When I get to document your Colorado elopement or intimate destination wedding, my priority is simple: you and your connection. I’m here to capture the real story: the quiet moments, the honest emotions, the little things that make your day yours.
Your wedding day isn’t meant to be anyone else’s version of perfect. It’s meant to be personal. So let’s build something intentional. We can chase light, breathe in the scenery, be playful, be tender… whatever helps create memories that feel meaningful and entirely your own.
I’ve learned that the best moments in life never happen when you’re busy performing for other people’s expectations. They happen when you slow down, breathe, and let yourself actually feel what’s in front of you. That’s why I’m obsessed with helping couples throw out expectations and create a day rooted in presence, not performance.
When you work with me as your elopement photographer, it’s not about posing perfectly or living up to tradition. It’s about slowing down enough to feel the hand you’re holding, breathe in the scenery around you, and make memories that last longer than the photos.
Because your story deserves to be lived first, photographed second.
"Let me just say that I was very nervous going into this session (prior to ever talking with MiCaela) as never in my life had I ever had professional photos taken of me, let alone of me and my partner, and I was SO nervous that it would be awkward/staged/uncomfortable. However, I kid you not from the MOMENT MiCaela reached out to me all of my nerves were put at ease. She was so dedicated to making this an enjoyable, memorable experience and took so much time and energy (with multiple follow up emails/FaceTimes/texts) to make sure that both the pictures and experience turned out to be everything and more we could ever dream of." — Kaleigh + Roger
"MiCaela was amazing! She effortlessly pulled together an amazing photo shoot for us that looked exactly what we were envisioning! She made all our crazy ideas happen, she was even willing to hike to find the perfect sunrise spot! She came up with poses that made us feel natural and comfortable! I’ve gotten about a thousand compliments on the photos she took! I couldn’t be happier with the photos and the experience!!" — Jordi + Luke
"My fiancé and I did a couples shoot with Micaela and it was one of the most AMAZING nights! We had never really done professional photos before and had just met her in person that night but she made us feel so comfortable and SO valued!!! She got to know who we are as a couple and wanted to do her very best to bring out the beauty of our relationship. It was so much fun and we left feeling very refreshed and I gained a new confidence behind the camera! If you are looking for an adventure/date while also getting BOMB photos of memories with your partner I highly recommend. She is the sweetest!" — Hannah + Silas
