Crystal & John
Has eloping crossed your mind but you aren’t sure where to begin? Or, do you know that you want to elope, you just haven’t picked a location yet? Breckenridge, Colorado is one of our favorite places to elope! It offers a variety of locations, and is beautiful year round!
Crystal and Jon are from my hometown in Pennsylvania, but they wanted to elope in a location that fit them a little bit more. Over the planning months, we went back and forth between Telluride and Breckenridge. Ultimately, they decided on Breckenridge because they wanted to ski and it was relatively easy for their family and friends to get too.
They rented a beautiful mountain house overlooking Breckenridge Mountain, and planned to have their ceremony on the back deck of their rental property. In true Colorado fashion, weather had different plans on their wedding day. A snow storm was supposed to roll in right around the time they wanted to have their ceremony. We called an impromptu meeting and moved their ceremony up a few hours so they could have a day of exploring around Breckenridge for their portrait session.
Although it was cold, their friends and family joined them on the deck of their mountain house. Crystal and Jon said ‘I do’ surrounded by their best friends and family (and beautiful mountains!). After their ceremony, Crystal and Jon wanted to surprise Jon’s mother and Crystal’s father with a dance! Typical weddings have a mother-son and father-daughter dance and this was very important to both of them. After a celebratory toast with mimosas, Crystal and Jon dance with their parents. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. It was perfect!
The snow held off a bit for us to jump in their G Wagon and explore Breckenridge. We went to an iconic spot in Breck, Sapphire Point. Crystal changed into her second dress and her and Jon did a first look in a snow field with gorgeous mountain views! We spent the rest of the evening with them cruising around Fresco, taking photos and stopped at a pub for a beer and nachos.
There’s nothing better than planning a wedding day around what YOU want to do. Crystal and Jon did just that. We can’t thank these two enough for allowing us to adventure with them!
