Breckenridge Colorado Elopement

I am in love. And so are they. I can’t get over Alison and Anje’s Breckenridge Colorado elopement photos.

I knew we would be fast friends when we met these two and taking their Colorado engagement photos at an alpine lake sealed the deal. Seeing how gracefully they handled a COVID wedding blew me away.

That’s how strong love is. Sometimes it blows you away when you feel stuck, it gives you hope when you feel lost, it’s something to celebrate amidst grief. The first photo I shared was one of a clearing storm with the following sentiment:

Sometimes when we’re in a storm all we can see is the rain. We forget about what happens after the storm. We forget that the fog lifts, the sun comes out, and we’re given a fresh perspective for the beauty that surrounds us.

Lately, it’s been hard to see couples struggle deciding what to do about their wedding, I don’t have any answers for them. Alison and Anje remained optimistic about their vision of sharing vows on a mountain. They even picked the perfect spot until rain stole the views away.

To be honest, I didn’t even notice it was raining until after the ceremony ended. I wouldn’t have known had it not been for little droplets on suit jackets and frozen fingers trying to unfold vows or put on rings. Everyone was present, in the moment, and focused on the commitment of love.

Furthermore, one of the things I love about elopements is that the moments are real. Everything from touching up lipstick looking at a rain drenched car window, to walking barefoot across an alpine meadow, to a moose encounter. It was was all pure “in the moment” perfection.

I had flashbacks of getting ready for a high school dance, giddy joyful comfort. And then, when Alison’s besties facetimed to see her in her dress I lost it. They were there with us, not in the room but supporting Alison in spirit.

Lastly, I’ve been saying it for a decade but love is a freaking adventure.

Not just a perfect instagram photo type of adventure but a “4WD adventure up a mountain where you feel your tires leave the ground just for a second and then find yourself in a meadow straight out of a storybook” kind of adventure.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your wedding day, I know it was your day and all… but it was just what we needed!
