MemberMy fiance and I are thinking about eloping…
Suggestions for outdoor ceremony sites (doesn’t have to be a designated site, I don’t mind hiking for a beautiful view!) and suggestions for a photographer (under $1k since it’s not a full wedding).
Thanks in advance!
MemberI’m a CO bride! But it’s not a destination wedding for me-I live here. There’s TONS of beautiful places to get married here!! Estes Park probably tops the list (although might still have snow in April). I know several people that have gotten married at Fox Run Park in Colorado Springs. There’s a cute little gazebo there on a lake. Green Mountain Falls also has a tiny lake with a small gazebo on it. There are also people that get married on top of Pikes Peak (also might have snow in April).
Hopefully this helps you out a little. Definitely do some research-there’s too many places to name!!!
For photographers, I’d recommend Lace Photography or Lens & Palette. Either will likely be willing to work with your budget.
MemberI wasn’t a CO bride in the end, due to altitude issues for my Mother-In-Law. But holy crap if I could, I’d have been all over Ouray. Love it there. My photographer was around 850 for a half day and is in Grand Junction. But her stuff really works best outdoors on a good day, IMO. We didn’t have that and while she got some good shots that we love, I was just not very impressed with her indoor work.
For what it’s worth, depending on where you are, we did Moab, UT and had a free ceremony venue due to all the public land. Desert, mountains, we had it all. We also rented a lodge in the mountains for the cost of the attached ‘cabin’ (around 150/night) and ten bucks a head for guests in the lodge itself – and they only did the per head charge once, though we used it for three days.
Memberskunktastic: I think Ouray may be a little south for us, but I looked at the photos and it is beautiful!
Membercomrse: Thanks for the photog recommendations, I will definitely contact them!
Memberfelicitah86: For some reason, I know a lot of photographers. So if you need more names, try Twig & Fig Photography or Pure Touch Photography. I also like Arlene Lambert-great eye & can do a variety of looks, not every photog can do that.
Tina Joiner is also a great photographer, and is known in the area for being the best. But her prices are pretty high!
MemberI do wedding photography in Colorado! There are fabulous locations in Rocky Mountain National Park as well as some smaller areas such as Mt. Falcon has a beautiful overlook, some smaller hikes in Evergreen and Idaho Springs if you want breathtaking views & are up for a hike! 🙂
