YOUR COLORADO ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
Hey, 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!

“Trust me when I say you will be SO thankful you choose them.”
“From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with. They were so organized and detail-oriented throughout the entire process, yet still incredibly easygoing and fun. By the end, it felt like we were working with friends.
And the photos… absolutely stunning. There’s really no comparison. Every image is pure magic- beautifully composed, emotional, and full of love. We’ve looked through them countless times, and somehow we find a new favorite each time!! Truly some of the best wedding photos we’ve ever seen. Authentic Collective is such a talent and is worth EVERY penny.
Choosing a photographer is probably the most important choice for your wedding/elopement day, and trust me when I say you will be SO thankful you choose them.”

“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.”

“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.“
