So what do you mean you're dedicated to bringing my dream non-traditional wedding to life?


Well if you're here you are likely wanting to elope instead of having a traditional wedding. There are so many reasons you might have chose this path such as the desire for the non-traditional, an intimate experience, adventure, the list goes on but let's face it; traditional weddings often revolve around guests. Opting for an elopement means prioritizing an intimate experience centered on you and your unique bond.


Who says that you have to get married in a church followed by a reception? It's your day! Do what you want with that day! So where do I come in and how am I more than your photographer? Well, I can help you plan out exactly what you want to do on your special day that's more than just reciting your vows. A few examples would be: beer-tasting, lounging in a hammock in the afternoon, going on a hike, again the list goes on.


You can expect a completely personalized experience that is tailored to be uniquely you.

Testimonials

Emily Gonzalez


Wow! Talk about amazing photographer! She was patient and made us feel comfortable for our engagement photos. I absolutely love the way the pictures came out and really really love them!

Naba Khan


My experience with Carol Gardner could not have been more perfect. Carol was incredibly welcoming and comfortable to be around. She was extremely accommodating and worked with me to make the shoot exactly as I had envisioned..only better, thanks to her artistic vision and creativity. Not only was shooting smooth, comfortable, and professional, but she got the pictures back to us in what I can only describe as record time.

Carla Rivera


Carol was great! She was very personable, and easy going. She made the experience fun and also encouraged us to be genuine. She caught queues between my husband and I that made for even more amazing photos.

Hi there! I'm Carol!

In 2023, I relocated to Colorado with my small family consisting of my lovingly supportive husband and our precious daughter. The move introduced me to a whole new world, disrupting my old routine and offering fresh experiences. I live for the smell of fresh brewed coffee, the feel of crisp breezes, and beautiful mountain sunsets. I'm a firm believer that we as humans are extremely capable of amazing things and that individuality is beautiful.
