Your intimate wedding day focused on connection.

Hi, I’m Lisa Hunter - wedding officiant, elopement expert and mountain girl at heart. Over the years, I’ve taken hundreds of couples to beautiful outdoor vistas for a soul-filled ceremony and I’m partnered with an amazing photography company to take your photos too.

This is quintessential Colorado - stunning views of Rocky Mountain peaks with Ponderosa Pines all around us, granite beneath our feet and big blue sky overhead.

Maybe you’re eloping to ditch the big wedding blues, maybe you’ve always dreamed of an intimate wedding in nature or maybe you’re crystal clear that you want your day to be focused on the two of you, not on everyone else. Either way, I’ve seen time and again how it really is true - an elopement strips away traditional wedding stress and focuses on what you really want the day to be about: your love and connection.

Colorado Elopement Locations

I’ll Show You My Favorite Mountain Spots

Over the years, I have come to know the most gorgeous and accessible elopement locations in Colorado. I’ll get to know you, then recommend a location that will be a perfect fit for your elopement. We’ll meet for your day at one of these spots in Boulder, or head up to Rocky Mountain National Park for a lake or trail ridge view. There is also Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Sapphire Point in Breckenridge, countless vistas near Estes Park, and many more hidden gems.

Terrain, Weather & Start Time

Locations range from easy, flat access to invigorating hikes. I recommend that you elope on a weekday if you can (less crowded, more private). The best time for stable weather in Colorado is mid-June through mid-September, although you can do your elopement package any time of the year. For photography, sunrise or sunset lighting is best, so a morning or evening start is ideal.

Meaningful Ceremony

I’ll Write A Beautiful Ceremony For You

The ceremony is the core of your day - after all, it’s the entire reason for your elopement. As your officiant I will guide you through it all. Your only job is to enjoy yourselves and to be in love.

Deepen Your Love Story

An exceptional wedding ceremony not only gets you married, it deepens your connection as a couple. I’ll get to know you well, then write a ceremony about the strength and beauty of your relationship, plus all the moments that have led you to this moment on a mountain.

Ceremony & Marriage License

By the time you arrive in Colorado, we’ll feel like old friends. You can lean in and relax for “I Do’s”, Vows, Rings and all the personal elements that I’ve tailored for you, and myself or a member of my officiant team will facilitate the ceremony. At the end of your ceremony, you will truly feel you have crossed a threshold. And no worries about the marriage license - it’s simple when you elope. We’ve got you covered and will show you how that works too!

Exceptional Elopement Photography

“Our photos blew us away! I can’t stop looking at them!
- Brooke & Cary

Friendly, Fun, Amazing Photographers

While I am in charge of your ceremony, I am also partnered with an incredible photography company. Each photographer has been shooting for years, and has the exquisite ability to capture the epic vista shots of a Colorado elopement, while also the sweetness and depth of your connection. The artistry, emotion and beauty in their work never ceases to amaze me.

Ease, Ease & Ease

Not only are the photographers exceptional artists, they are so fun to work with. A great photographer brings your natural personality forward without feeling like you’re trying. No forced or awkward poses here! You’ll feel at ease to be yourselves, and to enjoy. The result is a photography gallery of magic that you will cherish for the rest of your lives.

Gallery, Prints & Sneak Peeks

The photography in your package will include a gallery of high resolution digital images for you to download to your heart’s content. In addition to meeting with me, you’ll also have a photo consult with the photography company owner who I’m partnered with. During that meeting, you’ll decide on the amount of photo coverage that is just right for you. You won’t be able to contain your excitement to see your images (and neither will we), so they’ll send a few favorite sneak peeks soon after your elopement to tide you over until your gallery is ready.

Best Vows Ever

I’ll Guide You To Write Beautiful Vows

A wedding, even one as simple as an elopement, is a major life passage. The stage between engagement and marriage happens only once in your relationship, and it is the coolest time to learn and grow as a couple. In fact, it’s what you do in the months before your wedding that makes the day itself so profound. A key part of that process is picking or writing your vows.

The Vow Adventure Kit

My signature vow-writing kit comes with your wedding package and guides you through a meaningful vow experience as you prep for your day. It will facilitate aha’s about the life you are building together and what is important to you. There are vow examples to pick from, plus a template to get started if you want to write your own.

Sweet Date Night

Best of all, you get to go on a date night if you want! Just do the date night activity provided, and you’ll have deeply meaningful vows that express your feelings and act as a set of north star guiding principles for your marriage to come.

Flowers, Hair/Makeup, Video & More

You’ll Receive My Rockin’ Vendor Referral Kit

I have an amazing list of Colorado wedding vendors whom my couples have five-star loved. They are all fun, laid-back and great at what they do. No boring, stuffy people involved when you’re having a Colorado adventure elopement on a mountain top!

Additional Services

With your core elopement package in place, you may want some additional services too. A basic combo of flowers plus bridal hair & makeup is common for a small wedding, but you can do what you like. If you want video, the photography company with whom I’m partnered does exquisite wedding films. And if you’d like cake or catering for an intimate dinner after the wedding, we’ll get you connected.

Lodging & Dining

Colorado is home to some of the coolest lodges, cabins, hotels and Air BnB’s in the west. We also have a host of breweries, restaurants and fine dining for celebrating. When you elope, you have versatility in the experience that you create. I’ll give you all the local intel so you can pick the best spots to fit your style.

Expert Elopement Guidance

I’ll Guide You With My Expert Insight

I’m not a wedding planner, officiating is my expertise, AND at the same time I know how elopements work inside and out from years of first-hand experience and hundreds and hundreds of couples who have enjoyed our packages. This means that I’ll guide you with all the intel that you need to make it happen. I’ve got answers to every question and so does the photography company that I’m partnered with.

Customized Timeline & Your Own Online Portal

I’ll make a customized elopement planning timeline and day-of timeline to keep you on track, plus a wonderful set of prep documents to get ready for your day. You’ll find all of this in your own online elopement portal where you can keep track of the magic as it unfolds.

Advice & Support

We can also help you to think about how to elope: like how to transport your wedding dress, tips & tricks to pack for Colorado weather and how/when to tell your friends and family about your elopement. We have answers for all the little things you could try to figure out on your own, but it’s even better coming from those of us who have been thinking for years about these things ;)

“Lisa was a joy to work with! Everything about our day was more than we envisioned. It was perfect. The whole process was easy and simple thanks to them. They kept in touch, offered us so many great suggestions, and became part of our family. We can’t thank you enough for all that you did. We love you!” - Keari & Logan

Silly Selfies After The Marriage License

The last official thing we do together is take a wedding selfie. Very serious. Beware: You will be doing one of these with me too ;)

“Lisa took the time to know us and our story too. Our day was everything we pictured. We wanted simple, sweet and stress-free, and it was exactly that. Her team made us feel so comfortable and made it all so easy. Thank you for playing such an integral role in joining us as husband and wife!” - Leslie & Edward

“Our day was relaxed and filled with love. The simple, down-to-earth ceremony was perfect for us. We had an incredible view of the mountains. The intimacy was just what we had hoped for. Our photos are amazing. We couldn’t be more happy!” - Katie & Hanna
