Something that struck me was how attentive and comforting Malachi was to the bride and groom, as well as family/guests. He is aware of other people’s needs by observing and quick to support or lend a hand. He seemed up for anything, had a gentle natural way of making suggestions, very kind, warm, comforting smiles, easy to be with all day, he really guided the bride and groom with advice on timing, locations, photo positions etc. prior to and day of. We got to see a sneak peak of photos that day- and we’re blown away. He’s incredibly talented and goes the extra mile. I want to find a reason for him to come take photos again. Can’t say enough good things- he’s worth every penny. You’ll want to frame all of your photos:)

We are Joe & Rhonda Hendricks, the owners of Elope Telluride. We do it all here, from the photography to planning to location scouting. We’ve been married 13 years, and have a son named Austin! For 10 years, we worked hard to establish a wedding successful wedding photography business in Nashville, TN before moving to Colorado. It was here that we decided to shift our business from the stressful wedding industry, to adventure elopements! Joe combined his award-winning wedding photography, with his talent for landscapes… and mountain elopement photography fit like a glove.

I am a wedding officiant and have had the pleasure of working with Rhonda and Joe from Elope Telluride on many weddings for over two years. They are hands down my favorite wedding planners/elopement specialists to work with. I always look forward to their bookings because they are such a joy to work with and for. Joe and Rhonda are both highly organized, creative and kind. Joe's photography speaks for itself, true art. He captures not only the big moments but the subtle moments, the grin of a child, the pride in a father's eyes, the glow of the bride and the awe seen in the face of the groom. They put couples and guests at ease and the ceremonies are peaceful, beautiful and exquisite. They clearly love what they do.

Hey, I'm Amanda! I've been helping couples navigate the beautiful chaos of planning and photographing elopements across Colorado's Western Slope and Moab, Utah since 2015 (started the business in 2012!) I believe your wedding day should feel as good as it looks—which means comfortable, intentional, and entirely stress-free. Whether you need someone to guide you through the entire planning process or just want a photographer who gets it, I'm here to make sure your day unfolds exactly the way you envisioned. When I'm not helping couples plan and document their day, you can find me drinking chai tea and binge watching Gilmore Girls or Grey's!

My husband and I had to re-plan our wedding in just a few weeks because of COVID. Amanda was flexible, creative, and supportive in helping us re-plan. She captured the light and scenery perfectly for all of our photos. Amanda gave us just enough guidance, and made us feel completely comfortable during all of our shots. We had all of our photos within 2 weeks and were able to purchase beautiful prints directly from her site. Once we had our photos, my husband said "she made us look like models!" She truly did. We would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a kind and professional photographer.

My journey as a photographer started with taking photos of friends, old and new, at festivals. I fell in love with documenting the joyful energy at these events. Weddings and elopements remind me so much of those experiences- friends dancing together under the stars, laughter, speaking openly about love for one another, and truly enjoying life’s most meaningful moments. These days I draw a lot of my inspiration from the incredible mountain ranges all around me, but my biggest source of inspiration is my amazing clients and their connection with each other. That’s my story. Now I want to hear yours!

Lizzie is hands down one of the most talented photographers I have ever had the privilege of working with! She has such a magical eye for catching the most beautiful light and I swear as I look through our photos from that special day it looks straight our of a fairy tale. We traveled over 6 hours specifically so she could capture our day and I couldn't have been more thrilled and in utter awe of the final outcome. She was extremely professional and patient with us and she made sure to capture every tine detail so it will be in our hearts for ever. I highly recommend Lizzie Tiles Photography to anyone in the Colorado or surrounding area!

We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Emberlight Media has been preserving memories for all of life’s precious major events since 1999. Our work has been featured at venues, on several websites and in numerous national and international magazines.

We truly could not have asked for a better team to capture our wedding day! From the moment we began working with them, they made us feel so comfortable and supported. Their warmth, professionalism, and creativity stood out from the very beginning. One of my absolute favorite parts of the day was our first look, and it was largely because of how calm and guided we felt. It was such a special and emotional moment that turned into one of the most fun parts of the whole day—thanks to their gentle direction and positive energy. Throughout the entire wedding, they struck the perfect balance between keeping things on track and allowing space for our ideas and spontaneity. When I asked if we could sneak away for sunset photos on the deck, they were all in—and those shots ended up being some of our favorites. Despite our large and enthusiastic families constantly asking for “just one more photo,” they handled everything with such grace and kindness. So many of our guests commented on how calm, patient, and lovely the team was to work with. We already love the photos they’ve shown us so far and truly can’t wait to see the full gallery and our wedding video. We’re so thankful we chose them and will be recommending them to everyone we know!
