Alton was our photographer when my husband and I eloped in August 2019 in Boulder, CO. Alton met us out on a trail where we had planned to say our vows and sign our marriage certif...
icate. It was perfectly private and Alton gave us all the space we wanted, taking beautiful photos from a distance and later close up after we had our moments together. He had some really fun ideas for us and was also really flexible and open to changing things up.
A few extra memorable moments included a spontaneous pizza shop excursion when Alton took candid photos of us ordering and eating our slices - some of my favorites from the whole day! And later he took extremely thoughtful and beautiful sunset photos of us with our dog.
The day was stunningly beautiful, serene, and filled with joy. I'm so grateful that Alton was there to capture every moment for us.

m. If you are wavering between Alton and someone else - pick Alton. You will be so thankful that you did!
Our engagement pictures are a dream. He was so involved in the process of getting the hotel to authorize us, so invested in making sure the shots met our vision and expectations and we are in awe of the shots he got for us. We have never seen engagement pictures like ours.
We are waiting on our wedding pics (it just happened a couple of days ago), but we already know they are going to be epic, because before the wedding was over he had set up a "preview" for our guests at the bar and they were GORGEOUS without even editing them.
Leading up to our wedding, Alton was communicative and present.

I found Alton on the Knot as I was SCRAMBLING trying to find the right person for our event. I will use Alton again for any future photos I will need. He not only did his “job” but I noticed he went beyond what was asked with his photography. Thank you, Alton!!
