As the owner of Third Eye Photography, I am a Telluride wedding photographer. Maybe it’s the way the mountains hug the town but this place is the definition of magical. If you’re dreaming about saying “I do” with mountains in the background and adventure in the air this is the place for you!
Views for Days (and the Best Backdrops Ever)
Telluride is basically showing off—and I’m totally here for it. Whether you’re tying the knot at a high-altitude overlook or saying your vows in a secret meadow surrounded by wildflowers, the scenery does half the work for us (okay, maybe 60%).
These epic mountain backdrops turn even the simplest moments into wow moments. And honestly, that’s one of my favorite things to capture—real emotion with an unreal view behind it.
Light That Makes You Look Like a Movie Star
Let’s talk about light for a sec. As a photographer, I geek out over great lighting, and Telluride? She’s got it in spades. There’s something about the way sunlight filters through the mountains—soft, golden, glowy… basically perfect.
Golden hour here is next-level. If you’re up for a sunset stroll or a little post-ceremony adventure, trust me—we’ll get the kind of photos that make you say, “Whoa, is that really us?”
Big Weddings, Tiny Elopements—I’m Your Telluride Wedding Photographer
One of the best parts about Telluride is how it works for every kind of celebration. Whether you’re planning a full-on wedding weekend with 100+ guests or sneaking away for an intimate elopement with just the two of you (and maybe your dog), this place fits the vibe.
And yep—I photograph both elopements and full weddings, so no matter how you’re planning to celebrate, I’ve got your back (and your best angles).
Why I Keep Coming Back as a Telluride Wedding Photographer
Telluride isn’t just pretty. It’s peaceful, laid-back, and full of heart. Every couple I’ve worked with here brings their own kind of energy—some are down-to-earth and outdoorsy, others are total party animals (love you guys), and some are a mix of both. That’s what makes it fun.
For me, the best photos come from the in-between moments: the wind catching your veil, that post-ceremony happy dance, the look you give each other when you think no one’s watching. And in a place like Telluride, those moments feel even more special.
Planning a Telluride Wedding or Elopement?
Here are a few quick tips from a seasoned mountain-loving photographer:
- Be ready for weather – Mountain skies like to keep us guessing. Bring a jacket and roll with it—it always makes for great photos.
- Add a little adventure – Whether it’s a hike, a jeep ride, or a quiet first look on a trail, Telluride has so many ways to make your day feel like you.
- Plan for golden hour photos – Trust me on this one. The light is ✨magic✨ and it’s worth carving out 15-20 minutes just for the two of you.
So if you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s beautiful, fun, and full of epic views—Telluride is calling. And if you want a photographer who’ll hype you up, climb a mountain with you, or capture every real, joyful, ridiculous, beautiful second of your day—I’d love to be there.
Let’s make some magic. ️
