    We don’t need to convince you that eloping in Colorado is the best decision you’ll ever make.

    (Even though it totally is!)

    We Know You’re Ready For…

    • A laid-back, stress-free, no-pressure experience
    • Saying a big ol’ “screw you” to tradition
    • Intentional time spent just the two of you
    • Freedom to stray from the timeline
    • Natural, candid photos that truly feel like you
    Let’s Do It

    But First, There’s a Few Things You Should Know…

    We Don’t Believe in Highlight Reels

    Many people (and if we’re honest, most photographers) focus on the big moments. Years down the road when you flip through your wedding album, the moments that stand out are not the stunning scenery or highlight-reels, but the small, in-between moments that make you crack a smile.

    People First, Photos Second.

    Your experience matters most. We’ll create space for you to be fully present so your photos feel honest, emotional and real. Pretty landscapes are easy. Capturing how a moment felt is what we’re after.

    Ugly Crying Is Welcome

    If a photo makes you feel something—even if you’re mid-sob, double chinned, or laughing so hard your face scrunches—that’s a win. We’ll take real over polished every single time.

    You’re Not a Business Transaction

    We’re not just showing up to do a job. We want to build something real with you, and we’re probably still going to want to hang out long after your photos are delivered.

    “We’re SOLD. HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?”

    Steph & Jon

    “I could’ve been out there in a bathrobe and she would’ve had me feeling like I was the best thing since sliced bread.”

    “Even after our first conversation I could tell Larissa was a literal ball of sunshine, she just gave off a warmth that made you feel at ease and when we met in person on the day of our elopement she was the BIGGEST hype girl I’d ever met. I could’ve been out there in a bathrobe and she would’ve had me feeling like I was the best thing since sliced bread.

    I told her that we want to capture the beauty of our location but we also want a lot of candid-style photos. Our immediate family members were there to witness our marriage so I didn’t want 50 pictures of us from only the most flattering angles, I wanted to look at these pictures and see [the] love and joy we were feeling that day (corny, but you get it!).

    Larissa honestly just nailed it on every level, she took advantage of our surroundings and got us some BEAUTIFUL panoramic photos, but she managed to capture the emotion through it all. Our ceremony/family/couple pictures are all a perfect progression of how our wedding day felt. Nothing looks forced or too posed, she just basically hung out with us and managed to capture our interactions.”

    “We were able to provide Bailey with small glimpses of what we had in mind for our wedding day, and she was able to take our ideas and make them more than we could have ever imagined for our day.”

    “From our very first conversation, we knew Bailey was meant to be our photographer.

    Planning became a breeze with all the information and guides we were provided. Even from out-of-state, we felt like Bailey was right there with us the entire time readily available to answer any questions that may have come up along the way. We were able to provide Bailey with small glimpses of what we had in mind for our wedding day, and she was able to take our ideas and make them more than we could have ever imagined for our day.

    Our experience with We, The Light Photography was nothing short of phenomenal! Not only do we have gorgeous photos of our wedding day that we can enjoy for the rest of our lives, but we also have a new friend in Bailey.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Our specialty is helping our couples find the perfect spot to say their vows! Most of our couples do not have a location in mind before they book with us. After you book, we’ll send you a location questionnaire to understand what types of locations you’d be dreaming of. Then we use our experience, 27+ years of exploring CO, and research skills to put together a custom location guide with a list of location ideas we think would be right up your alley. (P.S. we also help you with the not-so-fun research on if a permit is needed to get married at your dream location.)

    You sure can! At 10 guests, we require our couples to reserve a ceremony site with the appropriate park or public land jurisdiction. This way you have a guaranteed location for a larger group and you practice Leave No Trace.

    Our most popular package is the No Rush limitless one-day elopement. Instead of squeezing your memories into a handful of back-to-back hours, we build a custom timeline that actually fits you. We leave space for breathing, laughing, snack breaks, wardrobe changes, naps, adventurous detours, and any unexpected magic that happens along the way.

    Yes! While we are not able to actually book those vendors for you, we certainly help you with recommendations/research on the best vendors that serve the area you choose to elope at.

    To us, they are a crucial part of getting to know you two and allowing you to see how we work and feel comfortable with us before the BIG moments of your day. Instead of meeting us for the first time when you are literally ready to say your vows and take the most important photos, we love to slowly ease you into our candid and low-key photography style and get to know you as you are getting ready.

    During the time you spend getting ready, there’s likely to be a lot of feelings and emotions that come up. It’s when the day really starts to feel real and is such an important part of your story that deserves to be captured!

    Yes! Our half-day, full-day and 2-day elopement packages include travel to anywhere in Colorado (including gas, hotel, and other travel expenses). Our partial-day and mini-elopement packages include travel up to 90 miles from your photographer.

    Larissa is based out of Erie, CO. Bailey is based out of Timnath, CO.

    We 100% get it! Getting your picture taken can feel super awkward, especially if you’re supposed to just stand there and smile and act lovey, all the while wondering what to do with your hands. Let us assure you – you are NOT awkward, and we will give you direction the whole time! Our photography style is much more casual and candid. Instead of putting you in Pinterest-perfect poses that don’t feel normal, we prioritize helping you two be present in the moment and give you two things to DO together that create genuine laughs, smiles, and intimacy that we then capture on camera. Our goal is for you to feel like you can be yourselves and have fun together! 

    Knock on wood it doesn’t happen, but on the rare occasion that your booked photographer is unable to be there for your elopement, we have a solid backup system in place. As a team, we are always each other’s first call to step in. If for some reason the other person isn’t available, we have a list of go-to trusted photographers who have a similar skill level, style, and approach who will step in. We promise we won’t leave you hanging!

    Not at all! We have worked with couples who have booked anywhere from a year to less than a week out from their elopement day. As long as you’re willing to stay on top of communicating and we have the date open, we’re always open to helping with last-minute elopements!

    Absolutely! We LOVE when we get to meet our couples in person before the big day! You can learn more about our couples sessions here.

    We very rarely shoot together, so you will most likely be working with either Larissa or Bailey. We respond to inquiries based on availability and who we think might be a better fit for each couple!

    We do not limit the number of images we give you – if we take a good photo, you deserve to have it. However, we do go through and remove photos that are duplicates, out of focus or have eyes closed. We commit to delivering a minimum of 30 images per hour.

    You will receive a robust sneak peek (because we can’t help ourselves!) within 7 days from your elopement and the full gallery within 8 weeks.

    We deliver your final photos in an online viewing gallery that you can share with family and friends.

    Yes! You have access to download all of the high-resolution photos directly from your online gallery. From there you get personal printing rights, to print wherever you want.

    Absolutely! You have access to our luxury prints, canvases and framed photos that can be ordered directly through your online gallery. We also know that creating your own album is daunting so offer full album designs with our luxury handcrafted albums.

    We specialize in photography and do not offer video services at this time. However, we do have a list of incredible videographers that we often work with that we would be happy to share!
