I Will Always Use Our Love As My Compass | Bohemian Elopement in Colorado

After spending four days in the mountains of Colorado with Mallory and Clay, we felt more like family than friends. From whitewater rafting in the ice cold San Miguel river, stuffing our faces with cheesy hot dogs (Clay’s family tradition!), off-roading over mountain passes, and celebrating all over the town of Ouray, we know both them and Mallory’s two sons, very well.

When you see their film and hear their story told through their letters and vows, you’ll see how these two were lost until they found each other, how Mallory’s free-spirited nature melded so well with Clay’s adventurous spirit, and how an immeasurable, never-ending love can be formed between two people. You’ll also see Clay giving some of the sweetest vows we’ve ever heard, as a father to Mallory’s sons. Maybe by the end of their film, you’ll feel like family too.

Planning on eloping to Colorado (or anywhere else?) sometime soon? We would love to film it! Please get in touch.

How To Film Bride & Groom Prep | BTS of Noah & Mal’s Wedding Film (Part 2)

Watch Part 1 of the BTS here!
This is how I film every aspect of the bride and groom getting ready on the wedding day. In this video, I cover:

  • How to easily get gorgeous lighting using available light sources
  • The exact audio setup I use for crispy letter reading audio
  • Fancy prism trick shots for in-camera effects
  • Techniques to make even small or ugly rooms look amazing on camera.

Plus every single lens, focal length, aperture, and ISO detail is right on the screen for you to follow along! And remember, this is just part two, I’ll be releasing two more parts that cover every part of how I film a wedding ceremony and reception.
