Hello and welcome, I’m so glad you’re here!

If the thought of a big, extravagant wedding doesn’t feel like you, you’re not alone

Maybe you’re dreaming of something more intimate and intentional, where you can focus on what truly matters without the stress, expectations, or crowds of people. That’s exactly why I do what I do. I help couples create a wedding day that feels effortless, deeply meaningful, and true to them, set in the most beautiful landscapes Colorado has to offer. 

My journey started in 2019 after a life-changing solo trip overseas

As a recovering people pleaser, it was one of the first times in my life that I was truly able to do whatever I wanted. I had complete ownership of my time, and was on no one else's schedule. 

That feeling was so powerful, I knew I never wanted to lose it! 

Before I even got back to the States, I was already researching ways to work for myself and create a career that gave others that same sense of freedom. That’s what led me to discover adventure elopements and start my business. I had a lifelong passion for photography and felt that this was the perfect way to not only bring that freeing feeling into my daily life, but share it with others as well.

I strongly believe that kindness matters, but on your wedding day, your love story should come first. It feels like weddings have become a competition for the most extravagant party, often losing sight of what really matters– connection, love, devotion, and celebrating the start of your life together.

As a Colorado local with over five years of experience photographing elopements and micro weddings, I know how overwhelming planning an outdoor wedding can be. When I first started, I felt unequipped and overwhelmed with all of the conflicting information on permits, locations, and logistics. Now, I’ve done the hard work so that you don’t have to. From scouting picturesque, and private locations to navigating the details, I’ll help make the planning process effortless, stress-free, and fun.


here are a few fun facts about me

“Ciara was amazing!”

Our wedding photos turned out wonderful. She made the whole experience so fun and enjoyable, she was also extremely accommodating and helpful through every step of the process. Truly a great asset for your elopement from the planning to the photos. I can’t recommend her enough if your looking to elope somewhere epic! - T&B

“Ciara was a dream to work with!”

Ciara was flexible and with us the whole way. She gave so many fantastic location recommendations, most of which I had no idea even existed! Ciara went above and beyond for us in ways that we didn’t anticipate. On our wedding day, she was professional and accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly and every shot was taken. During our couple photo session we were able to slow down, relax and focus on each other.  -M&A
