Plan your Colorado Springs Elopement and Avoid Procrastination

Garden of the Gods elopements create some of the most memorable moments. It’s a badass spot because there aren’t any fees or permits for your small gathering. You’ll be surrounded by over 300 feet of stunning red rocks as witnesses to your ceremony.

I’m Adam, the Adventure Amore elopement photographer in Colorado Springs. I’ve seen it all and can literally guide you through the towering sandstone formations to a spot that screams perfection. Hike to your dream location and prepare for a secluded, romantic celebration. Garden of the Gods has some pretty spectacular places and trails to make it happen with these sick sites:

High Point Overlook
Perkins Central Garden Trail
Siamese Twins Trai
Palmer Traill
Balanced Rock
Scotsman Picnic Area
South Spring Canyon Area
Three Graces Plaza
Jaycee Plaza
Sentinel Plaza

I’ll help you choose one that will tell your love story in images that only a skilled photographer can capture. Of course, you’ll need a date and time of year. This factors in big time to what photos and memories we can make for you.

From Easy Elopement Planning to Peak Perfection

You can have the most elaborate ceremony or keep it low-key. It’s up to you and your budget. It’s your day; you should get what you want because you will only do this once. I know that there are certain lighting issues, intricate camera settings, and more that need to be a part of your Garden of the Gods elopement ceremony. I won’t be there with my phone helping you take sweet selfies.

Your day is personal and needs to be in the hands of a professional photographer. Adventure Amore was designed to help couples like you take the stress out of planning an elopement in Garden of the Gods that’s created on your terms to satisfy your desires with:

Four hours of captivating photo coverage that you can increase if you want or need.
A process to get to know you, your partner, with fun, personalized questions.
Free consultations with me to speak your mind and work out any planning roadblocks.
An on-hand officiant who can help you say “I do,” even if it’s just the three of us.
Open, honest communication and pricing about your elopement package.

Hear From Other Satisfied Adventure Amore Elopers

Here’s what other couples who’ve worked with me have said about their elopement experience:

“Adam is absolutely amazing and so incredibly talented!! We are thrilled that we found him and would highly recommend him to anyone needing to capture their special moments!! He was very professional and friendly, making our engagement photo shoot so much fun! The photos were outstanding; I couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, Adam!!”

– Ninfa & Steve

“As someone who had never been through a photoshoot before, Adam made us feel super comfortable throughout the process! He was also very open to the location I had in mind while being able to provide similar locations once he knew what I was looking for. He’s very knowledgeable in both photography and Colorado trails! I was so glad I splurged and got a two-hour session!!”

– Allison & Chris

“Adam made our wedding day incredibly comfortable, easy, and special. I couldn’t believe the turnout and just how perfect the views were. He was professional and creative, and overall, he was just a great guy. He spent way more time than he had to in getting the great shots and made sure to ask us if there were any other pictures we wanted. Unreal. We had the best time with Adam and would give him six stars if we could.”

– Michael & Gina

What You Should Know Before Tying the Knot

There will be questions. I will have answers. If not, I’ll find it for you. Here are some of the most asked questions I hear from my clients:

Anyone can have an elopement in Garden of the Gods; you don’t have to live here or pay taxes. Everyone has to follow a few simple rules that are pretty straightforward.

You can bring your dog or dogs, but they need to be leashed. (Fun Fact: In Colorado, your dog can also be your witness at your ceremony.)
Most spots are wheelchair accessible. You won’t be able to throw confetti or birdseed here. (I always follow the “no trace left behind” rule.)
Be mindful of the altitude, especially if you’re coming from sea level.
You will need a marriage certificate from the state to make things legal. There are places all over Colorado where you can get your marriage license. Colorado Springs has three locations, and one of them is open on Saturday mornings for added convenience. Here’s another helpful tip: the state doesn’t require a witness signature on your license.

Garden of the Gods is open most days of the year, so that means any season could be part of the reason you elope in bliss. (I recommend you avoid weekends and plan for a ceremony from Tuesday through Thursday.) Being outdoors for this occasion is so special, especially in Colorado Springs where there are many incredible locations to choose from.

If you’re considering having a ceremony take place anywhere from late spring to mid-fall, it’s always nice to plan for the time of day I like to call the “golden hour,” where the natural sunlight radiates as the day comes to a close. The light kisses your face with a natural glow that will help our photos capture the intimate settings of your ceremony so you’ll never forget a moment. Later in the year, earlier in the day and into the afternoon, it seems to work best with the weather. It puts you outside when there’s some warmth so your teeth aren’t chattering when you say “I do.”

We’ve worked with hundreds of couples from all over the country with unique love stories. Thanks to the power of Zoom calls, we can speak and meet as much as we’d like to familiarize you with the area and the people or places you’ll want to talk with. People are always concerned about this, and it’s really not a big deal if you’re from out of state.

I would love to introduce you to the beauty of Garden of the Gods and all the benefits Colorado Springs can offer. There are no dumb questions, so feel free to ask me anything about the area you want to know. If there’s something off the wall you want or if there’s a local spot you wish to add to the festivities, I can direct you down the right path to getting what you want (and more.)
