Jenna & Greg's Winter Breckenridge Elopement

Before it all started

"Leading up to our elopement, [Erica] helped us plan for the perfect place to get married, which ended up being more beautiful than we could have ever imagined."

Jenna and Greg’s elopement was the epitome of elegance and significance, perfectly encapsulating their desire for an intimate and authentic start to their married life. Choosing to elope independently without the presence of family and friends was a challenging decision, but ultimately, it was the right one for them. This choice allowed them to begin their marriage in a relaxed and beautiful setting, truly savoring each moment together.

The couple, currently residing in Nashville, Tennessee, meticulously planned their special day well in advance. They contacted me about a year and a half before their chosen date, demonstrating their thorough approach to ensuring everything was perfect. Their hearts were set on Colorado, drawn by its breathtaking landscapes and stunning vistas, which provided the ideal backdrop for their ceremony.

Their elopement day started without a hitch. We began taking photos of them getting ready at 9 am at the rental they were staying at in Breckenridge. It was a snowy morning for me coming up from Denver but I have a AWD car and have no issues driving through the snow!

We drove about 30 minutes from their rental to their ceremony site. They chose Sapphire Point for its beauty and accessibility.

For their ceremony, Jenna & Greg chose to share vows that they had written prior to their day. With music playing in the background, it was hard not to get teary-eyed with the beautiful words that they exchanged. The tranquility of the environment reflected the calm and joy in their hearts, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the significance of the moment.

By choosing to elope in this manner, Jenna and Greg were able to craft an experience that felt genuinely reflective of their values and desires. Their wedding was not only a celebration of their love but also a testament to their commitment to starting their marriage on their own terms. It was a dream wedding that marked the beginning of this new chapter in their lives, celebrated in a way that was authentically and undeniably theirs.
