Intimate Lost Gulch Overlook Elopement in Boulder, Colorado
July 30, 2024
Paola and Jessica’s Lost Gulch Overlook elopement in Boulder, Colorado, is high on my favorites list. These two were the sweetest ever, and it was truly such an honor to have been their Boulder elopement photographer! Not only were they both obviously head over heels for each other, but when you pair that with an intimate elopement at one of Colorado’s most beautiful overlooks, it’s bound to be a good one! From checking out Boulder Falls, the Lost Gulch Overlook ceremony and portraits, to dinner at a local Boulder restaurant, keep scrolling because I can’t wait to share more with you about their special day!

Starting at Boulder Fall’s -The Perfect Colorado Waterfall Elopement Location!
Before we made our way up for their Lost Gulch Overlook elopement ceremony, we started off at Boulder Falls. If you’re looking to add another romantic location to your Boulder, Colorado elopement, then this is such a dreamy spot! Hearing the sound of the rushing water is so romantic and it can be incredibly intimate. It also makes for an epic backdrop for your portraits! Who doesn’t love Waterfalls?!
Paola & Jessica’s Lost Gulch Overlook Elopement Ceremony in Boulder, Colorado
After checking out Boulder Falls, we then drove over to Lost Gulch Overlook. Something I love about Lost Gulch Overlook is that it’s relatively easy to access views like this. Because of this, it makes Lost Gulch Overlook a pretty popular location for tourists and locals who want to take in the views. I definitely recommend coming on a weekday at sunrise, but sunset is still doable! Weekends tend to get busier especially with other photographers and tourists, but this is still my first pick for Boulder Elopement locations!
Paola and Jessica shared the sweetest and most heartfelt vows with one another leaving Jessica in tears. I was holding back tears myself. The sun shining down on them was perfect and felt like something out of a fairytale. If you’re looking for a gorgeous place for an intimate elopement where you can exchange vows with views like this, then Colorado is definitely the state you want to consider!
Popping Champagne in Celebration & Busting Out The Lanterns
After their intimate Lost Gulch Overlook elopement ceremony, Paola and Jessica celebrated with a champagne popping! I love when I am able to bring some extra props for my Deluxe & Adventure Elopement couples for them to enjoy themselves together after their ceremony. Whether it’s champagne, a picnic, etc., it always adds so much to your photos! I highly recommend considering and thinking about props when planning out your Elopement. I am happy to help come up with ideas too!
After that, we also busted out the lanterns for some romantic portraits during sunset. I love how we were able to get such a variety to showcase their epic Boulder elopement in such a meaningful way. Paola told me that her favorite part about their Elopement was that it was just the two of them in the Mountains. It’s definitely why I love intimate elopements like this one, because it’s just an adventure of you two away from everyday life! 🙂
After the lanterns, we made our way back to the cars where they signed their marriage certificate, and then we got some blue hour photos with the jeep!
Ending The Day With a Romantic Dinner at River and Woods
After their Lost Gulch Overlook elopement ceremony and portraits, we ended the day with a delicious dinner at River and Woods. I only stayed for a short while capturing a little bit of the tail end of their Elopement without overstaying their romantic dinner. The two of them ordered way too much and insisted that I eat some too! I tried to resist but the food there is AMAZING! Yes, I used my own name because WOW! Something cute they told me was that they talked about getting Taco Bell later that night and how it’s a thing they do a lot together. They love to just randomly go out in the middle of the night for Taco Bell runs. This foodie girl over here understands and I see why I was the perfect fit to be their Elopement Photographer! Well.. and the great photos too! 🙂
5 Star Review from Paola & Jessica
“Amazing did a great job with our photos!! She planned everything for us and even brought props. She really has an eye for great photos as we absolutely loved the ones she took of us! We had to change locations a few days prior due to weather and she knew exactly what places to go to. We had zero hiccups and an amazing time. I highly recommend her services.” -Paola

I'm Amazing!
I have always loved love - I’m a hopeless romantic and guaranteed to cry at least once at every wedding. Getting to watch people find their soulmate brings me the most joy and is hands down the best part of my job. My goal for every session is to create a fun atmosphere with a romantic, creative, and authentic vibe not only for your photos, but for the experience itself.
I live for the emotional, candid moments – the closeness of a first dance, a child dancing with their parents, the first time you see your person walking down the aisle, all of it! I understand how important this day is and the immense trust you place in your photographer which is why I am dedicated to not only capturing every magical moment, but ensuring that your wedding day is as beautiful, stress-free, and joy-filled as possible.
Testimonials
"Amazing is just that, amazing! It was overwhelming to find the right photographer for our engagement session and wedding, but I’m so glad we found her! At the time, my husband and I were living overseas but Amazing kept constant communication with us even with the 8 hour time difference. When we finally got to meet her in person she was so sweet and made both us feel comfortable right away. When we got back our photos from the engagement session, we knew we made the right choice! On the day of the wedding, Amazing and her team were on time, professional, and we’re able to get the shots they needed even with our large bridal party. Our photos are absolutely perfect and we couldn’t be happier. I will always recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a photographer and I hope we can use her again for more photos in the future! Thank you Amazing."

"Amazing took our engagement photos and then our wedding photos about a year later. We couldn't be more thrilled with the results! Her work is truly an art form and it's so clear to see how much she loves her career. I chose Amazing over other photographers based on her vibes alone! Her personality is everything you could want in a wedding photographer. She's professional, but without being stuffy. She knows how to have fun, she's friendly, and easy to socialize with. She's trustworthy and reliable as she was always on time. She captured all the joy and beauty of our wedding day and we will cherish our pictures forever!"

Testimonials
"There are not enough stars I could give, or positive words I could say. Amazing was an exceptional photographer for our wedding. She helped make the day as stress free as possible. She worked seamlessly with our coordinator to capture all the best moments. The weather was uncooperative for the entire day, but that didn’t slow her down, she rolled with it. She was out in the rain with my husband and I doing our first look, and then capturing some of the most beautiful before pics. She somehow managed to be both easy going and direct. She had great communication leading up to and during the wedding day. Honestly, if she lived near me I would have Amazing take all of my professional photos! Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect!"
-Samantha
