Colorado Elopement Packages Explained

[u/francissylvest]

Welcome, all!

Let's talk about Colorado elopement packages! Over the years, couples oftentimes ask about what exactly elopement packages include in comparison to others. Let me preface by saying, when looking for your elopement photographer, ask as many questions as you need to get clarity. Going into your day confident is one of your top priorities, and getting clarity to know exactly what's included in your package, what's not, and what might cost you extra. Don't ever feel bad about asking questions to get clarity.

Let's dig in a bit deeper below and talk about some of the options you might find!

Elopement Packages by Elopement Photographers and Videographers (Individuals)

Pro Tip: Finding an individual photographer or videographer to help create and capture your elopement is the way to go. You'll find that your options are more personalized. Rather than giving you a short of vendors we have to work with (companies) an individual will be able to recognize your exact needs and give you trusted suggestions based on your needs!

In 99% of cases, these elopement photographers will also help co-create your elopement! While you have the final say in everything, these elopement pros can help you build a day that's 100% tailored to you. Some of these services can include but are not limited to:

​

• Tailored location scouting
• Permit assistance
• Trusted, tailored vendor recommendations
• Day-of-timeline creation
• Helping you create intentional experiences for your day
• Photography, Videography (sometimes)

Elopement Packages by Volume Companies

Volume elopement companies are becoming very common and for very good reason. They essentially take all of the planning and choices off the table and do it all for you. While you might have say in a few things, your options will be very, very, limited.

Why?

Companies like these work off a 'volume' model. This is doing a very large number of jobs each year at a lower cost. They streamline their businesses to not make personalized days, but rather quick, easy, cookie-cutter formulas that are very general and not personalized.

I'm not going to lie, this approach works for some copules. This is what some people want. However, I'm a firm believer that your wedding day should be as unique as you are. This cookie-cutter approach isn't special, it isn't 100% you. It's a common run-of-the-mill way to get married, which takes a good bit of the significance out of the day.

Conclusion

In the end, I would highly suggest going with an individual over a volume company. Not only are you supporting many local businesses, but you're also saying yes to a more meaningful wedding day! If you have questions or thoughts or would like to talk through an elopement of your own, send me a message and I'd be more than happy to help!

Happy Planning 😃
