Although I already have some of my own favorite recommendations for my elopement couples, I love trying out some new ones! Esti and David did some exploring in advance to find a unique spot along a trail near Avon, which is just outside of Vail here in Colorado. This short trail led up to the top of a hill overlooking the valley, with mountain views all around!
They had a select few of their family members join them, some of who were here all the way from Israel! It was such a sweet and intimate ceremony, and one of the funniest moments was when David said how he knew from the start how special Esti was to him and how eventually he’d marry her, then added: “It’s one of the only times I can say, I was right.” It had David’s brother (who was officiating) laughing so hard!
Afterwards, David surprised Esti with a piñata filled with chocolate – apparently the one thing David will always have to keep around to keep her happy. 🙂 Then the three of us walked around the trails for some of my new favorite elopement photographs! <3

Your Photographer, Videographer + Collaborator
An introvert at heart, I always value real connection, stories, and conversation over surface-level interaction any day of the week.
Having documented 200+ weddings and elopements on camera over the last decade, if there’s one thing I’ve realized it’s that I have a knack for being the calm, welcoming, and intuitive energy couples didn’t even realize they needed.
So, I invite you to think about what it would feel like to be fully present, unapologetically yourselves, and care-free on your wedding day instead of worrying about what everyone else wants. And take comfort in knowing you have my full support, every step of the way.
