Different specialties.
One team behind your wedding.
Photographers, filmmakers, hair & makeup artists, officiants, and coordinators who already know how to work together, so there’s less for you to manage on your wedding day.
Weddings don’t run smoothly by accident.
The easiest wedding days have something in common: the people behind them know the plan and know how to work together. Instead of managing separate vendors, your wedding team shares the same timeline, priorities, and next steps.
Every artist on our team:
Weather shifts. Timelines flex. Experience makes the difference.
Colorado weddings come with changing weather, altitude, access, shifting light, and the occasional surprise. Our team knows how to plan for the realities so you can stay focused on getting married.
Fewer contracts. Fewer emails. One plan.
Our all-inclusive and micro wedding packages include members of this extended team, all coordinated directly through Colorado Outdoor Weddings.
01 – Scheduling + timeline alignment
02 – Team coordination
03 – Travel + location logistics
04 – Clear communication before your wedding
The artists behind the experience
Our photographers know when to guide you and when to get out of the way. Expect natural direction, plenty of laughter, and photos that bring you right back to how your wedding felt.
Photographer
Marcela
Marcela has a way of making people feel comfortable enough to forget there’s a camera around, which is exactly where some of her favorite photos come from. She brings plenty of direction when you need it, but leaves room for the laughter, reactions, and unexpected parts of the wedding to happen naturally.
Off the clock, she’s very capable of starting a puzzle far too late at night and putting together an excellent cheese board.
Photographer
Elisa
Elisa loves photographing weddings in a way that feels beautiful without making the day feel overly directed. She pays attention to the natural energy between people and lets things unfold, stepping in with guidance when it actually helps.
Outside of weddings, she’s usually traveling, cooking, practicing yoga, hiking, or at home in Arvada with her two cats and an ever-growing collection of plants.
Photographer
Kelsey
With more than a decade behind the camera, Kelsey knows how to make wedding photos feel polished without turning the day into a production. She blends an editorial eye with candid storytelling, paying just as much attention to the glances, laughter, and people around you as the big portraits.
When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s probably checking out a new coffee shop or heading out to explore a new trail.
Photographer
Anna
Anna is always looking for connection, beautiful light, and the little interactions happening just outside the obvious parts of a wedding day. Her photography feels thoughtful and natural, with an eye for the people, details, and surroundings that make each wedding its own.
She’s happiest traveling, outside in the sun, or with her partner Shane and their pup Stickeen.
Fun fact: Anna rhymes with Ghana, not banana.
Our filmmakers capture what photos can’t: vows, voices, movement, and the way the whole wedding sounded and felt.
Videographer
Meet Kaylyn
Cinematic, authentic storytelling
Kaylyn is drawn to the parts of a wedding you can’t recreate: the way someone looks at you during your vows, your friends losing it on the dance floor, the conversations happening just outside the frame. Her films are emotional and natural, with a focus on bringing back how the whole day actually felt.
Outside of weddings, she’s usually exploring Colorado or rock climbing somewhere new.
Videographer
Meet Chris
Dynamic, cinematic wedding films
Chris makes energetic, cinematic wedding films that capture more than the ceremony; the voices, reactions, people, and celebration happening around it.
He actually left a career in engineering to become a filmmaker, drawn to the idea that the time we spend with the people we love is worth preserving. His films feel polished, emotional, and unmistakably tied to the couple at the center of them.
Videographer
Meet Liz
Adventure-inspired Storytelling
Liz’s connection to the outdoors shapes the way she sees a wedding day. She’s especially drawn to the way people move through a place, how the landscape becomes part of the story, and the unscripted laughter and emotion that happen when couples are simply being themselves. Her films feel natural, grounded, and unmistakably tied to the Colorado setting around them.
Our hair & makeup artists create looks that feel like you and hold up through an actual Colorado wedding day.
Hair & Makeup

With more than 25 years in the beauty industry, Melanie brings deep experience in both styling and salon leadership. She owns and operates a Breckenridge salon, has trained extensively in cutting, color, extensions, and modern styling, and now mentors other stylists throughout Colorado’s mountain communities. On wedding days, she focuses on polished, timeless looks that feel like you and hold up beautifully from getting ready through the rest of the day.
Hair & Makeup
Team Lead
Crystal
With more than 15 years of experience, Crystal leads a boutique team of bridal stylists who specialize in natural, polished looks for Colorado weddings. She understands how hair and makeup need to perform in outdoor settings and helps couples feel confident from getting ready through the ceremony and beyond. Her team is especially experienced with mountain weddings, where weather, altitude, and long days can all matter.
Hair & Makeup
Team Lead
Kim
A Colorado native, Kim has spent years refining her craft and now leads a team of stylists while continuing to work directly with brides on their wedding day looks. She’s known for relaxed, natural styling and for creating an easy, comfortable getting-ready experience so clients can feel confident and still feel like themselves. She also mentors newer artists, bringing that same steady, thoughtful approach to the team she leads.
Hair & Makeup
TEam Lead
Ashley
Ashley founded her bridal styling team after shifting her focus entirely to weddings, building a traveling team that specializes in elopements and outdoor ceremonies across Colorado. Her team works with dozens of couples each year and understands what hair and makeup need to handle on a real wedding day, from mountain weather to longer celebrations. The result is polished, wedding-ready styling that still feels natural and comfortable.
Our officiants bring warmth, personality, and structure to the part where you actually get married.
Officiant
Shannon
Warm, heartfelt ceremonies
Shannon’s path to officiating started with a spontaneous yes when a close friend asked her to lead a vow renewal, and it quickly became something she loved. After years of living and working around the world, she now calls Colorado home and brings that same openness and warmth to every ceremony she leads. Her style is personal, relaxed, and grounded in getting to know the couple so the ceremony actually feels like them.
Officiant
Phil
Joyful, engaging ceremonies
With nearly 15 years of experience, Phil brings an easygoing mix of heart, humor, and calm to every ceremony he leads.

Officiant
Benjamin
Thoughtful, kind ceremonies
After decades in executive leadership, Ben made a full-time move into celebrancy, bringing with him years of writing, storytelling, and people-focused leadership.

His ceremonies are reflective, heartfelt, and centered on the meaning of the commitment being made.
Officiant
Jasmin
Connection-driven, joyful ceremonies
