Colorado Sledding Elopement
One of the best things about an adventure elopement is there are no rules – you and your partner can fill your day with whatever feels most authentic to you! The list of activities you could include in your day is truly endless.
This stunning winter elopement in Colorado took a more unconventional route. The couple chose sledding – in their wedding attire! – as an activity for their incredibly fun and carefree elopement day.
Your Elopement Can Look Like Whatever You Want
Without the pressure and expectations of guests and traditions, what your elopement day looks like is entirely up to you and your partner. I love planning and photographing elopements that feel true to you and incorporating activities that let you have fun together!
I think the best photos from any elopement day are the ones that capture your relationship authentically, and the easiest way to create those moments is to do something you love – even if that thing is trying something new together!
This elopement prioritized adventure, fun, and even a little bit of silliness, allowing the couple’s personalities and unique love story to shine through in every picture.
When you hire me to plan and capture your elopement, I’ll help you create an itinerary that removes stress and expectations so all you have to focus on is each other.
And don’t worry – I promise we’ll find some epic views along the way!
Breaking All the Rules
A complaint I often hear from couples who have big, traditional weddings is that they didn’t get to spend enough time with their partner on their wedding day. From getting ready separately to sharing attention with all your friends and family, it’s easy to forget to take a few moments for just yourselves.
If you opt for an elopement like this one, however, you can truly spend sunrise to sunset basking in your wedding day with your partner. This couple “broke the rules” by helping each other get ready, allowing them to start the day with some sweet and private moments.
This sledding elopement also incorporated some gorgeous florals for the both bride and groom and their ceremony location.
If you’ve always dreamed of over-the-top flowers on your wedding day and worry you’ll miss out if you choose to elope, think again! You can have the florals of your dreams even on a frozen alpine lake.
Private, Emotional Vows
Another huge plus of eloping in Colorado is a completely private ceremony where you can share your truest feelings – in a stunning location, of course!
The moment you recite your vows and commit to your partner shouldn’t be clouded by any anxiety or hesitation because of who might be listening. You should feel totally free to take your time and pour your heart out!
I love capturing these raw, emotional moments between couples, and I’m happy to put in headphones to give you total privacy to be yourselves. After sharing vows, I always encourage couples to spend some time taking in the beautiful place they just got married.
Making Time for Fun
Without a strict schedule or “boxes to check” on your wedding day, you’re free to spend as much time as you want just goofing off together!
This couple had lots of fun exploring the winter wonderland setting of their Colorado elopement before embarking on their next adventure.
