Lauren & Joseph Blue Lakes + Family Elopement

Lauren and Joseph’s chose a hiking elopement at sunrise, marking the beginning of their Colorado elopement. At the summit, they both got ready for their first look, and Lauren even had her hair and makeup done on location because of the all-inclusive elopement package she booked. So bad ass! The scene was epic, with the San Juan Mountains standing majestically against a clear sky and the lake lying absolutely still. Their first look was pure magic in a wildflower field, setting the tone for the day’s adventures.

They set out to share their vows on the shore of the lake above Telluride as the reflections cast behind them. It was so incredibly clear without a spec of wind to cause any ripples. So beautiful and stunning as the rocks reflected clearly. We then explored the surrounding area for couples photos before popping some bubbles to celebrate and headed back into town to meet up with family for the family ceremony

The weather remained perfect as we arrived at the family portion of the day. Surrounded by stunning views, they exchanged vows with their closest friends and family. The ceremony had traditional aspects like walking down the aisle, along with family photos before heading off to their private dinner in a horse drawn sleigh drive. I have a deep passion for blending adventure with tradition into their day, creating unique experiences that allow couples to cherish their own moments while also keeping their families delighted. Lauren & Joseph flawlessly embraced these elements, hitting every special moment along the way, and it was truly enjoyable to capture their journey!
