A TELLURIDE, COLORADO MOUNTAIN ELOPEMENT

Julie and Ryan’s elopement in Telluride was absolutely magical!! They got married at a super cute AirBnb in Telluride with just the two of them, their parents, and their sweet old pup Marley. Their day was so relaxed, fun, full of love, and so them.

I met Julie and Ryan over a year ago when I did a cute little mountain session for them and their pup. We clicked immediately and I was so excited when Julie asked me to photograph their elopement in Telluride (which is one of my fav places on earth!!!!). Funny story - I met Julie through a women who hike group and our husbands work together at the same company but we didn’t even know it!! I did their shoot and literally knew her and Ryan for like 6 months before it clicked LOL. I was at Tyler’s Christmas party and as I was leaving got a text from Julie asking if that was me… ha!! What a small world!!!

It has been just the best getting to know them over the last year and being a part of their wedding!! Julie and Ryan are two of the most kind, down to earth, laid back people I’ve met and I am so thankful to have met them and to have them as not only clients, but awesome friends too.

Shout out to Laure with Lumme Creations for making the most beautiful florals everrr (as always!!!) and Steven with Foster Creative for being the best videographer to work with!!

“I'd give 10 stars if I could!! Several months before our wedding, we were lucky enough to stumble upon Alyssa to do a fun "old dog shoot" with us and our aging pup Marley. We knew after we met her and received those photos that we didn't even need to try out any other photographer for our wedding - she was "the one". Our goal for our teeny tiny wedding was to have a super fun, chill day focused on our commitment and leave out all the big wedding details. Alyssa's sweet calm nature was exactly what we needed for our low key, stress free day. She helped make the day playing in the mountains seamless, even with rain and hail that came through :) Alyssa has a gift of capturing raw, natural moments from unique perspectives. Her guidance was perfect... we never felt "posed" and everything was so fun and easy - trust her! Our wedding photos are absolutely mind blowing!!!! Our wedding day did fly by, but the pictures will last us forever. Every single photo Alyssa took tells a story and they are soo good that I get all the feels as if it were happening again! And those shots of our dog Marley... Oh my goodness!! No words to describe how perfect they are! We not only gained a lifelong photographer, but we also gained a lifelong friend. ((Note: It was so hard to pick from the hundreds of pictures Alyssa took!! I literally love them all so much!))” - Julie
