Be

Trade the stress and chaos of traditional weddings for an intimate, adventurous elopement in one of the most stunning places on earth

An intimate wedding

custom designed for you

Eloping means getting married in an intimate way that feels authentic to you. Include everything that excites you and leave out anything that doesn’t!

Whether you want epic mountain peaks, alpine lakes, rushing waterfalls, wildflower filled meadows (or all of the above).

Invite nobody, a few people you can’t imagine getting married without, or just bring your dogs!

Celebrate however feels right to you (picnic, sailboat tour, horseback ride, etc.) You don’t have to be super outdoorsy or even hike if you don’t want to!

eloping opens up a world of POSSIBILITIES
but with all these options you might be thinking..

You don’t know the best spots for elopements.. Maybe you’ve never even been to Colorado before!

You don’t have to know how to plan a meaningful elopement when you hire Colorado elopement photographers and planning specialists that handle it all for you. We are experts at crafting and documenting unique experiences curated to each couple (even if you have no idea yet).

NICE TO MEET YOU

We’re Sav and Greg

As a married photo, video and planning team, we specialize in adventure elopements and intimate weddings across Colorado.

After years of capturing traditional weddings, we kept hearing couples say the same thing over and over again on their wedding day, “We wish we had just eloped.” When it was our turn, we decided to take that leap—and it was the most “us” thing we could’ve done. Now, we’re passionate about helping eloping couples create a day that feels authentic to them.

We know how overwhelming it can feel when you don’t know where to start with planning something so untraditional. That’s why we do more than document your day—we guide you through planning your elopement from start to finish. Because eloping should be fun, stress-free, and entirely about you—and we’re here to make sure it is!

200+ five star reviews across the web

“When we decided we wanted to have a small, unique ceremony with beautiful pictures, we didn’t know where to start. We found Savannah and Greg online and from the moment we reached out, they were extremely helpful, responsive, and friendly!

They helped with planning, they reassured us, and they took the stress out of planning a wedding in the wilderness, making it simpler.

We will let the pictures speak for themselves, but we are clearly pleased with the results. They are more than breathtaking!

The experience and memories Authentic Collective gave us is something we will never forget! We love y’all!”

Savannah and Greg were single handedly the most important vendor that we hired for our wedding day! They really put in a tremendous amount of effort into our wedding day. They had to scout locations for us based on a questionnaire, and gave us pages of options to choose from. Upon selection they went to our selected location to scout out the views at the exact same time a week prior. They were more then prepared for us for the wedding day by brining water, snacks, fabric tape, extra sweaters.. literally anything that you can think of. Throughout the whole event, they were nothing but excited the whole way to be a part of our adventure. They are both super talented and know what they are doing. For the most special day of your life and a once in a life time event, you want to make sure you are considering the right personality and the right talent. They are beyond qualified. I can easily say that my wedding photography is far superior and I only have Savannah & Greg to thank for that. We are grateful that they chose to be part of our special day and we will forever cherish our memories with them – I was so sad to say bye to them. You will not regret hiring them as your photographers.”

RMNP, Colorado

We searched for so many photographers before deciding on the one… and our decision quickly became re-assured! After confirming, we were very impressed with their elopement guide and the professional assistance.

The planning process was a breeze… and the actual events were incredible! They made sure the pictures were perfect and made us feel comfortable (and beautiful). They helped with the little things (move your hair; chin up, etc) that really made a difference. We got sneak peaks – and the actually gallery – very quickly!

Definitely the best decision we’ve ever made. Highly worth the money and the time! 1000% recommend.

Colorado Elopement FAQs

Absolutely! Elopements don’t have to be just the two of you. Many couples choose to have a few close family members or friends present. However, keep in mind that some locations have guest limits due to permits or space constraints, so we recommend keeping your guest list to less than 15 unless you book a designated ceremony location or small venue.

Yes, as long as the location allows it! Many outdoor locations in Colorado are dog-friendly, but some national parks and certain trails have restrictions. If you want your pup to be part of your day, we’ll help find a pet-friendly location and give tips on making it an easy and fun experience for them.

Not at all! While some couples love the idea of hiking to a remote and breathtaking spot, there are plenty of stunning locations that require little to no hiking. We can recommend scenic drive-up locations, short walks, or mild trails that still offer incredible views without a strenuous trek.
