I think Colorado is the perfect place to elope or have an intimate wedding. First of all mountain views. And as if you need another reason- you can self solemnize meaning you don’t need a pastor or officiant.
When Cherie contacted me about documenting this incredible moment in her and her fiance’s lives, I could tell this couple was special. This was about so much more than a pretty dress with a mountain background. This was about true love. “Devoted” is the word they chose to describe themselves, and it is a perfect fit.
The wedding day itself was a perfect blue sky Colorado day. The mountains were snow capped, and it was magically warm enough to enjoy being outside. The Air BNB the family was staying at was buzzing with excitement. You could tell the couple was so loved by their friends and family who had all traveled from Texas to be with them.
Their first look was full of emotion (as all first looks should be!) and their vows were handwritten, heartfelt, and beautiful. Filled with loving words and all about how the other completed their life so perfectly.
Afterwords, something Cherie’s mom said really stuck with me “there’s nothing like seeing your child happy”. And its so true. Cherie and Scotty were radiating joy. Here’s to happily ever after.
