Elopements are the future!” . We’ve heard this so many times, and while we feel it is true, it’s what we’ve been doing for several years now. . An elopement, either here in Colorado or worldwide, is a fantastic alternative to a full scale wedding. We love both, don’t get us wrong, but in our current pandemic situation, it really is a fantastic alternative. . Our packages are “different” (always a catch phrase for photographers) in that we pick you up in our adventure van (built out for elopement couples) and drive to several beautiful places for pictures, similar to the ones in our gallery. We take our time, think creatively, and focus on the two of you. After all is done we usually pop a bottle of some sort too! . Every one of our elopement couples have said that this was perfect for them and we have always been super humbled by the reviews we’ve received. (See our front page on the site for just a few) . If the pandemic has put your plans on pause but you still want to be married, reach out. This is our forté. . #elope #elopementphotographer #wedding #colorado #coloradoelopementphotographer #estesparklocal #estesparkwedding #rmnpwedding #rmnpphotographer #estesparkelopementphotographer #mywed #ispwp #fearlessphotographer #happybride #happygroom #brideideas #weddingideas #elopementideas #weddinginspiration #smallweddings #indiebride #couplegoals #adventurealways #elopementcollective #loveintentionally https://instagr.am/p/CLUmKidjtQe/

Leave no trace & elopements. Part 3 of 7. Dispose of waste properly. Waste can have one of the biggest impacts on the land, water, wildlife, & the experience of others. Picking up after yourself & packing out waste is definitely not always pleasant. “Pack it in, pack it out.” If you’re going on a hike of any significant length, you’re likely going to be taking food, water, & other items with you. Plan & prepare snacks & meals that don’t create a lot of waste with packaging that is easy to keep clean or pack out. Carry some bags with you to pack out your trash, & if you see trash that others have left behind, pick it up. It’s up to all of us to keep nature wild & beautiful. One thing that many people overlook is organic waste. Those orange peels, apple cores, & pistachio shells may be organic & natural, however, they are likely not natural to the specific environment you are in. Organic waste can provide unnatural food sources for animals. Besides, no one wants to see a bunch of orange peels littering the trails in the mountains. Certain national parks have restrictions about what flowers can be used. Certain types of flowers can tend to drop seeds or loose petals or flower head easily. Many place do not allow the use of baby’s breath or other florals for this reason. Other things not allowed is the throwing of rice, flower petals, plastic confetti, bird seed, etc. Most of the time you will also not be allowed to place large decorations or arches, use balloons in any way, or place signs in the park. Parks & other such lands are public spaces, so it is best to keep it simple! Who needs a bunch of decor when you have amazing views! With hiking elopements, sometimes you may have to pack out toilet paper & other waste. There are many systems available that are specifically made for this purpose. In other areas, human waste can be buried. It should be buried in an area away from human traffic & at least 200 feet from any water sources. Knowing the regulations of a certain area will go a long way in helping you plan. Stay tuned for the rest! (at Telluride, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0m8bR2jZe9/?igshid=1sjg0c5gwoidd

8 Reasons Why Two Wedding Photographers are Better than One

At Elevate Photography, we are often asked “Do you think I should have two photographers?” Unless the couple is eloping or having a wedding with less than 50 guests our answer is “Yes!” Here is why:

More Candid Photos of Family and Friends

Weddings provide a rare opportunity to gather the most important people in your lives and celebrate. While the lead photographer’s job is to focus on the couple, wedding party and immediate family, a second photographer has the freedom to find fun or emotional moments throughout the day and document them, whether it is a family friend or a cousin. Countless times, couples have told us that they treasured a particular candid photo of a grandparent who passed away or a flower girl who is now a teenager.

Wedding day candids that will be treasured forever.

Bride and Groom’s reaction to Seeing Each other for the First Time

There is something magical about the moment that a bride and groom see each other for the first time on their wedding day. The raw emotion is palatable as the couple contemplates their lives together. By documenting the bride and groom’s reaction from different perspectives to that special moment, couples get to re-live one of the most important moments of their lives.

The perfect first look captured by two photographers simultaneously.

Two Unique Perspectives

Having two photographers means getting two artistic interpretations of the same event. At Elevate, our second photographers are all amazing artists in their own right giving couples two different, yet beautiful perspectives. Second shooters also have the opportunity to push their creativity – selecting a different lens or using the light in a unique way.

    Different Locations During the Ceremony

Having two photographers means we can literally be at two places at once. The lead photographer can be photographing the bride walking into the ceremony while the second shooter is capturing her dress flowing down the aisle from behind.  One photographer can be focused on the bride’s reaction while the groom says his vows, while the other one is focused on his parents.  It really allows us to tell a much deeper story of your wedding ceremony.

  Bride & Groom Getting Ready Shots

Typically, the lead photographer shoots the bride getting ready with her mom and bridesmaids while the groom and his entourage are preparing for the big day. Having a second photographer means that the couple also gets photos of the groom joking with his friends, enjoying a moment of quiet reflection or learning to tie a bow tie. We think he is important too!

Great Candids of Wedding Party

The lead photographer’s job is to capture the overall shot, especially when it comes to the wedding party.  While the lead is capturing the overall group, the second shooter can focus on individuals.  This allows the viewer to really get in there and experience the fun and joy of the wedding day.

Reception Details

It is the lead photographer’s job to get family photos immediately following the ceremony. This is also the best time to photograph your reception details because the room is typically finished for dinner. The second photographer can be documenting all the hard work and thought you put into the reception details before their guests and purses are in the way.

On-Site Backup

All of Elevate Photography’s lead photographers and second shooters are required to have back up gear, because stuff happens. A battery can go dead, a light can burn out. Having a second shooter means that special moments from the day won’t be missed because one photographer can cover for the other until the situation is reminded.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a band on tour? RJ Reynolds of Stolas gives us his experience and perspective; an honest and personal look at life on the road. In case you missed it, here’s Chapter 1. Here’s the next installment of his tour diary:

  Chapter 2: Release Navidad

Picking up where we left off, our crew piled into the van in preparation for an overnight drive to Houston, TX. Sergio and Rex have SO’s living in Houston and San Antonio, respectively, so we decided to do the whole thing in a stretch. Additionally, Henry from Mylets (and by “from,” I mean I just refer to him as Henry Mylets cause he’s a one-man loop monster) has a lady in El Paso, so we added that stop to the list and set off.

Booking agents like to parse out long drives with a day off, but sometimes, the trips are so long that there is invariably a whole day spent in the van. On those days, the claustrophobia really sets in for everyone. You want to spread out and relax in solitary but it feels like you’ve crammed your entire extended family onto a van seat for Thanksgiving, replete with all of the off color jokes and bad breath that carries them. You begrudge everyone any bit of personal space you must inevitably concede. You’d just as soon bite someone’s hand than pass them the aux cable, and then one of you tells a great joke and the mood soars like Grandpa Joe on Fizzy Lifting Dri

nk. On top of managing all the other resources on tour like money and gas, morale must be watched closely lest it waver.

After the prerequisite stops, we pulled into my grandparents’ house at 3AM, quietly filing in and getting some much needed rest. My grandparents have supported my touring endeavors for nearly four years now, and I am so grateful this part of my life brings me much closer to my family on a regular(ish) basis. I don’t think it’s any secret that most touring musicians I know wouldn’t be doing any of this if not for the support of our families and loved ones.

And as fate would have it, the next morning my family got a lot bigger when I proposed to my girlfriend over FaceTime. I know you’re really excited about the gooey details of that last sentence, and I won’t deny you: FaceTime is a wonderful service available on Apple products that allows video calling via WiFi or mobile data. It’s so versatile and useful to both brick-and-mortar businesses and workers on the go. Like this one time, I used it to ask my girlfriend to marry me.

I was riding that high when we rolled into the Houston show that evening. Texas proper is one of our favorite places to play. The fans are endlessly supportive and exponentially multiply the energy we give them, so my romantic elation only amplified what was already a killer show. All of our unwavering love to Walter’s, Manny, Vox Vocis, and everybody who got down with us that night.

We made into San Antonio the following afternoon after the expected traffic (where Icarus ran afoul of those meddlesome highway shoulders), loading in and meeting with our first ever touring live engineer, Andrew Demer…Demecur…DeMysterio. Andrew Rey Mysterio? Andy reached out to us about doing FOH for us, and I’m so glad we went with him. He brings a great attitude to every show, and he genuinely loves what he does. At the time of this writing, every in-house engineer he’s met on this tour has really appreciated and benefited from his experience.

Just the same as Houston, San Antonio throws down hard. Something I’ve always enjoyed about playing in Stolas is how we make little changes in a piece to make it more impactful onstage, like adding a slow build in “Year of the Light” or punching up the dynamic shifts at the end of “Allokinetic.” It makes it all the more worthwhile when we play a crowd as intimate with our music as San Antonio and they can dig on every variation. It was the perfect place to release our album.

After a day off spent with mimosas, Irish Creme cinnamon rolls, and a margarita lunch, we started yet another long drive day toward Florida for a couple of shows. This particular drive is one with which we were well acquainted, the route sparsely populated with any big cities along that way to break up the drive. We’ve spent these drives stopping for any oddity fare along the way, shooting off fireworks on a beach, and crashing a cover band set (much to their enjoyment and surprise). I think that’s when being a low-budget touring band really shines for me: taking any otherwise daunting experience and making it unforgettably positive, where all of the dross and grit fall from memory.

Fortunately, we hit Orlando during a freak bout of decent weather that didn’t drown residents in boiling sweat. We got an oil change (always keep up with van maintenance, ya dingus), parked downtown, and spent the early part of the day in various parts of the city. There were swan rides in the lake. There were free coffees. There were bike rides round the city. And, of course, there was yet another killer Orlando show. Shout out to Callie for following my dog on Instagram.

Alex Budnick of Hindrance Supply Co. kindly opened his home to us for the next two nights while we played a show just outside Ft. Lauderdale at surprisingly well-attended sports bar. The following morning, most of us went to the beach while Rex, Nathan, and I hung back to get some work done (for example, this very tour diary). As fun as tour is, it’s oddly cathartic to have that odd day here and there where you brew some coffee, have vita bowl of oatmeal, and get cracking on something with a fast-approaching deadline. Then, you pack up your laptop, pile in the van, and haul ass to the next city amid inside jokes and quick gulps of Vitamin C.

Which, in this case, was Atlanta.

Findings:

Eloping is the perfect example of how the simplest option is rarely simple.

Tim plans to teach the entire tour package to juggle before Anaheim.

If a restaurant patron turns down a blood mary, you cannot offer to purchase it.

Restaurants are fucking wasteful, no-good spoil sports.

Nathan does a killer Coach McGurk impersonation. And Andre the Giant. And Zoidberg. And a didgeridoo.
