About Ashography - Colorado Elopement Photographer

Ashlee Bratton

Owner of Ashography

Destination wedding & elopement photographer based in Colorado's San Juan mountains near Wolf Creek ski area. With over 300+ weddings (both big and small) in the 15+ years serving the wedding industry, Colorado mountain elopements are one of my favorite ways for a couple to say I do. Serving South Fork, Creede, Pagosa Springs, Del Norte, the San Luis Valley and beyond--I am a part of a weekly hiking group and have locked in some incredible hidden gems that are the perfect location for a private mountain elopement in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Hiking? ATV ride to a lake or mountain overlook? Engagement by a waterfall? Let's do it.

As a Colorado elopement photographer, I personally have zero interest in pretending I'm a hardcore mountaineer, but I have an uncanny ability to turn a random roadside pull-off into photographic gold. Full disclosure: I'm a little old-school, just techie enough to be dangerous, and exceptionally good at making camera-shy humans forget they're being photographed as they celebrate with joy. I love mountain adventures and roaming all over Colorado, and I am also proud to be a lazy hiker. No hiking résumé required. I will always choose to take the scenic route. And then pull over 14 times.

    We cannot recommend Ashography enough! From the very beginning the entire experience was easy, and so much fun. Our wedding photos turned out even more beautiful than we imagined. Every image captured the emotion, scenery, and little moments that made our day so special. Ashlee made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and gave just the right amount of direction while still letting everything feel natural. The quality, attention to detail, and quick communication throughout the process were exceptional. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives, and we’re so grateful we chose Ashography to capture our wedding day. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about their clients and delivers stunning work, look no further. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever! ❤️

    We are so happy to have found Ashlee to photograph our elopement. For backstory, my husband and I live in Chicago & were set on having snowy photos for our wedding. We found Ashlee through Arbor House B&B and we were sold on the intimate elopement. First of all, she was so pleasant to work with from our first phone call. She really took the time to get to know us & understand what we were looking for. Ashlee captured the day beyond our expectations (some of it on ski's, I need to add). Our photos are amazing & we will cherish them for life. We get so many compliments when we share with friends and family. She made did an amazing job coordinating all of the logistics of our mountain adventure & brought the energy for our day. Such an amazing spirit to work with and it certainly shines through her photos. It's a shame for us that she's all the way in Colorado & it will be a while before we are back for a vow renewal but if you are in her area or are looking to fly to her area for an elopement, snag her up! You won't be disappointed. Thank you Ashlee, it was the perfect day.

    Oh Lisa--I'm tearing up from your incredibly kind words! We sure had fun getting you two married up at the ski area, didn't we?! I will not soon forget those gorgeous views at the top of bonanza or your cutie shotski celebration picnic. Congratulations ski bunnies--I absolutely hope there's a vow renewal in our future.

    Working with Ashlee for our elopement was truly the best experience! She is very knowledgable about outdoor elopements in Colorado and helped us plan so many details and also feel secure about backup plans due to unforeseen weather, etc. The day of, she was prompt and professional and helped us feel very comfortable to be ourselves throughout the day. Ashlee knows how to plan opportunities for shots in beautiful locations, and we have gotten so many compliments on how gorgeous our photos are! We are also in awe of how many amazing photos we have from our day, and we are so happy that Ashlee was able to help us capture so many special moments! If you want to have an unparalleled elopement experience, don't hesitate to work with Ashlee!

    Ashley is the sweetest soul! She photographed our elopement and we cannot express our gratitude enough to Ashley for being such a light during our special day! She was so prepared, present, and professional. My husband mentioned to me after the session that he had so much fun and wanted to keep going- coming from the man who is so camera shy! I cannot thank you Ashley enough for being so amazing and being the best addition to our special day! We haven’t received the full album yet- still in the 6 weeks window but just from the sneak peaks we are SOOO excited to see Ashley’s incredible work captured from our elopement. Thank you Ashley!!!!!!!

Depending on the package, I’ll bring one or more trusted assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding and what package is booked. More photographers = more creative angles and wedding day coverage. I've got some great second photographers in my back pocket.
As an estimate, you can expect about 75 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. Personally, I am on the quality over quantity program and want only the best of the best telling the story of your day.
That is a GREAT question. In my 15+ years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I am in a network with amazing photographers and we know how to take care of each other and our valued clients should life take a turn towards the unexpected. As pro photographers, we have back up plans to our backup plans.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. I am not a videographer, but I do however take a few iphone videos and like to send you a reel the next day just to wish you a happy day one. *wink*
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.
The fun part--sneak peeks are sent within 48 hours! My turnaround time for a full gallery varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can expect to receive an online gallery link drive with high-resolution image files so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
