For the dreamers & the wilde

ELORA DANEN

✔ You’re All About the Wild + Unscripted Moments.

Let's face it - we all need a little chaos now and again. Wind in your hair, hiking boots under your dress, maybe even a little dirt on your shoes — if you can laugh through it, I'll be the perfect match to capture your Wedding Day Photography in Colorado.

✔ You want more than just a photographer.

From scouting the dreamiest location to pinning your veil or sneaking you snacks, I’m more than just the one behind the camera. I'm your partner in adventure. Need help finding the perfect spot, fixing your veil (dress shopping?) or bringing backup snacks? I'm there for it!

✔ You’re Looking for a Stress-Free Experience.

Need someone to keep the timeline on track, fix your bouquet, or remind you to breathe during the vows? I’m your go-to for the little details—calming nerves, bustling dresses, and making sure you stay hydrated (and maybe sneak us a snack or two). Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll still be taking photos—I’m a multitasking ninja.









✔ You appreciate both elegance & spontaneity. 

Whether your day includes a classic first dance or an impromptu run through the rain, I’m ready to capture it all with an artistic touch and a sense of fun. From the quiet, emotional moments to the wild, carefree ones, I’ll be there for it all—ready to tell your story in a way that’s uniquely you.







Photography has been a constant in my life, from my aunt showing me the ropes behind a camera to my first job in healthcare, where I discovered my love for helping people, to creating moments that matter most. As a Colorado Wedding Photographer, I’ve spent the last several years combining my passions for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera and turning their stories into timeless memories in my home of Colorado. It’s a joy to document the moments that truly matter, creating lasting treasures for couples who want their stories told in an authentic and heartfelt way.

PORTFOLIO

I believe in the one of a kind romance, that deep love story.

Chase the unscripted stories...

I’m not just your Colorado wedding photographer—I’m your adventure planner, a lover of adventure, a secret woodworking enthusiast. Based in Colorado, I serve adventurous couples across the U.S., including Arizona and beyond.  

your experience. your vibe. your story. 

 If you’re excited to toss aside the conventional and aren’t afraid to get a little dirt on your dress or sand in your shoes, because you know that these experiences are what give your wedding day both heart and soul, then you’re my kind of people.  Your wedding photos should reflect YOU. As a Wedding Photographer based in Colorado and serving Arizona, I’m here to make every moment count and get you the beautiful photos you deserve!


Frequently Asked QUESTIONS

Honestly? The ones that reflect YOU. Whether you’re hiking to a secret spot in the Colorado Rockies, saying “I do” in the Arizona desert, or planning a cozy backyard celebration, I love capturing moments that feel true to who you are as a couple and creating a lifetime friend in the process! 






What’s your favorite type of wedding or elopement to photograph?

You bet I do! After booking, I’ll send you a Location Guide (and a Style Guide) packed with outfit inspiration and epic location ideas to match your vibe. For elopements or weddings, if the venue allows, I’ll even head out ahead of time to scout the most stunning spots and check the lighting to make sure everything’s picture-perfect. Just a heads-up, travel fees apply for adventures more than two hours from Denver or Phoenix!



















Do you help with finding locations for our session?







Your wedding day is a one-of-a-kind adventure, and your gallery will reflect every moment that meets my quality standards! On average, you can expect 600-1,000 professionally edited photos. The final number may vary depending on your coverage and the unique events of your day—but rest assured, I don’t limit the number of photos you’ll receive. Every image that tells your story will be included to to tell your story!

























Do you limit the number of wedding photos we get?

You’re not alone—I hear this all the time! It’s my job to make you forget the camera’s even there. With fun prompts, natural poses, and a few jokes, I’ll keep things light and relaxed. By the end, you’ll feel like naturals, and your photos will capture the real connection and joy you share. Think of it as a fun date with me as your third wheel (a really good one with non-stop laughs, I promise!).





















What if we’re camera shy or feel awkward about photos?

Yes, I do! I’m all about keeping the planning process smooth and stress-free. This is why my payment structure is already broken into flexible installments, with the final one due 30 days before your big day. A 40% retainer secures your wedding or elopement date, so we can dive right into planning your unforgettable adventure!































do you offer payment plans for your services? 

Yes, yes, YES! I’m all about non-traditional, adventurous celebrations. From intimate elopements on mountain trails to spontaneous vow exchanges in the desert, I love working with couples who want to break the mold and make their day uniquely theirs.



























Do you work with couples who aren’t into traditional weddings?

If I’m already booked for your date, no worries—you still have the option to work with me through an associate shooter! I’ll bring in a trusted photographer who matches my style and skill to photograph your day while I handle everything else—planning your timeline, handling communication, editing your images, and delivering your gallery. It’s the same adventurous and seamless experience you’d expect, just with me leading the way behind the scenes!

























what if you're not available for our date, but we still want you?

I highly recommend keeping the  engagement session (it's already included at no cost to you!)—it’s a fun way for us to connect, get you comfortable in front of the camera, and show you how I work, so everything feels seamless on your wedding day. If you prefer to skip it, no problem—I’m happy to adjust your package to fit your needs!





































we do not need engagement photos, can we remove that?

Easy—by keeping things light, fun, and full of laughter. You won’t find any stiff poses here! My goal is to make you forget there’s even a camera in front of you. By the end of your session, you’ll feel like pros, whether it’s your Denver engagement shoot or your Colorado elopement.
























How do you make sessions feel less awkward?

You bet I travel! Based in both Denver, Colorado, and Phoenix, Colorado, I’m always ready to hit the road (or fly) to—whether it’s in the Midwest, across the U.S., or somewhere far beyond! Here’s the cool part: No lodging fees for Colorado or Arizona Weddings! If your wedding takes me outside of Denver or Phoenix, a small travel fee applies—just enough to keep my adventure gear fueled and my soul ready for the next epic journey!
































do you travel and are there fees in addition to your. costs?

If you’re ready to trek through lush forests, stumble upon hidden gems, and dance under the stars—all while getting your dream photos—lace up those hiking boots (or kick them off for the beach) and let's get going!

Let the Adventure Begin!

Elora had so many creative visions and I feel like I did not have to think at all when it came to poses, etc. She also has the best vibe - she is so funny, and from the first conversation I had with her, it felt like I was talking to one of my best friends. Photographer turned friend! Her work speaks for itself - just stunning. Her photography is an absolute dream, she is an absolute dream of a human!

"Her work speaks for itself-just stunning!...an absolute dream!"

Elora was the perfect choice for us when it came to our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. She is so fun and works really hard to make you feel comfortable. She had so many poses lined up which resulted in such a wide variety of photos to choose from. At our wedding, she was there from the beginning until the end taking so many photos of everything going on. 

"She is so fun and works really hard to make you feel comfortable."

Elora was a delight to work with! Her excitement for us was palpable & made us feel like we were celebrated & having fun.... Neither of us like having our picture taken. She has a true eye for this...Also, any photographer that geeks out over photographing a lightsaber fight in your wedding clothes deserves 5 stars!

"flexible, kind and so bubbly. she made our elopement feel like ours and ours alone."
