Alpine Vows

“Photography isn’t political.” It is. To document people and their lives is to care about the world they live in. We believe basic human decency and empathy should never be political, yet here we are.

At the heart of this work are people.
The stories we are trusted to tell.
The lives we are invited into, even if only for a moment.

As creatives, we don’t just document love and connection. We witness real humans opening their hearts in our presence. Those stories matter to us, and the people behind them matter so so deeply to us.

We believe immigrants deserve safety, dignity, and belonging because no one is illegal. We want ICE abolished so our communities can live without fear. We believe that our LGBTQ+ community deserves to live, love, and exist openly without fear.

This space is built on humanity, connection, and standing with the people in our communities. We will not shrink or stay silent.

If wildflowers are non-negotiable and you’re craving a mountain backdrop that takes your breath away, you’re in the right place!

Shania and John got married at the Colorado State Capitol, and from the moment we arrived it felt like this place was meant for their elopement.

When they first reached out and shared their vision with us, we were so excited. This was our very first courthouse elopement, and documenting it with these two was such a joy! The Capitol’s ornate details, the grand staircases, the quiet corners, it all complemented them so naturally.

What stood out most was the way they stayed anchored to each other through every moment. Their big smiles, the way their hands kept finding one another, the ease that comes from loving someone deeply and without hesitation. Surrounded by the beauty of the Capitol, it felt like the perfect reflection of their love. They truly could not have chosen a more perfect place to get married!
