Thewanderingb Photography Aloha ! I am TheWanderingB, aka Béa. I am a destination photographer currently located on the Big Is My name is Bea, I am here as you guide & friend. together.

Moments come and go so fast, but that doesn't mean that your memories will fade. Whatever your story is, it should be told in your own unique way. Let's cherish the little moments and big feelings above all else, and have a freaking amazing time doing so. So let's add all the stamps to your passport and celebrate your commitment to each other with an adventure, a one of a kind experience which wil

l be as unforgettable as the love between the two of you. An adventurous elopement is not just a 7 hour hike to a mountain top. It can be you exchanging your vows just the two of you, or surrounded by your closest friends and family, in the middle of a morrocan desert or us in a Jeep driving on a 4x4 road to the first secluded beach where he first proposed. Basically, what I am trying to say is that your perfect elopement is 100% customizable. The only requirement is that it's unique to YOU! Whatever you want to do! Whatever and wherever feels like YOU.​
What is an Elopement? I'm not a vendor and you're not my client. We're friends. It might be cheesy and weird, but I get really invested in my couples because I really do care so so much and want to be more than just a photographer to you. LETS CAPTURE YOUR ADVENTURE FEARLESSLY AND BEAUTIFULLY

The vow books were terracotta. The ribbon on the bouquet was cream. The rings sat in a box no bigger than a palm.

None of it was chosen to impress anyone. There was no one there to impress. Just the two of you, and the small things you picked because they felt like you.

This is what I love to photograph before anyone says a word. The objects you'll hold in shaking hands. The paper you wrote your vows on at your kitchen table. The details that quietly carry the whole weight of the day.

The mountains will do their part. The rest of it, the terracotta and the cream and the ring box, that's already yours 💛

She turned away from the mountains for a second, and that was the moment it all caught up with her. The tears came quiet, in profile, no one asking her to hold it together.

That is the part of a day like this I get to witness. Not the posing. The feeling.

Ivan + Olena said it better than I could: "Beatrice was more than just a photographer. She became a great friend who made our special day feel above and beyond anything we had expected. The photos she captured are magnificent."

Being trusted to stand in that space with a couple is the whole reason I do this. COLORADO

Three dogs in bandanas, a dried bouquet resting on a knee, a mountain lake behind them. Nothing was staged out of the picture.

Somewhere along the way, couples got told to keep the day "clean." No pets, no mess, nothing that doesn't match the aesthetic. I've never understood that. Your dog knows you better than most of your guest list. The chaos is part of the love. So bring everyone. Bring the whole life with you. The story feels a lot more like you when you stop editing pieces of it out. 🐾

She had her eyes closed, head tilted up, laughing at something only he heard. That's the one.

No guests waiting for a pose. No timeline to hit. Just her leaning back into him, shoulders finally dropped, the kind of laugh that shows up when the only people watching are the two of you.

This is what it looks like when a couple chooses each other over the whole production. The forest holds the quiet. They fill it with real joy 💛

The hands settle before the words do. Two people, nervous, and their fingers find each other before either one has figured out what to say. That's the moment I'm watching for while everyone else is waiting for the vows. The rings, the dried bouquet, the way a thumb moves across a knuckle without anyone deciding to do it. Language catches up eventually. The hands always know first.

Two people, a mountain backdrop, ten guests max. Is that an elopement or a small wedding?

This is probably the question I get asked most, and the answer almost never comes down to guest count.

Here's the thing about Colorado that a lot of couples don't realize until they're already deep into planning: we have self-solemnization. No officiant required. No witnesses required. Just the two of you, a marriage license, and a signature. That's it. Legally married.

So the real difference isn't ten people versus zero. It's how much of your day you want to design around other people.

Elopement tends to fit couples who want zero logistics overhead and total location freedom. No seating chart. No DJ cue sheet. No catering timeline trying to hit a sunset window. The whole day belongs to the two of you, and you can move with it.

Intimate wedding tends to fit couples who want a handful of their favorite humans there, and still want a little structure to hold the day. A short ceremony. A shared meal. A first dance with people who've known you both forever.

Both are good. Both are real. Neither one is the "lesser" version of a wedding.

The question worth sitting with isn't "how many people should come." It's "whose day is this, and who is it for." 🤍

She's wearing white sneakers. He's wearing the kind of grin you can't fake. And somewhere between their vows and the walk back to the car, he just… picked her up. No prompt from me. No "okay, now do something romantic." He felt like it, so he did it.

That's the part nobody tells you about eloping. When you take away the script, the seating chart, the DJ cueing your first dance, what's left is just you two doing whatever your bodies want to do. Laughing at nothing. Standing in the quiet. Getting swept up, literally, in the middle of the red rocks because the moment asked for it.

The Colorado landscape gets a lot of credit (and yeah, it earns it). But the real magic of an elopement isn't the view. It's the permission slip. Permission to be weird, soft, silly, overwhelmed, completely yourselves, with nobody watching but the rocks and me 🤍

If a wedding day where nobody hands you a timeline sounds like the right kind of freedom, that's exactly the kind of day I love photographing.

Most couples don't plan the forehead touch. It just happens. Usually right after the words, when nobody knows what to do with their hands and the only thing that makes sense is to lean in.

That's the frame I'm always watching for. Not the kiss, not the cheer. The quiet ten seconds in between, when everything else falls away and it's just the two of you breathing in the same air.

Christina put it better than I could:

"I have never felt more confident in front of a camera than I did with Bea. She puts you at ease and makes you laugh the entire time. The photos were absolutely stunning."

That word, confident, is the one I think about most. Because the goal was never to make Christina + Kris look like a magazine spread. It was to make them feel like themselves, on a day that already asked a lot of them.

The photos that move people aren't the posed ones. They're the ones where you can tell the couple forgot to perform 🤍

Nobody told her to laugh like that.

That's just what happens when you stop trying to look perfect. Usually about ten minutes in, once the "okay but where do I put my hands" panic wears off and you remember the person standing next to you is just the person you love.

This is what I'm actually chasing. Not the composed portrait. The moment right after, when his hand goes to her chin and something real breaks through.

A mountain lake. An evergreen forest. Two people completely in it 🤍

If the idea of being photographed makes you a little nervous, good. That means you care. We'll get there together, somewhere quiet in the Colorado mountains, and I promise the laugh will come.

Rocky Mountain National Park requires an elopement permit secured months in advance, while permit-free spots like Garden of the Gods let you show up with same-week flexibility. That one detail changes your entire planning timeline.

National parks like Rocky Mountain or Maroon Bells offer those iconic, jaw-dropping alpine backdrops. They are perfect if you want that unmistakable Colorado mountain scene and do not mind securing your spot early in the planning process.

But if you prefer spontaneity or have a shorter planning window, permit-free public lands give you dramatic red rock formations and sweeping views with zero paperwork. You can decide to get married on a Tuesday and simply make it happen.

Eloping is all about trading the heavy logistics of traditional weddings, like seating charts and timeline scripts, for the quiet freedom of the outdoors. Understanding the local permit rules early is what keeps that freedom feeling light and stress-free.

Both options are breathtakingly beautiful. As your photographer and guide, I help you navigate these exact logistics so you can focus on how it actually feels to stand in these spaces together 🤎
