the people behind the brand

Adam, founder and Colorado wedding photographer, at Blue Lakes

Meet Adam

founder, photographer, planner

AKA: Worldwide adventurer, unapologetic cheeseball, shameless romantic

Not to sound cliché, but there’s nothing I love more than love. And I do what I do because it’s truly the best job in the world—getting to capture your excitement and emotion on camera (while having an incredible experience!) is a feeling that can’t be replaced.

My latest adventure? Creating inclusive wedding packages that allow you to choose what you want and leave the rest while knowing that your celebration will be everything you’ve ever dreamed of—and more.

Can be found: Backpacking around the world, bungee jumping, watching rom-coms, adding to my tattoo collection, finding the best bagels and pizza everywhere I go.

Marcela, Colorado wedding photographer, at Blue Lakes

Meet Marcela

Photographer

Explorer by heart, history teacher by past, and forever hunting down the best cheese board in town.

Hey I’m Marcela and I believe your love story deserves to be captured in a way that feels real and true to you. I fell in love with photographing elopements because there is something so special about couples creating a day that reflects their connection in the most personal and meaningful way.

I live for the messy laughs, the happy tears, and the quiet moments that make your day yours. I am a big believer in finding joy in the little things, laughing until it hurts, and living a life full of connection and adventure.

Can be found: outside exploring a new trail or deep in a puzzle I swore I would not start at midnight.

I’m a filmmaker and storyteller who believes in capturing love stories with authenticity and care. For me, filmmaking is more than just recording moments—it’s about preserving the emotions, unspoken connections, and in-between glances that make your story unique.

work with us

We’re champions of empathy, inclusivity, service, and gratitude

“Our elopement was so stress-free! We were initially planning a big, traditional
wedding, but then we realized we didn’t have to accommodate anything other than
what we wanted!

We had the best elopement experience thanks to Adam! He made it an unforgettable
experience with just me, my husband, and our dog. He even set up a schedule, asked
us what we wanted, and he made it happen. All we had to do was show up. Not to
mention, the pictures are absolutely unique, adventurous, and amazing!”
