“Nat is AMAZING! If you love the outdoors and want someone who can capture an adventure session or an elopement she is the one to go to! She hiked up in freezing temps to captured our sunrise elopement with our dogs in Summit County and it was beyond perfect! She makes you feel no pressure and captures your adventure all the way through beautifully.”
Emma & Garrett – Loveland Pass Elopement

Morgan & Zach – Telluride Elopement
a few ways to celebrate your love in mountain time
Hiking & Backpacking Elopements
Hiking & exploring together is incredibly bonding and such a fun & intimate way to get married. It’s always a good way to spend a day. Being surrounded by giant mountains makes you feel so free and small- but in the best possible way. Plus, hiking for your elopement opens up so many more unique and epic locations.
Skiing & Snowboarding Elopements
I’ve been snowboarding for almost 30 years and it’s by far the best and coolest thing I know how to do. I skied as a kid before that. I even taught snowboarding for a season at Loveland Ski Area. Powder-chasing couples who want to shred in their wedding attire are badass in my opinion. Even people on mountain agree it’s an epic way to celebrate your love and relationships.
4x4ing + Anything Water Elopements
4x4ing is like going on a really hard hike to a super gorgeous spot, except you don’t have to carry any of the stuff or sweat at all. Taking you to places that are out of this world and rarely reached without a hike. You can 4×4 your SUP or kayak to a beautiful blue lake nestled
Colorado Has Some of the Best Places to Share Love
Anywhere in the San Juan Mountains and Crested Butte
On top of the peaks, especially the 12er, 13ers, and some 14ers 😉
Every ski resort is a little slice of Heaven – I’ll be ready for the true backcountry soon!
Off the beaten path, just up that 4×4 road

Meet Nat, Your Fun, Laid-Back and Candid aF Colorado Elopement Photographer
I want to foster a comfortable and safe environment for people to get to enjoy nature and fall more in love with each other through bonding and adventurous experiences. I believe everyone should get outside & love nature so it can love them back. I want to create images and art that bring people right back into each moment. Documenting moments in a way that is unposed, natural, and candid. Not overly produced and directed shots that feel like a photoshoot. I don’t want any part of working with me to feel like a photoshoot. Authentically documented so you can be you.
My background is in hospitality & customer service covered in adventure and photography. My first big job was at a small fishing lodge on an island in Alaska being a housekeeper, food server, and guest photographer. I graduated high school early from homeschooling and set off to see the world immediately during the summer before starting college. I dabbled in being a “yachtie” for a bit. And I worked in the darkroom and digital printing lab at both my community college and university. Then I worked in luxury hotels as customer service & eventually on the sales & marketing team. But one thing that has remained the same, I’ve taken a camera with me everywhere I go.
I’m a certified Wilderness First Responder because safety is my number one priority when recreating in the outdoors. My favorite adventures are traveling, hiking, snowboarding, camping, road-tripping, and 4x4ing. If my husband would let me, I’d sell all our belongings and buy an RV to travel and live on some land in the mountains. My retirement dream is to live as expats all over the world.
I’m here to help you have the ” this is totally us” and “best day ever” elopement and intimate wedding experience.
From simple elopements or out-of-the-box adventurous ones, I love helping to craft them to be authentic and true to you, your love story, and your personalities + life together. I give you custom locations & vendor recommendations, research permitting, and all the adventure logistics like timeline, etc to lessen your stress beforehand. Then I’m with you through thick and thin for your adventures helping every step of the way.
reviews
Kailey & Brante
Let me start off by saying she made this BY FAR the easiest, most memorable fun day for my husband and me. We have never been to Colorado before and we decided to elope in the mountains 🏔! SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR US! She had drinks in the car ready to go for hydration, she gave us advice on how to deal with the altitude difference -we’re from Louisiana. She was very professional and encouraging! Super easy to talk to and get along with! I felt like I had known her forever! She is definitely worth the investment!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!
Cate & Ben
Natalie did an absolutely incredible job for my elopement. We met beforehand to discuss the details of the day and then she set up an extra photo permit for us to get all the pictures we wanted. Day of she drove up a dirt road with my partner and hiked a bit, then helped me trek down a muddy and slippery slope multiple times during the day to ensure we had no issues while getting all the amazing pictures. We had a last minute request for some pictures and she was super accommodating and I’m sure we went over our time allotted but never made us feel like we were on a timeline. My father in law said how nice she was, that she got all the intimate pictures without interrupting the moment. The light was harsh with some crazy shadows and she kept all that in mind while shooting. I fully recommend her, the photos turned out incredibly breathtaking.
Robert & Alli
I found Nat from seeing her tiktoks on my “for you page” then I went to her instagram and fell in love with all of her work! I knew immediately I needed her as my elopement photographer. Working with her has been such an incredible experience. She is so friendly, down to earth, hilarious, and extremely knowledgeable of great locations! We picked out a really cool remote location but unfortunately we found out that the road to get there was closed literally the day before we were to get married.. So we reached out to Nat and she helped us find an even better location right away! She took all the anxiety away immediately. We got our sneaks back the next day (a lot of them too!!!) and they are way better than anything I could’ve imagined. I can’t stop looking at them. These pictures are absolutely incredible, I’m in awe. I highly recommend you use Nat as your photographer!!
