The road is yours & love is the way
Capturing intimate elopements, proposals, and love stories in Colorado Springs and beyond
Welcome to El Camino St Photography—a refined, soulful experience for couples in Colorado Springs and beyond. With over 16 years of experience, I specialize in capturing intimate elopements, heartfelt proposals, and engagement stories in the wild beauty of Colorado and wherever your love takes you.
Not every love story needs a ballroom.
Some are best told under open skies, on mountain trails, or in quiet moments with just the two of you. If you're planning an elopement or intimate wedding in Colorado and looking for photography that captures the real, raw, beautiful you — you're in the right place.
Meet your photographer
Hello and welcome!
I'm Joy, the heart behind El Camino St. Photography.
Photography is more than just an art form to me—it's my way of preserving the beauty and emotion of life’s fleeting moments. As a mother and someone who embraces the fullness of life—its highs, lows, and everything in between—I cherish the power of photos to help us relive memories. There’s something magical about looking back at old pictures, feeling the love, laughter, and stories they hold. This passion is what drives me to create meaningful, lasting memories for others through my work
Why Choose El Camino st. Photography?
With over 16 years of professional photography experience, El Camino St. Photography was created as a sister brand to Touch of Joy Photography—born from a love of storytelling, spontaneity, and the wild beauty of elopements and intimate weddings. Based in the heart of Colorado Springs, I specialize in capturing the raw, real, and radiant moments of your journey—whether you're exchanging vows on a mountain trail or chasing golden hour through a meadow. While Touch of Joy focuses on cozy, joy-filled portraits and studio sessions, El Camino St is where adventure meets artistry. Every session is tailored to reflect your connection, your vibe, and your unique path—because your love story deserves to be told with heart and intention.iting images. Whether in-studio, outdoors, or at unique local venues, I tailor each session to capture your story in the most authentic and beautiful way.
