Romantic Rocky Mountain Elopement
Romantic Elopement near Rocky Mountain National Park
These high school sweethearts (and their pup, Penny) adventured with me near Rocky Mountain National Park for their private elopement ceremony. Sav and Casey wanted their raw, emotional, and tearful moments to be something they could look back on in the future. They knew that these moments, the ones where they express their lifelong devotion to each other could not be something that they could document on their own. Enter me. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared what I have been creating over here at Wild Prairie Photography and this elopement really ticked all my “dream session” boxes so I figured what better way to break back into the habit than with this.
The light, the wardrobe, the hair, the smiles, and the insanely bright love that came through during our time together was nothing short of magical. Sav had been doing some searching for the perfect elopement location for her and Casey. During the planning process, Sav and I talked about quite a few options and landed on this spot. I had never been to this particular location before so I was eager to check out a new spot and look at all the pretty mountainy things along the way.
The adventure was worth the 3-hour drive, friends. Breathtaking scenery along the way that included creeks, mountains, basins, cliffs, plains, pretty much allll the things. Sometimes, it’s not all about the destination, ya know? Then sometimes, you have a killer journey AND the destination is insane. Which just so happens to be this spot. I am lucky. Lucky that Sav wanted something, not on my location catalog. They wanted to step outside the boundaries and truly adventure, freezing alpine lake water and all.
Are you planning an elopement or want to hang out with me just because? I would love to talk locations and work together to find the perfect spot for you and your babe. Perfect like this one. Perfect for you. Let’s hang?
