I cannot recommend Sean enough! His communication, planning, accommodating, and work is so amazing. He is so kind and truly made our elopement perfect. As a photo awkward person, he made it so effortless. I am so thankful we got to have our photos done by him and had him to help us plan our big day!

Sean is the best!! He did everything for us and as a bride you can’t ask for anything else! He chose AMAZING spots for us to elope and they were beautiful!
I cannot express how amazing this elopement was. Sean made everything we were dreaming of a reality and it could not have been a more perfect day. He was always available to answer every question I had and as a type A person who lived over 1,000 miles away from our elopement site I had plenty. And sometimes I even asked the same question twice 🤦🏽♀️ but Sean was always so incredibly helpful. For the most part I really just had to show up and enjoy my day. No headache and no unwanted fuss. This day is something I will never forget for so many reasons and I am so grateful to vows and peaks for capturing and helping me plan it all.
When we decided to elope and were searching for photographers, we immediately fell in love with Sean's style when we came across his website. After an initial conversation, we decided to book with him and are so glad we did! We are not local, but Sean made everything easy with a custom app that had recommendations for vendors, lodging and food. He asked about our vision, scouted locations and guided us to the perfect private spot for our ceremony, as well as a spectacular second photo spot in front of a waterfall! When we found out last minute that our originally planned court house was closed on the day, he quickly helped us pivot to another one close by. Throughout the entire process he was super responsive to any questions we had, and I am so grateful we had access to his experience and expertise for our wedding adventure! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized back-country elopement experience and absolutely magical photos to remember the day by!
Adrienne, this was so incredibly thoughtful and can't thank you both enough for trusting me to find an epic spot for your elopement! It was so fun sharing that and my favorite area of Colorado with you three. I am so happy that my work behind the scenes and camera gave you that wedding day experience you both deserve and the photos really encapsulate your love and your adventure so much! Thank you both again for the fun day!

Sean and his team were amazing! I was getting nervous about the changing weather and the schedule adjustments, but Sean clearly knew exactly what he was doing because everything turned out FLAWLESS!
The sneak peek photos are to die for—better than I could have imagined! I’m usually someone who hates how I look in photos, but between the incredible hair and makeup and Sean’s talent for capturing moments so naturally, I couldn’t believe how much I loved them.
Sean, Holden and Ally were all exceptional. Sean was professional did great planning, capturing the moment as well as hyping us up to keep our nerves at bay. Ally did hands down the best hair and makeup I’ve ever had making me feel beautiful in my big day, and Holden was professional, creative, and captured some really unique shots. After seeing the care he put into filming, I’m so excited to see the video!
If you’re considering eloping in Colorado, I can’t recommend Sean and his team enough. They helped make our day unforgettable, and I’m so happy we chose them!
Sean is THE MAN! He's extremely knowledgeable about the area, very personable, and answers all your questions right away.

I would recommend Sean to anyone and everyone. 10/10 experience we'll never forget.
Thanks Sean!!!

Wow, thank you Brendan and Megan! I love getting reviews before I even deliver your gallery. It means you guys had just as much fun as I did! And I seriously can't believe that sunset we saw above Telluride. PURE magic! It was so fun sharing my favorite place in Colorado with you guys. I know how much went into making this happen this year and I am so glad you did! You absolutely deserved every view, special moment and all the vibes you shared. Thank you again!
Stephanie BLocal Guide · 12 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Stephanie has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Sean from Vows & Peaks. From our very Facetime, we knew we had made the right decision. He immediately made us feel comfortable, excited and confident that we were in good hands.
Sean went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process and somehow made everything feel completely stress-free. He put together a list of location recommendations specifically for us and each location with all the information we could possibly need -- permit requirements, best time of day to go, hike difficulty, what to expect, and more. He even created a customized/personalized app for us that was filled with helpful info, timelines, recommendations and a packing list. He truly was our own personal elopement guide. By the time our wedding day arrived, all we really had to do was show up and enjoy it.
Then there were the photos. They are absolutely breathtaking. He somehow captured not only how beautiful the landscape was but also all of the little moments and emotions that made the day feel so special.
We spent roughly 6 hours hiking and exploring with him and not once did it feel awkward, uncomfortable or like we were spending the day with a stranger. Sean is incredibly down to earth, easy to talk to, funny and genuinely enjoyable to be around.
Our elopement was everything we could have hoped for and more, and a huge part of that was because of Sean. He didn't just take beautiful photos -- he helped create an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
We could not recommend Sean more!!
Stephanie, this is so incredibly sweet and thoughtful. I can't thank you enough for not only this review, but trusting me to be part of your day. How do we capture all of that magic and put it on repeat? I had such a blast with you guys and you're right, the experience is what matters most! Doesn't hurt that you guys helped me create those amazing photos! Can't take dope photos without dope couples! I hope these photos serve as the best time capsule for your elopement every year and reminds you that your love is special! Thank you both again!

Sean is the absolute best. Josh and I had never been to Colorado, but the day Vows and Peaks entered my Instagram feed, my heart was set. Sean had us fill out a short questionnaire, and created a day for us that was more than we could have ever imagined. The views, breathtaking, the execution, seamless. Everyone is amazed by our photos, we’ve even had friends say they wish they could redo their wedding to be like ours. If you’re thinking about hiring Sean, stop thinking and do it. He’s amazing at what he does. Most of all, Sean was as friendly and outgoing as you could hope for, making everything relaxed and comfortable. He broke the ice by mentioning Tim Biakabutuka to Josh, who is an avid wolverines fan, and from that point on we knew we were in good company lol. Thanks again, Sean!
Alaina, you are so incredibly sweet for taking the time to write this. I seriously had the best time with you both and while the photos are magical, you guys are the real legends! Can't take epic photos without epic couples and you guys made my job so easy. It was a blast exploring Breckenridge and hitting all of my favorite spots with you too. And of course, Biakabutuka was the icing on the cake to the cool experience. Thank you for the good vibes and for my making my job so fun and easy!!

Spencer and I are so happy with our elopement with Sean. The entire process was seamless, he was a real and genuine person the entire time, maintained positivity, and was true to every promise. Not to mention he is an insanely cool person to spend your wedding day with. He picked the perfect location for Spencer and I and maintained excitement through the entire 8 miles and 2,500+ ft gain. That's not easy to do!! Here are a couple of our sneak peeks. I am so excited to see our final photos. Thank you so much, Sean! If you love the outdoors and are an adventurous couple trying to find an elopement photographer, the choice is easy. Go with Vows and Peaks!

From our very first conversation, Sean made us feel like we were in great hands. He took the time to learn what we envisioned for our elopement and helped guide us through choosing the perfect location. His gallery of locations and communication helped us decide on Maroon Bells near Aspen as the most meaningful location for us. It turned out to be absolutely breathtaking and everything we had hoped for.
Throughout the planning process, Sean communicated exceptionally well, answered every question we had, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel exciting and manageable. On our wedding day, he was calm, patient, and encouraging. Walking over rocky terrain in a tuxedo and wedding gown wasn’t exactly easy, but he never rushed us and always made sure we felt comfortable and at ease. He reminded us that this was our day, and we got to decide what worked best for us.
The photographs are simply incredible. They didn’t just capture how our day looked—they captured how it felt. Every time we look at them, we’re taken right back to the joy, excitement, and adventure of our elopement.
If you’re looking for an elopement photographer who is talented, organized, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, I can’t recommend Sean highly enough. We are so grateful we trusted him with one of the most important days of our lives.

Robertino, thank you so much for the kind words. I had such a blast with both of you, and the moose! Maroon Bells really is one of the most iconic and signature places in Colorado and sharing it at sunrise for your elopement was such a treat. I am grateful for your love, energy, enthusiasm and love story you shared! Thank you both!

Thank you Elizabeth! As a small business owner yourself, I know you know how meaningful reviews are and can't thank you enough for the kind words. I had the best time with you guys and loved exploring all over Breckenridge for your elopement. I think my highlights were that first look and you taking that shot at the end! Hope you guys enjoyed the photos as much as me and thank you again!!
Anne Campbell Abram13 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Anne has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
The most valuable advice we received was "the best plan is no plan". And while preparation is essential, Sean's perspective gave us the opportunity to live in the moment and adapt to the ever changing mountain weather effortlessly.
From the very first phone call, Sean listened to our thoughts and questions, offering the support and direction needed to make our elopement truly memorable. He provided the space for us to be creative and flexible; not only is he one of the coolest dudes we've ever spent time with, he was incredibly patient with our semi- thought out plans and my own lack of confidence on skis.
The pictures reflect a day that was far beyond our expectations. Sean captured moments that represented our elopement perfectly-from breathtaking and fun to the completely unexpected. Thank you, Sean, for sharing your your incredible photography skills, your great attitude and our special day with us.
