Colorado Elopement Photographer
Based in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado
But let's be honest, planning an elopement can have sooo many options that it gets overwhelming very fast...
Instead, you want an intentional, personal and adventure-ish day with your favorite person.
Starting off your day in a cozy cabin with coffee, then Jeeping into the mountains to alpine lakes then ending your day with a cake picnic. You want every moment and experience to reflect your relationship.
You know you want to get married in the wilderness of the Colorado mountains but the thought of spending your elopement day hiking isn't the vibe..
So, you're eloping in Colorado??
But you don't have to do it all alone
That's where I come in...
That's why I help couples like you create elopements that are focused on your connection and enjoying every moment together.
You decided to ditch the big weddings because you do not want the stress of planning a day that is about everything else and for everyone else but you.
Let's be super honest, you know eloping is not only about the pretty photos of your ceremony. You really want your day focused on you and choosing how to celebrate it in a way that is unique and special to you.
In the end, you are dreaming of a meaningful, intentional but adventure-ish elopement day with your favorite person.

"Hawa really went above and beyond for our photos! She does her research beforehand, even the location, to figure out the best angles and areas. She asked us questions to get a sense of what we liked and wanted and curated a set of poses based upon our answers. This was very nice especially if you're not sure how you want your photos to be. The photos also arrived quickly and were amazing! I really love my photos and it felt surreal knowing that these are the photos I will be looking at years down the line.She's a great photographer who takes their job serious. I would recommend her to anyone!"

"I had an amazing couples photo shoot session with Hawaa! She is so sweet and down to earth when you meet her. Her skills as a photographer are phenomenal as she captures the perfect moments with you and your partner. Hawaa guided us through poses and everything felt so natural as she took the photos. The pictures came out beautifully digitally & on print. I’m very happy with how the whole experience turned out I would highly recommend Hawaa & her talent for photography!"

"I will start off by saying that Hawa is an amazing photographer and person. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and they speak for themselves. She took portrait/couple photos for me and left me speechless. Hawa is so fun, attentive and made my boyfriend and I feel so comfortable and we had an amazing time. Hawa sent us our sneak peak pictures in no time and we were blown away. I would always recommend her even before she took my photos and I promise that will never change. Beyond thankful for these memories I get to hold onto forever. Thank you Hawa for all that you do"

Crested Butte is another great location to elope in Colorado. It has the most stunning lakes and beautiful wildflowers in the summer. It is also a lot closer to the Denver airport than the San Juan Mountains area so it's easier to access.
Crested Butte
This location is where I know the most and love to explore. If you want an intimate elopement in the mountains with gorgeous backdrops - Think blue lakes, wildflowers and the most amazing views of the mountains. It's perfect for the couples that are a little adventurous and want to celebrate their connection in the most epic place.
Ouray is my absolute favorite location of all the san juan mountains locations but you can't go wrong with any location in the san juans.

You've Got Questions, I have answers...
I recommend booking atleast 6 months out from your elopement date. This ensures you get your choice of dates, vendors, lodging and you get the best locations.
I aim to deliver them as soon as possible but typically I will deliver them within 6-8 weeks. I will also send you sneak speaks within the first week after your elopement.
I'm happy to accommodate up to 8 guests. Keep in mind, the more guests you include the more limited your locations options become.
This depends on the location, a lot of the locations in the San Juans don't require a permit. But for places like Rocky Mountains national park, you will definitely need a permit.
Yesss! I'll provide you with different location options that are dog-friendly.
