Silverthorne Airbnb Dog-Filled Elopement

Dogs & Good vibes


Dogs & Perfect Vibes


Brianna and Levi’s elopement was a magical day, filled with love, stunning scenery, and the warm presence of their two beloved dogs. The couple chose a unique and beautiful Airbnb in Silverthorne, Colorado, for their special day. This was no ordinary venue—it was the highest-elevation house in Silverthorne, offering sweeping views of Summit County and Lake Dillon, providing an unforgettable backdrop for their intimate celebration.

Getting Ready


The day began with Brianna and Levi getting ready, surrounded by the breathtaking vistas that stretched out before them. The atmosphere was one of calm excitement, with the couple’s dogs adding to the joyful and relaxed ambiance. As their photographer, I had the honor of capturing these precious moments, from the final touches of Brianna’s makeup to Levi adjusting his tie, both brimming with anticipation for the ceremony ahead.

My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for.

And every small detail is just as important as the big ones because your day is just a culmination of all the little wonderful things.

The Ceremony & Signing


The ceremony itself was a beautiful testament to their love. Brianna and Levi exchanged heartfelt vows, their words resonating with the depth of their commitment. They included a unity ceremony where they poured sand into a glass cylinder, symbolizing the blending of their lives into one. This touching gesture added a meaningful and personal touch to their vows, underscoring the unity and partnership they were celebrating.


One of the most delightful moments of the day was when their dogs "signed" the marriage license. This playful yet significant act perfectly captured the spirit of their day—full of love, joy, and a touch of whimsy.
