Let's chat

camping at rocky mountain national park? 4-wheeling in ouray? fishing at twin lakes?

Well guess what...my bags are already packed!!!


Eloping is both freeing and maybe a little daunting? Where to go? How long does it take? How do we get our marriage license and permits in time? What should we bring? (Fur babies are always a yes) What all can we do? 

When you book an elopement package with me, I help you answer ALL of those questions! From planning to permits to amazing locations I've got years of knowledge of how to elope in Colorado (and would love to help you plan spots outside of the state, too!)

a bit about me so we can already be besties!

I love Camping + Exploring Colorado

My Zodiac sign - Cancer w/ Scorpio Characteristics 

I have been with my girlfriend for almost 8.5 years

If I am not working, I love camping all around Colorado. I enjoy the typical tent camping but I also car camping. Nothing beats the fresh mountain air and hanging in my hammock. If you elope in the mountains somewhere, you can almost bet, I will be camping there before your big day! :) 

So, what does this mean? The cancer side of me describes my emotions and feelings, while the Scorpio describes my passion. This is just one reason I am drawn to being a photographer capturing LOVE stories. I love, LOVE and I connect well with people.I am driven and understand my client's needs and wants. 

Yes! CRAZY. I have been with my girlfriend Alex for almost 8.5 years. We met in highschool, and it was seriously love at first sight. She is my WHY. I push hard everyday to accomplish my goals, so we can make our dreams into reality. We love spending time together in the outdoors, camping, fishing, and just loving life. Shes the best supportive partner I could ever ask for.

"I am forever thankful that we found Sophia to capture our elopement. My now husband & I are so shy and it takes a lot for us to be brought out of our shell. Sophia did that within seconds of our shoot. She arrived early, prepared, and immediately made us feel comfortable in her presence. She gave us the best compliments, snacks & vibes! I have never felt more beautiful & comfortable in front of a camera.  We got our gallery back weeks before the deadline & it’s everything we wanted & more. The gallery captures our love & personalities more than I could have expected. I cry tears of joy every time I scroll through them. Sophia, we cannot thank you enough for making us feel comfortable & giving us the best elopement pictures we could have imagined. You are truly amazing at what you do. We will cherish your friendship & these photos forever. ""

"Wedding planning is stressful and finding the right photographer is CRUCIAL. I was lucky enough to find Sophia, she was communicative and punctual with her responses. She was transparent and easy to work with leading up to our big day. I immediately felt at ease talking to her, which helped lessen my nerves prior to our wedding photos. During our elopement, she made my fiance and I feel comfortable and confident. While she exuded fun, she was also professional and displayed her knowledge of photography throughout the entire shoot. She came ready with creative ideas and awesome timing!! She hyped us up and made the entire day so exciting. I highly recommend Sophia Woodward Photography!!

Activity Suggestions

I help you find the perfect location for your elopement—whether you want a mountaintop view, a serene lake, or a secluded forest. Based on your preferences, I’ll suggest locations that fit your vision and make sure they’re accessible and beautiful for photos.

If you're eloping in a national park or other protected area, you may need a permit. I’ll guide you through the entire permit application process, ensuring everything is handled on time and according to the location’s rules.

Elopements are often more laid-back than traditional weddings, but there’s still a lot to plan. I’m here to help you organize the day, from finding vendors to coordinating the timing, so you can focus on enjoying your special day without stress.

I’ll create a timeline that fits your style, from the ceremony to photos and any fun activities. Whether you’re doing a sunrise hike or a sunset ceremony, I’ll make sure we capture everything you want while keeping things relaxed.

Eloping isn’t just about the ceremony—it’s about the experience! I can suggest fun activities to include in your day, like hiking, kayaking, or having a picnic in a beautiful spot. I’ll help you plan activities that fit your adventure and make the day even more special.
