Tying the Knot Amongst the Peaks: A Breckenridge Mountain Elopement

Okay, picture this: crisp mountain air, snow-dusted pines, and two souls deeply in love. That's exactly what I got to witness and capture during Molly and Garrett's incredible mountain elopement in Breckenridge, Colorado. Seriously, you guys, these two are the real deal!

Molly and Garrett are all about mountains, snowboarding, and living life to the fullest together. So, naturally, they chose to say "I do" surrounded by the majestic peaks of Colorado, with their adorable pup Izzy by their side and a handful of their nearest and dearest cheering them on. Honestly, being there to witness their vows and document their day was a total heart-swell moment.

We kicked things off by exploring the charming streets of downtown Breckenridge for some fun photos, then hopped on the gondola for a ride up the mountain. Imagine running through that fresh, powdery snow, and then BAM! - a stunning mountain sunset painting the sky. It was pure magic. But the best part? Getting to see Molly and Garrett officially become husband and wife in their happy place. Talk about a dream come true!

And for all you film buffs out there, this elopement was a 35mm film dream. I'm so stoked to share these film photos – there's just something so timeless and romantic about them. It really adds a special touch to capturing such a special day. I'm officially obsessed with shooting 35mm film elopements in Colorado and I'm hoping to capture more couples that want 35mm film and super 8mm videos for their wedding day.
