About

If you want breathtaking pictures to remember your elopement with, then I am your photographer!

Hi, my name is Joe Hendricks and I have been photographing weddings & elopements for over 15 years. I love creating unique images that you will remember for the rest of your lives and pictures that all your friends will be envious of. Not that you want that, but it's fun to know that your elopement photographs turned out better than everyone else you know.

I enjoy hiking up in the mountains capturing two people in love, alone, and in nature! It makes my heart come alive to be there in the presence of such an important and intimate moment.

Together with my wife, we help you plan your elopement from start to finish. Whatever you want, we make happen. I am also local to Telluride and Ouray, so we know all the great spots to say "I do"!

The Perfect Day!

We can’t say enough great things about Joe & Rhonda of Elope Telluride. Planning a Colorado elopement from clear across the country (MD) should’ve come with plenty of challenges, but it was truly the most enjoyable and stress-free process thanks to them! From the initial consultation, to the follow-up video calls, to the actual day-of ceremony, Elope Telluride was nothing short of wonderful in ensuring all went perfectly. Joe had such beautiful spots to take us to the day we eloped, and was happy to indulge us when we had some unique photo requests. If we could go back, I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. ET gave us the perfect day, and we’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a gorgeous, memorable, and stress-free elopement in Colorado!

We cannot say enough how happy with are with our wedding photos. We were married in January at the Red House in Franklin, Tennessee and were on a budget. We decided to splurge on our photos and Joe was worth every penny and more. Joe and his wife Rhonda were very easy to work with, and Joe was like a ninja at our wedding. Our guests were blown away with the quality of the photos. We have so many amazing photos, we're still having a hard time deciding which photos to print and display in our home. Joe's wife handles all of the contracting and administrative stuff, and she's amazing. Very cheery, responsive and just easy to work with. On site, Joe required little direction - we told him a few things that were important to us, and he captured the moments. Joe also provided a beautiful wedding album no more than two weeks after we were married. We really are just so happy with the photos - they are stunning and will be treasured for years to come.

Words cannot describe how wonderful this photography team was. Between the engagement photos, the wedding portraits, the wedding pictures, and all the stuff in-between AND AFTER, Joe was incredible. His wife Rhonda works closely with him on most shoots, and she is terrific!
The wedding pictures were stunning, and we had most of them within a few days of the wedding. (Some he even displayed on a laptop next to the dance floor at the wedding!). And the wedding (photo) album he created...indescribable!!

Joe has been rated the best photographer in Nashville and it is true! He is very creative, kind, funny, and flexible. He gave us photos that I know we will cherish forever and there will NEVER be the regret or thought that we should have gone with another photographer. He took the most amazing photos of our wedding day and nobody ever even noticed him because he is so quick and non-intrusive.

Joe is one of the most talented photographers we have ever seen, and we are so lucky he was available to shoot our wedding. We connected with him right away during our engagement session, and knew instantly that he was the right choice for our wedding. We had 100% trust in him to get the perfect shots, and it was nice having one wedding detail that we didn't have to worry about :) We will definitely call Joe next time we need photography services!

I cannot brag enough on Joe and how amazing he is as a photographer and person. Joe stepped up when our original photographer unexpectedly passed away. He jumped in and honored our contract and even credited us the $1000 we paid to the previous photographer. He was a dream to work with on our engagement pictures and at our wedding! His wife Rhonda is also amazing! She sets up the appointments and everything. I will refer all my friends and family to Joe in the future!

Yesterday was our wedding and reception, and before even getting our photos back (which always come super quick) I can already tell you how happy we are with Joe and Rhonda! They are the kind of people you just want to be friends with, let alone work with. Joe is always amazingly professional and fun at the same time. He made all our guests feel wonderful, got all the shots we wanted, and was always there when we needed him. His way of shooting is really quick and efficient, so you don't think he got the shot until he shows you a little preview, and it is always spot on.

I couldn't recommend Joe and Rhonda any more. Trust me, book them, it is worth it.

Joe did such an amazing job with our photos! We had such a fun time throughout the whole process - from engagement photos to the actual wedding. We always got responses really quickly from either Joe or Rhonda and they went above and beyond what I expected.

Joe was such fun the day of our wedding - sometimes photos are a bore and he made it fun for everyone. We didn't opt for a lot of traditional shots and did more fun "in the moment" photos, which he captured so well!

I have received so many comments from people on the photography and how fun our wedding looked - and that's all to Joe capturing those moments that we will want to revisit and look at for years to come.

Joe turned around our photos very quickly and came over to our house to do a little "premiere" of the wedding photos. He gives you personal attention and you walk away from the experience knowing your special day was captured wonderfully!

I could not be more in love with the photos Joe took of our wedding. Not only were his photos more than I could have hoped for, he and Rhonda were so fun and easy to work with. The turnaround on the photos is so quick as well. You can tell he loves what he does, that love comes through in his work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
