colorado elopement photographer FOR ALL LOVE, FOR ALL PEOPLE

CAPTURING YOUR LOVE & WHAT IT BRINGS OUT IN YOU

I’m a Colorado Elopement Photographer with a story, wanting to tell yours. If you have treasured photos from your childhood, or of family members that have passed, you know how important photography is. You know that trusting someone to capture these memories is a big deal. Your wedding photos won’t fade or get thrown away when the day is done, and they only get more meaningful with age. My approach is simple: take photos that are evocative, authentic, and only get better with time. Take photos that show your hurt, joy, past, future and present. I want to tell your story, from beginning to end through your photos and time with me. This will take vulnerability, and trust, but I promise, it’s worth it and we can do it, together. it’s you & me.

Timeless. Authentic. Vulnerable.

This is not about me, this is about you. Picture your dream day, your dream location, add a third wheel (hello, hi it’s me hehe), popping champagne, vowing the rest of your life to one another. Picture that. Think about it. k? Now let’s make it happen.

This is my vow to you, to capture you guys for who you truly are, not as just another couple. I promise to tell your story, tell your love, and tell your perspectives of one another, unlike any other couple out there. I will leave my heart in your photos, and tell the story of yours.

xoxo, hailes

Colorado elopements & beyond.

This journey can go anywhere in the world. Trust me, I know. My husband and I went to New Zealand on our honeymoon, and the whole trip all I did was pin locations of where to take my amazing couples. I grew up going over seas every summer and winter, to name a few, I went to Africa (twice), India, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Thailand (for almost 6 months). Needless to say, travel is in my blood.

There is no where too far, or too different for us to go to. If you grew up in an exchange school over seas, if you spent time at a favorite family vacation area, or whether you two have a dream location to see, i’m down.

anywhere, anytime, no matter what, count me in. I’ll even help you plan all the travel!

I’m a Colorado Elopement photographer who loves to get dirty, crack jokes, take shots of tequila, and capture those unexpectedly emotional moments you never saw coming.

We’re not gonna run around a field pretending to be every other couple. We are going to do what you guys do best, be you. Pizza, tequila, in your home, your favorite bar, where you first met? Let’s make it mean something, and let’s do your relationship justice of the rawness that lies within.

Hailes is a storyteller. She is the queen of capturing real moments, raw emotion, and authentic love. She gave us not only the most beautiful images and memories, but the opportunity to be known. Hailey is humble, personal, professional, creative, and gifted. Her work is intimate, real, moving, and timeless. I cannot say enough good things about her as a human or as a photographer. She made us comfortable, nothing ever felt stiff or posed, and her wedding knowledge and experience was a gift in both the planning process and on our wedding day. She truly has mastered her craft and I’m so thankful we were able to celebrate our engagement with her by taking pictures in a river and dance the night away together for our wedding.

Hailey is hands down the most talented photographer and gifted individual, who has a way of making you feel completely yourself, and capturing your love in a way no one else can. My husband and I did a photoshoot with her while vacationing in Kauai, and it was seriously one of the most magical days of our lives, that we often daydream about. Hailey had a way of making us feel like we had known her for years, and by the end of the shoot, not only did we feel like she needed to be a part of every major event in our lives but we were blown away by the stunning photos she captured. If you are looking for someone who has a way of capturing emotions in a way no one else can, and has a raw and rare talent when it comes to photography, there is no point in going to anyone but Hailey.

I cannot begin to explain how easy and wonderful our experience with Hailey was. We were on the fence about getting a photographer because of the investment and we didn't want overly staged looking photos. Hailey made us feel so comfortable and got shots in the moment. If you don't know how to pose in photos don't worry because Hailey is really good at giving simple instructions to get great photos! We had so much fun and cherish our photos, they match us and the feeling we wanted so well. You will leave the experience feeling like you have one or two (Taylor her husband is amazing as well, if he's around to help it's a big bonus) new friends.
