Garden of the Gods Elopement Photographer | Kacy & Brandon

Garden of the Gods is a one of Colorado’s coveted wedding and elopement locations. With incredible views of Pikes Peak and the giant, jagged red rocks in the foreground, it’s like nothing else in the world.

Planning a Garden of the Gods Elopement or Micro-Wedding?

There is no charge for use of Garden of the God’s 6 locations across the park for your micro-wedding or elopement ceremony. It’s first come first serve and has some rules like you can’t bring in any decor, chairs, or have a reception unless you’re having a picnic in their designated picnic area. For a full list of the rules and details on the 6 different locations where they allow ceremonies click here.

For K+B’s elopement we parked at High Point parking lot and walked down the trail a little ways to find their spot. They had their first look and then exchanged private vows before having their family join them. After the ceremony and some fun family photos their guests headed back to the airbnb in Colorado Springs they had rented to get ready for dinner. The three of us headed off into the park to explore. It was a super busy late September Saturday evening in the park so I was looking for anywhere we could maybe sneak off to. Luckily photoshop is a handy tool when working in busy locations!

K’s brother is in the military stationed in Germany, and because of Covid, wasn’t able to be at their wedding day. So she had a photo of him framed as a stand-in and we were able to get enough service to Facetime him at the ceremony. And K’s father had passed away not too long before the wedding. B reached out to me wondering if I would be able to use an old photo of her dad to make a special photo of them together on her wedding day. I dug deep down into the photoshop skills I learned in college and was able to make some special for K to show her father was with her on her wedding day.

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!!
