears of joy with their families, fully immersed in the beauty of the mountains, made me feel so dang lucky to capture a love like theirs for a living.⁠

These sneak peeks from Jess and Ryan’s magical day are just a glimpse into what’s possible when you follow your heart and create a wedding day that’s truly yours.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Here are the three most common mistakes people make when planning an adventurous outdoor elopement! 👇️⁠

1. Not wearing the right shoes. Happy feet are essential! You don’t want to be miserable or have cold toes on your big day. Skip the heels, wedges, and fancy shoes; opt for waterproof hiking boots instead. Trust me, they’ll look badass and pair perfectly with your dress. Bonus points if you and your future spouse have matching pairs! 🥾⁠

2. Not preparing for the weather. I’ve been there myself—Colorado weather can be unpredictable, especially at 11,000+ feet. Storms can move in quickly, so it’s best to embrace whatever Mother Nature throws your way (within reason). Wind-swept hair and rain-covered kisses can add a whole new vibe to your photos! Just be sure to pack rain gear, even if the forecast looks clear. ☔️⁠

3. Forgetting Leave No Trace principles. This is a big one but often overlooked. When planning your outdoor elopement, remember to leave no trace. 🌿 This means picking up flower petals, confetti, and anything else you bring with you. Respect Mother Earth so future generations and couples can enjoy these wild spaces, too. 🌍🌲⁠

So, there you have it—keep these tips in your backpack (or save this post to your ‘elopement tips’ folder), and you’ll be all set for the adventure of a lifetime! 🎒✨⁠

This, my friend, is the epitome of eloping: crafting an out-of-the-box wedding experience that deeply resonates with your love story.

Chloe and Jake understood this perfectly. They designed an adventure that mirrored their courageous souls and undeniable bond in the most authentic way.

From cruising on their bikes, to exchanging their vows surrounded by their favorite people and the most badass mountain views, to their intimate lake side picnic - these two adventures took full advantage of their made-for-them day!

As you plan the most fantastic adventure of your life, remember: it’s yours to define. And let me assure you, whatever visions dance in your minds are perfect beyond measure. 🙃⁠

So, what does an adventure elopement mean to you? ⁠

Your elopement day is your most fantastic adventure—a day where you can do whatever you want, wherever you want, with WHOEVER matters most to you. And if that means welcoming your little ones into the experience, know that I fully support your decision!⁠

Abbey & Chase knew their hearts and day would feel incomplete without their adorable son by their side, so they invited him to join them and even dressed him in the sweetest little outfit.⁠

For them, it wasn’t just about celebrating their love as a couple—they wanted to honor their little family and the beautiful life they’re building together, a life that wouldn’t be the same without their son.⁠

As you start planning your ideal adventure, don’t feel obligated to do anything that doesn’t align with your vision. Your elopement day is for the two of you, so make sure your plans effortlessly fill your day with joy and satisfy your soul.⁠

These are just a few sneak peeks from Abbey & Chase’s intimate elopement near Breckenridge. I hope they inspire you to plan an adventure that’s true to who you are, reminding you that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to elopements. Each one is unique and special in its own way—and that’s what makes them so damn special.⁠

You don’t choose to spend your elopement day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park unless you crave the kind of magic that only nature can create. I’m talking alpine vistas that stretch for miles, waterfalls crashing down like a dramatic soundtrack, and meadows that invite you to run wild and free.⁠

If you live for the natural high of adventure, this is where your love story belongs.⁠

Cally + Justin felt that magic the moment they set foot in RMNP. With jagged peaks towering above and crystal-clear lakes below, their vows became a moment of pure, grounded connection—no distractions, no fuss, just the two of them, with nature providing the most epic backdrop.⁠

After exchanging vows, they settled into the serene mountain scene with a quiet coffee picnic. They laughed their way through meadows, caught glimpses of wildlife darting through the trees, and soaked in the adventure that unfolded around them. Everything about the day felt easy and natural - just as a wedding should be. ⁠

And that’s the real beauty of it—no strict timeline, no long guest list, no over-the-top details. Just two people, a love for adventure, and a landscape that took their breath away. It was a day about them and the wild places that set their souls on fire.🏔️✨⁠

If your dream day looks anything like this, Rocky Mountain National Park is waiting to write the next chapter of your story, and I’d be honored to help tell it. ⁠⁠⁠⁠
