My philosophy


Your Story. Thoughtfully Directed.

Every couple is different, and your photography should be too. I take the time to understand what matters to you, then use thoughtful direction, natural prompts, and a little room to breathe to create photographs that feel like you.

I'll help when you need direction, step back when the moment takes over, and make sure the important things never get missed.

Because the best photographs aren't simply posed or candid. They're the moments that feel completely natural while still looking beautifully intentional.

Trusted by Couples Throughout Colorado

From intimate mountain elopements to elegant celebrations in the city, I've had the privilege of photographing more than 50 couples across Colorado.

Their kind words mean a lot. More importantly, they reflect the experience I want every couple to have: organized, comfortable, genuinely cared for, and confident that their photographs are in good hands.


"Elliot is truly a gem to work with. He honored all of what we wanted with our engagement and wedding photos making sure to inject some fun with some formality. He made it effortless for us to have photos for the wedding of our dreams. A true professional I would recommend to anyone who wants their photos done right."

Hey, I'm Elliot


Your Colorado Wedding Photographer!


I am a wedding photographer, outdoorsman, and someone who believes the best photographs happen when people feel comfortable being themselves.

I've been behind a camera for more than 18 years, photographing everything from wildlife and editorial portraits to weddings and elopements. My approach combines intentional posing and natural direction with plenty of room for genuine moments to unfold. I'll help you look your best without making your wedding day feel like a photoshoot.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll probably find me fly fishing, hiking, skiing, camping, or spending time around my horses. Those experiences have shaped the way I see people, places, and stories and they're a big part of what I bring to my work.

Whether your day takes place on a mountain, a ranch, downtown, or somewhere completely your own, my goal is simple: create photographs that feel personal to you and an experience you'll genuinely enjoy.



Refined. Personal. Unforgettable.

Photography With Direction but Without the Stiffness


Why Choose Me?


You don’t need to know what to do in front of a camera, that’s my job. From the very beginning, I help you feel prepared and confident for your day. That means more than just guiding you through portraits, I’m also there to help you think through timelines, lighting, locations, and the little details that make your wedding flow smoothly and feel less overwhelming. When it’s time to photograph, I’ll guide you through portraits with simple prompts and intentional direction that never feels forced or unnatural. And when the real moments start unfolding, the ones you didn’t plan for or even notice happening, I step back so you can stay fully present while I quietly document it all. The result is a gallery that feels natural, expressive, and true to your day, while still being thoughtfully composed and beautifully refined. You get the best of both worlds: a calm, supported experience throughout your wedding day, and photographs that not only feel like you, but also preserve the moments you didn’t even realize were happening.

"From the beginning, Elliot was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment so naturally. When we received our gallery, we were honestly blown away. Looking through them felt like reliving the entire day, and he captured so many moments we didn’t even realize were happening. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, personable, and truly cares about preserving your memories, we can’t recommend Elliot enough."
