How Do I Plan My Colorado Adventure Elopement?

  1. Marriage License Requirements – Apply early; three-day waiting period; need officiant and two witnesses.
  2. Best Time of Year to Elope – Summer for long days, winter for snow, spring/fall for fewer crowds.
  3. Getting Around – Remote spots may require boats, small planes, or helicopters.
  4. Weather and Daylight Conditions – Be prepared for unpredictable weather and varying daylight hours.
  5. Wildlife Safety Concerns –I’ve spent years as a wildlife photography guide, safely leading guests through the remote wilderness of Alaska and ensuring they have an unforgettable and secure experience - Wild life Photography
  6. Small Planes and Helicopter Concerns – Weather can affect flights; we will have a backup plan and a few extra days of grace
  7. Permits and Location Requirements – Will make sure we are meeting all requirements
  8. Packing Essentials – It can be cold! Waterproof boots, layers, and weatherproof gear. 
  9. Backup Plans for Unpredictable Weather – Have an alternate location ready.
  10. Hiring an Experienced Local Photographer and Planner – Local experts know the best spots and logistics.
