Crested Butte Snowboarding Honeymoon | Natalie + Jamil

Crested Butte Snowboarding Honeymoon | Natalie + Jamil

Natalie and Jamil decided to celebrate their marriage with a trip to the beautiful Crested Butte. The mountain is known for having some of the county’s most advanced terrain. Both Natalie and Jamil share a deep love of snowboarding, so they wanted photos of the two of them tearing up the mountain!

Breckenridge Snowboard Wedding | Stacey + Donnie

Breckenridge Snowboard Wedding | Stacey + Donnie

Stacey and Donnie celebrated their marriage by dressing up in their wedding clothes and snowboarding at Breckenridge. It was a super snowy day, and it felt like we were inside of a snow globe! After a few runs they warmed up in the Pioneer Crossing Lodge at the top of Peak 7 and enjoyed some champagne and beer at the bar.

While taking some photos outside of the lodge, the wind picked up and we were surrounded by what felt like a tornado of snow! Stacey and Donnie embraced the snow and we got some awesome photos. After they were properly warmed up, they donned their ski gear and did a few more runs before taking the gondola back.

These two had such a fun (and snowy!) day. It was a perfect way to celebrate their relationship by spending the day doing what they love to do together- snowboarding!

Why You Should Plan Your Ski Elopement on a Weekday

Why You Should Plan Your Ski Elopement on a Weekday

Imagine this- you arrive at the mountain and park only steps away from the gondola. You ski or snowboard on a mountain with only a few other people around. You have the whole trail to yourself. As soon as you get to the bottom, you ski right through to the lift and don’t have to share your chair with strangers. It’s just you, your partner, and the mountain. You talk, you snuggle, and enjoy the view until you get to the top for another perfect run.

How wonderful does that sound? Planning your elopement on a weekday allows you certain conveniences that are hard to come by over the weekend.

Winter Park Ski + Snowboard Elopement | Carissa + Aaron

Carissa and Aaron are childhood sweethearts from Oklahoma who recently moved to Colorado because of their love of skiing. Aaron even proposed to Carissa on a family ski trip to Wolf Creek.

We took their ski and snowboard wedding photos at Winter Park on a Friday, and it was a beautiful bluebird day. It was so much fun to see people who were so excited to witness a bride and groom skiing and snowboarding. Carissa + Aaron got so many congratulations’ and cheers from the other skiers and from some pumped-up lift operators.

It was such an awesome, beautiful day. We skied a few runs and ended with Carissa and Aaron toasting some champagne at the lodge. Check out some photos from their day below!
