Sydney McRae Photo

About

Living in Telluride gives Sydney McRae direct knowledge of the San Juan Mountains that out-of-area photographers have to research from scratch. Her work centers on adventurous, intimate ceremonies in remote settings, and she handles a large share of the logistics herself: scouting and curating secluded ceremony locations, managing permit applications and ranger coordination, building custom vendor lists matched to each couple and venue, and preparing personalized packing lists keyed to the forecast. Couples also receive custom planning guides that cover accommodations, dining, marriage license requirements, and even honeymoon planning. Beyond the Telluride area she photographs elopements in Breckenridge and Buena Vista, and travels for destination work in Oregon and Iceland. She works alongside her partner Andrew. Pricing is not published on the site, and inquiries go through her contact form. For couples set on the San Juans specifically, a photographer based in the box canyon itself is a practical advantage for weather calls and last-minute location changes.
