Joe Hendricks

Meet Joe Hendricks: a visionary adventure elopement and landscape photographer based in Telluride, Colorado. With over 15 years of experience capturing love stories and natural wonders, Joe’s journey began with film photography during his seven-year service in the U.S. Navy. 

After honing his skills photographing weddings in Nashville, Joe and his wife, Rhonda, embraced a nomadic lifestyle, traveling the United States full-time in an Airstream. This period deepened his appreciation for diverse landscapes and the unique stories each location holds. 

Now settled in Western Colorado, Joe and Rhonda operate Elope Telluride, specializing in crafting intimate, adventurous elopements amidst the region’s breathtaking scenery. Joe’s passion lies in hiking mountain trails with couples, capturing their love against awe-inspiring backdrops, and ensuring each photograph reflects the genuine connection between partners. 

Beyond elopements, Joe’s landscape photography showcases his artistic vision, offering viewers a glimpse into the world’s natural beauty through his lens. His work is available in creative and unique prints, allowing others to bring a piece of his adventure into their own spaces.
