Snowy St Marys Glacier + Family Elopement

The day began at 6:30 AM for a hike at St Marys Glacier in Colorado under clear skies with a refreshing breeze. Reaching the glacier, Rebecca and Jeffery dressed separately for their first look—Jeffery in a turkey feather bow tie and mountain peak socks, and Rebecca in an elegant wedding dress. The wind highlighted her dress’s details during their unforgettable first look.

They then hiked to the glacier lake shoreline to exchange handwritten vows, with the snowy glacier and partially frozen lake as a perfect backdrop. After sharing this beautiful moment, they enjoyed mimosas on a log before hiking down to Breckenridge for more photos.

Following three epic photo stops and many congratulatory comments, they arrived at Sapphire Point for a family ceremony. Traditional elements included the bride’s dad walking her down the aisle, Jeffery’s daughter as the flower girl, and Jeffery’s best friend as the officiant. A family of chipmunks added unexpected humor to the ceremony. Post-ceremony, the couple took photos with family and posed for newlywed pictures atop rocks with snow-capped mountains and a reservoir as their backdrop.
