Thank you for considering Blue Orchid Photography for you Colorado or destination wedding. This guide is designed to walk you through the experience, investment, and everything included when you choose a photographer who prioritizes candid storytelling, adventure, and genuine connection.
My approach is simple: create a seamless, stress-free experience so you can fully enjoy your day while I capture the moments you'll relive for the rest of your life. From intimate Colorado mountain ceremonies to beaches, deserts, and worldwide destinations, your love story deserves thoughtful planning and intentional documentation.
Here's where your dream day starts to come to life!

Colorado Elopement PRICING & Experience

PHOTOGRAPHY

My couples tend to be laid back, adventurous, and wildly in love. They want meaningful moments, not stiff poses. They want to feel something when they look back at their photos. And they want a photographer who's not just showing up with a camera, but showing up with energy, heart and a whole lot of care. That's where I come in.
I don't just document weddings. I help you create an experience that feels intentional, beautiful, and completely yours, whether that's a quiet Colorado mountaintop, a windswept beach in Mexico, or anywhere in the world your love takes you.
I'm a Colorado based elopement and destination wedding photographer who believes your wedding day should feel more like and adventure and less like a production. I'm here for the couples who laugh loud, love hard, and want their day to feel like them- not a Pinterest checklist.
When I'm not chasing the light in the mountains or hopping on plane for a destination elopement, you'll probably find me road tripping with my dogs, blasting music in my Jeep, or driving way too far for Chipotle (worth it every time). Ice cream is absolutely a food group, and yes, I've eaten it for breakfast, no regrets.
HEY, I’M Stacy
PRICING GUIDE 2026
You're not planning a wedding. You're planning a "holy sh*t, we actually did this" kind of day. This isn't about checking boxes. It's about chasing a feeling. I don't just show up with a camera. I help you build a day that feels like a story you'll tell forever. The kind your friends wish they were there for and your future selves will still get chills watching back.
Designed for couples who dream big
I use top-of-the-line equipment and have honed my technical skills to ensure that every shot is of the highest quality, even in challenging conditions.
HIGH-QUALITY GEAR
I don't "pose" you, I let you be. The best photos don't come from perfect posture. They come from laughter, messy hair, wind in your veil, and that look you give each other when no one else is watching. That's what I'm chasing.
ADVENTURE READY ATTITUDE
I excel at planning every detail of the shoot, including logistics, timing, and weather considerations, ensuring that everything goes smoothly and the focus remains on capturing incredible moments.
I plan like a pro. but I move like a storyteller.
We're not just showing up to take pictures. We're creating a story you'll still feel in your chest 20 years from now. Whether that's standing on a cliff in Colorado, barefoot in Mexico, or sipping margaritas in Bora Bora with sand in your dress. It's about being present, wild, and completely in love. I just happen to be there documenting it all.
Your day is not a photoshoot, its an experience.
You don't need a clipboard, a strict timeline, or someone telling you when to smile. You need someone who can read the room, chase the light, feel the energy, and know exactly when something magical is about to happen and capture it before it disappears. That's what I do.
I'm not here to run your wedding. I'm here to unlock it.
The short answer? I don't do boring. Ever.
What Set’s Me Apart?
Whitney and Garett
Her colors in both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures were breathtaking! We were so impressed by how she was able to get a shot of almost all of our guests! I couldn't have dreamed of better pictures.
"Stacy was absolutely amazing to work with. She made sure we stayed relaxed and found ways to capture candid moments and posed."
A WALK THROUGH OF THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE
THE PROCESS
The Vibe Check.
This is where we make sure we're a hell yes for each other. We hop on a call, swap stories, talk about your dream day, and get real about what you actually want (not what Pinterest told you to want). No pressure. No awkward sales vibes. Just humans connecting and dreaming big.
If we vibe, we lock it in and start building something unforgettable.
Step One
The Dream Gets A Game Plan.
Now we turn your "what if we..." into "holy sh*t this is happening."
I help you:
- Pick locations that actually feel like you
- Build a timeline that leaves space to breath, laugh, cry, wander and soak it all in.
- Navigate permits, logistics, weather, and travel so nothing feels overwhelming.
This is where chaos turns into calm, and the adventure starts to feel real.
Step Two
Your Day, Your Way.
This is the part you'll remember forever.
No stiff posing. No forced moments. No weird energy.
Just you two doing your thing, laughing, holdings hands, getting emotional, running through waves, hiking to epic views, popping champagne, or dancing barefoot in the sand, while I quietly capture every real beautiful second.
You don't perform. You live it. I'll handle the rest.
Step Three
Relive It All FOREVER.
After your day, I get to work turning everything into something you'll never stop rewatching.
You'll receive:
- A gallery full of emotional, cinematic, wildly you images
- Moments you forgot even happened
- The feeling of being back there every time you open it
This isn't about pretty photos. It's about having proof that you lived one of the best days of your life.
Step Four
The best wedding day's aren't defined by centerpiece or checklists, they're built from the memories you carry with you long after.
Whether we're hiking through Colorado forests, exploring desert rocks, or getting windblown on the beach, I want your elopement to FEEL like and adventure you'll talk about forever.
Because your day shouldn't be about "stuff."
It should be about the moment your partner squeezes your hand, the view that takes your breath away, the freedom to write your own story... and the photos to help your relive it all.
experience > things
I'm not here to rush your day or cram moments into a timeline. You deserve a photography experience that feels intentional, immersive, and personal, not cookie cutter. That's why I take on fewer couples each year, so every story get the energy, attention, and heart it deserves.
Your gallery won't be full of filler photos.
It will be full of meaning. The quiet glances, the loud laughter, the in between magic that truly tells your story.
You're not just another booking. You're a connection I deeply value.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Every story deserves to be celebrated exactly as it is. I proudly photograph ALL couples, LGBTQ+, straight, interracial, unconventional, wildly in love pairs who aren't afraid to show up as their truest selves. Your identity, your relationship, and your love are honored here, always.
Your elopement isn't just a day... it's a safe, joyful, affirming space to be fully you. And I'll be right there cheering you on while capturing every real, raw, powerful moment.
LOVE IS LOVE
