Silverton Wedding & Elopement Photographer
Weddings & Elopements IN Silverton
Colorado Elopement Photographer SERVING Silverton & the San Juans
Silverton is one of my favorite places in Colorado, and I'm so lucky to work here all throughout the summer! The beautiful mountain passes just outside of town, the adorable shops and restaurants down Greene St., and the most quintessential "Rocky Mountain" views you're dreaming of make Silverton a perfect place to elope in Colorado. Mountain vistas, beautiful aspens, off road adventures, mining history, bright blue alpine lakes, and wildflowers galore will become the most stunning backdrop that I live for as a Silverton elopement photographer!

TOP Silverton elopement locations
Alpine Lakes
With all the off-road (and on-road!) mountain views to explore, you'll also find a number of gulches and basins that have amazing alpine lakes for your elopement ceremony (and you can even paddleboard/canoe some of them!) Note that not all of these lakes are accessible without a high clearance 4WD vehicle.
Silverton-Durango Train
This historic narrow gauge train runs from Durango to Silverton, and you can elope with it! Whether you get married on the train ride, use it as transportation to a backcountry A-Frame cabin, or for the fun of it, this is a unique and epic way to spend your wedding day in Silverton!
Wildflower Meadows
The Silverton area comes alive with wildflowers like much of the Colorado mountains in the summer. Catch the meadows around July for the best colors, and be sure to practice Leave No Trace principles to keep these meadows healthy and protected for decades to come. No tromping or picking around here!
Kendall Mountain
Kendall Mountain Recreational area is a large log-built lodge that runs a small chairlift for winter, and a beautiful and large meadow for wedding celebrations and such in the summer. The views are amazing and the space you get is unmatched!
Eureka Lodge
This backcountry lodge is an elevated and beautiful Mountain Lodge vibe for your wedding. Give your guests a true Colorado experience that they'll remember forever at Eureka Lodge - named for the now-abandoned nearby mining town in a remote area near Silverton. History, beauty, privacy and more is what you'll find here!
The Wyman Hotel
One of Silverton's historic hotels downtown, The Wyman is a beautiful and ornate space with a ton of history oozing out of every brick and wood plank. This intimate space is perfect for a micro wedding or elopement with a few guests!
Mountain Passes
Any direction you drive out of Silverton you will find some of the most ruggedly beautiful "Rocky Mountain" views you've ever seen. While many of these mountain passes require 4WD and/or high clearance vehicles, not all of them are as inaccessible. You can get epic mountain views with as much accessibility as we need.
Campgrounds
The Silverton area hosts a number of wonderful campgrounds that are just as scenic as they are cozy. Enjoy a micro wedding or elopement while camping in one of the prettiest places in the state!
Ghost Towns
With all the history of the Silverton area, from Wild West vibes to the historic mining towns that built this valley, it's no surprise that you can find a fair few ghost towns to explore on your elopement day.
I specialize in drinking chai tea lattes, and watching Gilmore Girls reruns! I also specialize in capturing the story & scenery of your celebration.
As a full service wedding photographer in Grand Junction, my mission is to preserve your favorite moments in beautiful images for you to relive those best moments of life that fly by too fast.
A Little About Me...
I believe there’s no better sight than the night sky at 10,000 feet.
I also believe you should be able to be authentically you on your wedding day. Whether that’s an off-beat elopement or more traditional wedding celebration, I strive to capture each genuine moment.
I strive to capture the day as it unfolds, all those candid moment to perfectly preserve what it felt like to be there. Too many photographers use their couples' wedding days as a portfolio building time, but you won't find that around here. I'm there for you - not for me!

-Allison & Ethan
Amanda is the perfect wedding photographer. She’s efficient, she gets absolutely all the shots you want and those you didn’t even know you want, and she just blended into our event perfectly. The photos perfectly captured the whole day and I feel like I can easily relive it just by looking back at the photos. I highly recommend Amanda.
"The Perfect Wedding Photographer"
-Megan & Jordan
Amanda was the best decision we made for our wedding day! The photos are exceptional and perfectly capture the scenery and vibe we were going for, but that’s only a portion of what Amanda provided. She helped give us planning guidance, organization, and reassurance throughout, which alleviated all the worries we had about eloping in a place we’d never been before.
"Alleviated all the worries"
-Beth & Dustin
We used Amanda for our wedding and she is the BEST! Our photos turned out amazing and she captured the feel of our night perfectly. She’s also really fun to hang with. We didn’t want her to leave at the end of the night!
"She captured the feel of our night perfectly."
- Kylie & Murat
Amanda did an amazing job on our elopement photos! She was incredibly organized during all the planning and sent incredibly helpful tips and ideas in the months leading up. Plus all her recommendations for other local vendors were fantastic.
