Eloping in the winter in Colorado is an adventure like no other. From snow-covered peaks to unexpected bluebird days, it’s a season full of surprises. This February, I had the absolute joy of capturing a couple’s winter wedding day as they embraced the beauty of the season—riding the BreckConnect Gondola, sipping hot cocoa at the base of Breckenridge Ski Resort, watching skiers carve down the slopes, and sharing whipped cream with their pup. Then, we headed up to Sapphire Point for breathtaking views before braving a full-on blizzard over Loveland Pass. If there’s one thing winter elopements in Colorado teach you, it’s to be flexible and ready for anything!
