Snowboarding Elopement

BySean Oblizalo April 6, 2025July 31, 2026 Adventure Elopement Galleries

It was a bluebird morning in Breckenridge, and Paige and Zach were cozied up in a cabin off Blue River, surrounded by pines dusted in fresh snow for their winter elopement — the kind of morning where sunlight bounces off everything and whiskey at 9am just makes sense.

Inside, the vibe was pure excitement. Paige zipped into her dress with a mimosa in hand, while her best friend fluffed the train. Meanwhile, Zach was multitasking like a champ: failing to tie his bow tie and sipping whiskey like a pro.

With the car loaded with snowboards, florals, and Uncrustables, they headed to Sapphire Point in Breckenridge, where the world felt frozen in the best way. Zach stood facing the Ten Mile Range for their Colorado elopement, breath visible in the crisp air. When he turned around for their first look — boom. That signature grin lit up the whole ridge.

Their ceremony was sweet and simple, with vows whispered under pines and a classic Zach fist bump for the officiant.

Then it was off to Keystone, where they swapped wedding boots for snow ones and carved down groomers, her dress flying behind her like a cape, his tux flapping in the wind. They ended the day at a local bar, toasting with drinks and signing their marriage license.

Best. Day. Ever.

Your Elopement Photographer, Location Scout & Full-Service Planner

Sean Oblizalo, Vows and Peaks elopement photographer

I don’t just photograph elopements. I plan them, scout the location myself, handle the permits, and connect you with local vendors so you don’t have to think about any of it.

I live in Colorado full time, not just for elopement season. This isn’t a weekend trip for me. I’ve spent years learning these mountains, and I use that to find you a spot nobody else would think to send you to.

My Story

I’m Sean. I moved to Colorado 14 years ago and spent the first few years just exploring every corner of the state I could find. Eight years ago I started doing elopements in Colorado and it clicked immediately.

Hundreds of couples later and I’m still going out before sunrise to find those hidden locations, fixing broken dress zippers mid elopement, and building days where couples tell me they completely forgot I was even there. That the whole thing felt natural and unscripted, like hanging out with an old friend who just happened to be capturing everything. I’ve had couples deal with weather that had no business being on their wedding day, and their friends and family still couldn’t stop raving about the photos. That’s what I’m after every single time!

This place is not a backdrop to me. It’s home. That’s the difference between hiring someone who flies in for your elopement and hiring someone who genuinely lives in the mountains you’re getting married in.

Sound like the perfect match? Check out my All Inclusive Elopement Packages and reach out if you’re ready to elope in Colorado.
