Emerald Lake Elopement in Crested Butte
Elizabeth and Anthony’s Colorado elopement started with a rainy July morning in Crested Butte and a full-send adventure out of town. We off-roaded over a mountain pass between Crested Butte and Aspen, where they shared a first look surrounded by the mountains before heading to Emerald Lake.
At Emerald Lake, they exchanged private vows during a self-solemnizing ceremony and shared a unity ceremony before celebrating with cake overlooking the water. Pretty damn good way to get married if you ask me!
After heading back toward town, we explored the wildflower-filled meadows for more photos. Elizabeth and Anthony are both classic camera collectors, so naturally, we spent part of the day taking photos of each other taking photos of the ridiculously beautiful scenery. A rainy mountain adventure, private vows, vintage cameras, and Crested Butte wildflowers. Doesn’t get much more their style than that!
