"Lauren & Blake made our Colorado elopement a dream come true!! It was truly more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. When we decided to elope, we didn’t know where to start. We weren’t even sure what we wanted our day to look like. We just hoped we could do quickly (in about a month and a half) and were worried such a short timeline may not even be possible.
Then we met Lauren and Blake!! They reassured us they’d make it happen, helped us imagine our perfect day, found hikes that would work with the unpredictable weather, helped with lodging, all the logistics and overall, just helped us create the most perfect day and stay in Colorado. There was no stress, no worry, just pure joy and excitement. Our elopement went perfectly and having Lauren and Blake there was like having two friends tag along. It couldn’t have been any better.
Then we got to relive the beautiful day when we received our gallery. Everyone who we shared it with said that the pictures made them feel like they were there and really told the story of the whole day. That was exactly what we were hoping for, since we eloped alone. They captured the most beautiful details and such intimate moments. Months later and I still look at them every day! We cannot say enough amazing things about Lauren and Blake. :) "

Brooke & Felix | Idaho Springs, Colorado Elopement
"We had an incredible experience working with Lauren and Blake for our elopement in Crested Butte. From the start, their planning process was thoughtful, detailed, and honest. We had a few locations in mind, but their expertise helped us confidently choose Emerald Lake.
Leading up to the day, we were concerned about accessibility and weather, but they gave us great recommendations—like renting a Jeep or SUV, bringing comfortable shoes, and packing aesthetic umbrellas—so we felt completely prepared. On the day of our wedding, they made us feel at ease, helping us relax and enjoy the moment while capturing our natural personalities and smiles.
Their creativity was evident in their composition, use of depth of field, in-camera effects like prisms, and even props. While they are undoubtedly talented photographers, what sets them apart is their holistic approach. They don’t just take beautiful photos—they guide you through the entire process, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish."

Kirstin & Matt | Crested Butte, Colorado Elopement
"Showing up for our big day had a whirlwind of nerves, but being photographed by Lauren and Blake was such a relieving point. When we took our elopement photos with them, they both had us really enjoy being in the biggest moment of our lives, while also laughing with them and becoming friends, which is not something I knew we were signing up for, but was a HUGE bonus!!!
They're seriously so special and I really genuinely don’t say that lightly. Our pictures came out better than perfect and we both feel that they really captured our relationship in the most special way possible. Booking with them is the smartest decision anyone can make. They are truly talented, wonderful people."
