A Crested Butte Elopement | Colorado Wedding Photographer

Crested Butte may just be the perfect place to elope in Colorado. That’s a pretty strong statement, I know. Especially considering the seemingly endless wonders this state has to offer. But if you’ve ever been to Crested Butte, you have an idea of how magical of a destination it really is.

Reasons to elope in Crested Butte, Colorado:

  1. It’s remote! If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Front Range and the more easily accessible mountain towns, Crested Butte offers seclusion and the beauty that comes from being located right smack dab in the middle of the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

  2. There’s nothing quite like wildflower season in Crested Butte. Come summer, Crested Butte’s hills and mountains dazzle with wildflowers like lupine and aster and sunflowers and columbines and goldenrods and on and on and on! It’s a sight to behold. And the perfect complement to your adventure elopement.

  3. There’s lots of unique options for lodging, food, and fun. Take this cool little boutique hotel. Or this deliciously rad pizza place in town. There’s endless amounts of fun to be had adventuring whether that’s off-roading, paddle boarding, ATV-ing, hiking, mountain biking, and more. And that’s just in the summer!

  4. Everywhere to turn, you’ll find the perfect, most beautiful backdrop to your elopement. Trust me. Or see for yourself!

Check out this Crested Butte elopement. I met up with A + M dark and early for a drive up to Emerald Lake where these two decided to say their vows and exchange rings among the sunflowers, the lake in the background. We then wandered to our hearts’ content and A + M had their first dance as the mountains became aglow with sunrise. It was such a special morning to witness and document and I’m so grateful I could be a part of this day.
