NICK + ANDREA’S EMERALD LAKE ELOPEMENT | ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK | TRAIL RIDGE ROAD
When you elope in the mountains of Colorado, you betta be making it a full day adventure and starting at 3am. Just kidding….kind of. Andrea and Nick reached out to me wanting to elope in Rocky Mountain National and make it a day they wouldn’t forget.
We planned to meet at their Estes Park airbnb in the wee hours of the morning while Andrea was getting her hair and makeup done. When we arrived at the parking lot, we used our headlamps and iPhones to light the way of our hike. (SIDENOTE: If you’re going to a location in the dark, be familiar with your surroundings. You’re in the wild, surrounded by darkness.) We munched on snacks while we waited for sunrise and it was just perfectly cold and beautiful. ↓ Check it out! ↓
As it started to get light, they parted and got dressed while Nick went down to the lake and wait for the first look with Andrea. The sun started to warm us and we were surrounded by little Uintah chipmunks that scurried across their vow books and our hiking shoes. I’m pretty convinced one would have gladly cracked into my camera bag and let me take it home. These vows were overdue, sweet and at the absolute perfect peaceful time. After our hike back down from the lake, we got in the car and kept exploring. We drove up to Trail Ridge Road and caught all of the views and warmed up in the sunshine. One of the best parts of the day was sitting in the car with them and no location in particular, but to find something beautiful to photograph along the way. Hope you enjoy. Check em out!
