Wedding in the Switzerland of America

elopement

Summer weddings in Ouray, Colorado are so gosh dang magical. You really can’t go wrong with this place as the backdrop to your wedding or elopement! These two came in all the way from Chicago, rented the cutest Airbnb in Ridgway (complete with photogenic vans out front), and explored the area a few days before our time together so that they could find spots that meant something to them and their story.

They said their vows as a fox ran by, drove along the cliffy Million Dollar Highway, popped some champagne next to a waterfall, signed their marriage license on a rock wall, ran around lakes, facetimed families from the infamous “Switzerland of America” sign, and so much more!

Hi, I'm Kimberly 👋

Colorado elopement photographer, snack enthusiast, and your personal hype woman for ditching the traditional wedding entirely.

I spend most of my time wandering dirt roads around Crested Butte, the San Juans, and Denver finding the kind of spots that make you forget what stress even feels like. You know — the ones with the views that hit different at sunrise, where the wildflowers are doing too much, and the only witnesses are a couple of marmots and your dog in a tiny bandana.

If you're dreaming of vows somewhere wildly beautiful with zero seating charts involved, hi. That's literally what I do. You bring the love story. I'll bring the camera, the location ideas, and enough snacks to get us through golden hour.
