Ditch the stress, the seating charts, and the performance. Your love deserves something bold — a mountaintop moment, an alpine lake, or a backcountry ski descent with just the two of you.

Start Planning Your Adventure

Why Elope?

Because your story deserves to be told, not staged.

You don't need a crowd. You don't need a performance. You don't need to explain your choices to anyone.

Eloping is about stripping things back to what actually matters — just you, your person, and a place that makes your chest feel full.

If your dream day looks more like dirt on your boots than chair covers, you're in the right place.

Here for elopements with altitude.

No need to worry about the clock. Sunrise on a ridgeline, a hike between locations, golden hour at an alpine lake, and stars overhead by the time we wrap.

"From the start, Anton made us feel comfortable just being ourselves. There was no pressure, no awkwardness, just trust.

He supported us when we felt unsure and let the day unfold in a way that felt true to us. By the end, it didn't feel like we'd hired someone - it felt like we'd gained a friend."

- Amanda & Matt

Anton elopement photographer portrait

Your photographer and partner in adventure

Hey, I'm Anton

I hike, ski, and camp right alongside you — boots in the mud, headlamp on before sunrise, however wild the day gets. I've been photographing elopements since 2019, and I know Colorado, and I know where the quiet, stunning places are: the mountain passes, the alpine basins, the summits worth the climb.

I'll help plan the day, recommend trusted vendors, and can even sign your marriage license — I'm ordained in most states. I'm here for the wind in your hair, the dirt on your boots, and the quiet in-between moments that say more than posed photos ever could.

A 3 AM summit push? I'm already packed.
