Let’s dream for a second. Imagine what it would be like to have a Colorado elopement that looks however you want it to. No one telling you what your wedding is “supposed to” include. No overly-rehearsed, cliche traditions. Just you and your partner celebrating in a way that feels true to you. You can have that. And we’re the Colorado elopement photographers who can help you bring that day to life.
I provide you with the toolkit to bring your Colorado elopement to life. You can rest easy, knowing I’ve got your back. Here’s a few things you get when you work with me for your adventure elopement:
I craft your Colorado elopement timeline, based on your specific location, length of coverage, season, and time of day.
I know how long it’ll take to hike up that mountain, can provide advice on what to incorporate into your ceremony, and everything in between.
As a Colorado elopement photographer, I know these mountains like the back of my hand, and use that knowledge to help you choose your perfect elopement spot.
As a Colorado local, I spend all my free time out exploring our mountains and finding hidden gems for my elopement couples.
Every couple who books their elopement with me gets access to my Elopement Dashboard. The dashboard is here to answer all your questions about eloping in Colorado.
It’s a jam-packed resource with access to my 90 page elopement planning mega-guide, lists of Colorado vendors, and my best elopement tips and tricks.
Your Colorado elopement day doesn’t have to be dictated by the made-up rules of the wedding industry.
You are cordially invited to take those unsolicited opinions on what your adventure wedding or Colorado elopement should look like, and throw them away.
Your adventure elopement, your rules. As Colorado elopement photographers, we’re here to ensure you get that.
Can you picture it? Your dream adventure elopement? Together, we can make it happen. As experienced Colorado elopement photographers and elopement experts, we’re here to help you bring it to life.
You crave a Colorado elopement that’s true to your distinct story and not a boring copy of what the wedding industry tells you your wedding “should” look like.
You believe your adventure elopement or Colorado elopement should be a reflection of your story.
You’re not a fan of having 200 onlookers witnessing your vow reading or first kiss. You prefer privacy and authenticity.
You’ve been told countless times from friends how quickly their wedding day went by and how it felt like a rushed blur. You’d rather savor every moment of your Colorado elopement, and spend less time chatting up your third cousin Jimmy.
You believe nature is the best altar. You’re excited about the idea of adventure eloping outdoors. You’ll pass on the indoor, manicured, stale venues.
Holy cow!! What can I say about Sheena... she is freaking phenomenal. I met her last summer and she captured photos of my boyfriend and I. Those photos were KILLER - she knows exactly how to showcase the love between us and still be able to show off the scenery as well. We loved her SO much that we are now having her capture our elopement as well. Not only does Sheena take the most beautiful photos ever - but she invests SO much time in helping plan. Sheena is one the kindest souls ever, she has a heart of gold, and she truly invests so much in her work - and it really shows!
Words cannot express how incredibly amazing Sheena is. Not only are her photos breathtaking, but she is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. Throughout the almost year I have known Sheena she has gone far above and beyond her "job" as a photographer. She helped me far more throughout the wedding planning process than I could have hoped and often was there as my sounding board and quite frankly, my venting buddy! I seriously cannot stop staring at our photos, I can't believe they're really my husband and I. Sheena is BEYOND talented at her craft. I am so glad I found her and you will not regret it either!!
We can't say enough about Sheena and her husband Ed. Everything was incredibly organized, Sheena is INCREDIBLY organized and thinks of everything. Sheena and Ed are an absolute pleasure to work with, to the point where we would call them friends now. On our wedding day it rained, actually downpoured with no cover, during the ceremony. Plans went out the window. And still the photos are incredible all the same. We can't recommend Sheena and Ed enough if you're looking for a wedding or adventure photographer. They're absolutely the best.
Oh hey, Sheena here! I’m the lead Colorado elopement photographer and adventure elopement photographer over here at Sheena Shahangian Photography (and a gal who also eloped in Colorado).
I’m based in Fort Collins, Colorado, tucked away in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and I know these mountains like the back of my hand.
I believe your Colorado elopement photographer should be more than just a vendor: they should be your go-to resource when bringing your adventure elopement to life.
I understand how difficult it can be to find the right Colorado elopement photographer for your elopement day, so I don’t want to scratch the surface with you.
