Tucked away in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, Ouray, Colorado, is the perfect place for couples who want an adventurous yet intimate elopement.

Erin and Konnor did just that! Trading a big wedding for a day that was completely their own. It was just the two of them, the mountains, and me, their photographer, capturing every peaceful, beautiful moment.

We started the day with a beautiful first look and ceremony. Surrounded by the beauty of natural and rugged peaks, everything felt so perfect! There was no rush—just the crisp mountain air, the sound of shoes crunching on the dirt, and the way they looked at each other, completely in the moment.

Everything from the first look to the cake cutting nearly had me in tears! I could truly feel the love beam from these two. On top of that, Ouray’s landscapes gave us those breathtaking views that make you stop mid-step just to take it all in.

After exploring and hiking a bit, Erin and Konnor set up a small picnic with champagne and a beautiful yet simple cake. No reception, no speeches—just them, celebrating in a way that felt right.

They popped the champagne, laughed at the bubbles overflowing, and shared a glass while enjoying just being in the moment. Simple, real, and honestly, perfect.

What I love most about elopements like this is how personal they are. No distractions, no schedules, just two people focused on each other and the experience. Ouray’s wild beauty was the perfect backdrop for Erin and Konnor’s love story. Being part of their special day was an absolute honor!
