4×4 Mountain Adventure in Colorado | Colorado Couples Photographer

An adventure couple snuggles in the back of their truck up a mountain 4x4 road for their Colorado Adventure Couples Photography session.

4×4 Mountain Adventure | Colorado Adventure Couples Photographer


I’ve known Sarah + Kim pretty much exactly a year to the day. Last year they modeled for my elopement styled shoot I put on on July 31, 2021. I knew they’d be down for something a little more adventurous like this couples’ 4×4 adventure in Colorado. My husband and I recently purchased our first 4×4 vehicle. I have been absolutely dying to get it out on the trails ever since. What better way than for an epic shoot at the top of a trail to watch sunset? I’ve also been wanting to get to play in lower lighting situations without the use of flash. To get creative and push myself but also to see the capabilities of the new Nikon mirrorless cameras. I shoot on a Nikon Z6 and Z6ii (that I recently fell on top of and need to send off for repairs). I wanted to push their limits and they absolutely ROCKED this shoot after sunset.

4×4 Mountain Adventure in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains

We started on the dirt road about 6:30pm with a few stops along the way. From there we decided to keep going up the 4×4 trail to the top. I had no idea where it led to as I’d only ever gone so far on it before. But we all agreed we were in it for the adventure. And we decided that we would shoot at the top no matter what it looked like up there! There was no way we’d get to the top and then get back down with any light left at all. But it opened up to a gorgeous basin right at tree line with views of mountains near and far all around. To top it off the sunset for still showing. We got to watch the last bit of sunlight dance in the clouds as it got dark around us. Before we headed out, we turned the lights of my truck on while they danced together to finish the night off.

The shoot was exactly what I was envisioning but even better because the location we got was beyond what I could’ve imagined. Colorado never disappoints with it’s locations. But getting to a lot of them takes more work and resources than people realize. These locations are accessible with the right gear and knowledge of the terrain. If you have a 4×4, or if you want to rent a 4×4 and are looking for a photographer to join contact me using my inquiry form!

Photographers don’t deliver raws for a few reaso Photographers don’t deliver raws for a few reasons..

- raws aren’t what most people think they are. They aren’t just an unedited jpeg. JPEGs are actually slightly edited version of the photos. They’re just edited automatically by the camera for the photo to look the best. iPhone’s use AI to edit their jpegs so it’s an upper level of editing. Raw photos are just that, raw, with no adjustments done by the camera (or smartphone) at all. It takes a little bit more editing to a raw image to get it to look like an edited jpeg. 

- you have to have certain editing software to edit raw images

- the raw photos don’t represent our work and your edited version won’t be representative of our work either.

Most photographers will sell their raw photos for an additional price. This is often done in the commercial photography industry so the company can edit the photo how they need to and have creative control. 

But when you hire a photographer they have creative control. You should be hiring them for their artistry, talent and the final product they deliver.

you two deserve to celebrate big! Your elopement you two deserve to celebrate big!  Your elopement with just the two of you (or a few people) deserves the same grandeur of a large wedding! It’s just looks and feels different. 

People think elopements mean just an hour or two of coverage because it’s so small. But elopements are just as special and important as a big wedding.

Let’s normalize couples making the most out of their elopement day and celebrating in ways that are as adventurous and unique as you are! You might not be spending as much as a big day would cost but that doesn’t mean your day deserves less of a celebration. You just get to choose to spend your time and money in different ways, ways that are based on your experience and not a party for 150 people. 

Think big when you’re eloping! A question I like to ask couples is if money was no issue, what would you do on your elopement day (wedding day- this is still your wedding day!)?! 

Or I also like to help them shift their mindset a little.. by letting them know to think of your elopement day as your honeymoon. Your elopement experience can and should be crafted like your honeymoon. Start romanticizing your elopement!!
