Snowy and Dreamy Elopement Overlooking the Collegiate Peaks in Twin Lakes
Rhett and Courtney’s Twin Lakes wedding was nothing short of magical. They chose to elope near their newly purchased property in Twin Lakes, CO, surrounded by close family who traveled from near and far. Despite the unpredictable April weather, we lucked out with sunshine and avoided the heavy snowstorm from the prior week.
The couple exchanged their first look and vows on the land where they plan to build their future home, and it was an emotional moment that brought tears to my eyes. Afterward, we hopped in their trusty Subaru to head up to the ceremony site. With 360-degree views of the Rockies, this quiet and breathtaking location became the perfect setting for their celebration. The family had set up a sweet spot to toast with champagne and keep the party going.
Planning a Twin Lakes wedding in April is not without its challenges. Just a week before their big day, the area experienced a snowstorm in typical Colorado fashion, and the lake they initially planned to marry on began to thaw. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the new ceremony spot showcased the Collegiate Peaks.
If you’re considering a Twin Lakes wedding or elopement, remember that Colorado’s terrain and weather can be unpredictable. A capable vehicle is essential, as some of the most stunning locations require a bit of adventure to reach. Rhett and Courtney’s day was proof that flexibility and an adventurous spirit can lead to an unforgettable wedding experience.
