Are you dreaming of a chill, low-key wedding that’s all about adventure? Well, Colorado might just be the perfect place for your adventurous elopement! Just recently, I had the absolute privilege of capturing Joana & Miles’s incredible elopement in this stunning state. Let me share their story and some tips on how to elope in Colorado!

First, let’s talk about locations. Colorado is a state brimming with natural beauty, making it a go-to for adventurous couples like Joana & Miles. They chose three spots for their big day: Clinton Gulch, Officers Gulch, both in Summit County, and finished it off at Outer Range Brewery in Breckenridge. These locations offered a mix of amazing mountain views and serene, private spots, and killer beer – making each moment feel intimate and special.

Adventurous Elopement in Colorado

Now, you may be asking, “How the heck do I elope in Colorado?” It’s simpler than you might think! First, pick your perfect spot, just like Joana & Miles did. Colorado has a variety of landscapes to choose from, so whether you want to say your vows by an alpine lake, on top of a mountain, or in a cozy cabin, there’s a place for you! Next, apply for a marriage license. In Colorado, this process is pretty straightforward and doesn’t require witnesses or an officiant. Colorado is one of the nine states where this is possible! You two can be alone with your love and the great outdoors and what’s even better is that you can even have your pup sign your marriage license. Heck yeah!!

Once you’ve got the legalities sorted, it’s time to plan your day! Remember, this is your day. You can make it as simple or as elaborate as you want. Pack a picnic, plan a hike, or even incorporate some of your favorite activities. Joana & Miles kept it low-key and focused on their shared love of adventure. If you need some help planning your day, this is where an experienced Colorado Elopement Photographer (like me!!) comes in handy. And now, let’s talk about capturing the day. Having a photographer (also me!!), that you trust can make all the difference. For Joana & Miles, I was there every step of the way, making sure their day was documented exactly how they wanted it!
