CAN WE BRING FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO OUR ELOPEMENT?

Yes, you absolutely can bring guests to your elopement!


1. You can also always include your guests for portions of the day, not the whole thing.

2. For fam and friends who can’t be there, ask them to provide written letters, pre-recorded videos, or audio messages.

3. If your guests are participating in adventures, make sure they can safely partake.

Here’s a great resource for how to include family and friends in your elopement day.

Can our Dog or Pet Be a Part of our Elopement?

Absolutely! You just have to make sure that pets are allowed where you are going. Some locations allow pets anywhere, some only allow them on leashes.

But here’s one of the coolest things about Colorado – your pet can legally sign your marriage license! That’s right, your fur-baby can be a legal witness to your wedding. I’m telling you, nothing beats Colorado.


Adam has been the most amazing photographer throughout this whole experience. He is a master with the camera. His personality radiated throughout the whole elopement. He made me comfortable enough to be funny and goofy and be myself. It felt like I’ve known him my whole life that’s how much of a friendly and open person he is. His pictures came out amazing I would definitely recommend booking with him for anything you need! Thank you Adam for such an amazing experience it was truly amazing!!!!” – Jayshawna and Kristie

He immediately felt like a old friend that we were comfortable around so the stress of a stranger melted quickly. We needed a little guidance and advice since it was just the two of us and he was right there to help. He was very encouraging and made us feel like rockstars. Our pictures turned out even better than I imagined!” – Christine and Bo

WEEKDAY OR WEEKEND

If you can help it, elope on a weekday! Trust me, trails and mountain towns get busy during the weekends because all the locals and tourists are out and about having fun. The best time to get married, heck even to just have a regular old adventure, is during the weekday. You’ll have far fewer people to contend with, and also might even have lower costs!

“This is the hardest review I ever had to write. Only because I have so many great things I can say about Adam @Adventure Amore. First I will say to stop looking around for the perfect photographer! Adam is the one! Adam gave his all to find out who we are, our likes and dislikes, what we pictured on our day and how WE wanted it to be. With all honesty he made our day amazing.” – Eugene & Angela

You absolutely can have a commitment ceremony. A commitment ceremony is a wedding ceremony that is not legally binding. Maybe you want to get married in your home state, or maybe you don’t want to be legally married. Whatever the reason, you can absolutely have a commitment ceremony. Check out this ultimate guide on a commitment ceremony.

The best lighting for photos happens in the hour after sunrise and hour before sunset. That’s considered Golden Hour, because you get those beautiful golden sun rays splashing across your face.

Sunrise: best for early-birds who really want to ‘earn’ it, and want more seclusion and less chance of bad weather.

Sunset: best for those who want to coast into their elopement day and not stress about lack of sleep.

Colorado is a high-altitude state, and pretty much anywhere you elope will be at a higher altitude than the vast majority of American cities and states.

I recommend arriving in Colorado 2 days before your elopement so that your body can adjust. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to have a headache or feel nauseous from altitude sickness. You wanna be well acclimated and feeling goooood.

Are You excited to start planning your best day ever?
