Weddings don’t always have to be large, extravagant things. Thao and Peyton opted to have an intimate Breckenridge elopement surrounded by their closest friends and family. Even though we are based in Oklahoma, we are always down to travel! (Check out our LA wedding here.) We flew in a couple nights before, which gave plenty of time to explore the area and find perfect locations for their elopement to take place.
Thao and her bridesmaids got ready at Gravity Haus Breckenridge. Peyton and his groomsmen got ready at a family home in the mountains. They both had such relaxing mornings, exactly the way a wedding day should start.
Originally, the bride and groom had planned to do their elopement at Sapphire Point. It is one of the most popular places in Breckenridge to elope, and for good reason! Overlooking Lake Dillon, Sapphire Point can be reserved for two hours at a time and is perfect for groups of up to 35 people. It is also handicap accessible and available year-round! However, due to the location of Sapphire Point, random people are still able to access the area. Not ideal for an intimate elopement. After the area however, we found access to the Lake Dillon waterfront, and they decided to get married at the waters edge.
The first look for the bride and groom was in a lush valley, a short drive from Sapphire Point. We couldn’t have chosen a more epic background to capture the moment! It was off the roadway a bit, so random travelers driving by would honk to share good wishes and congratulations.
Literally the definition of an intimate Breckenridge elopement, they exchanged vows at the waters edge. Many happy tears were shed.
Forever thankful for the opportunity to travel and photograph such a beautiful wedding, but also for becoming great friends with this wonderful couple!
Cheers,
Rebecca
