There’s something about the Colorado mountains that makes every moment feel just a little more magical. And Courtney and Wade’s elopement? It was straight out of a storybook. With the stunning backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park and an intimate crew of their closest people, their wedding day was effortlessly beautiful, wildly romantic, and deeply personal—from beginning to end.
To Courtney and Wade
Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding day. I loved every minute celebrating y’all. It’s clear you both have so much love and respect for each other– I wish you both all the love, health and happiness in the years to come <3

Getting Ready at Antler’s Point
The day kicked off at the cozy and scenic Antler’s Point cabins, tucked right near the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. These luxury cabins set the tone for the day—peaceful, tucked away, and surrounded by jaw-dropping mountain views. Courtney and Wade got ready separately in their cabins, and then we did their first look right on the property.
Private Vows Among the Pines
After their first look, we headed into Rocky Mountain National Park for some private vows and portraits. Just the two of them, with the mountains standing tall around us and the sun peeking through the pines. These quiet moments were incredibly special—just the two of them promising forever, with the crisp mountain air and complete stillness all around. It’s moments like these that remind you just how powerful an elopement can be.
An Intimate Ceremony at 3M Curve
Later in the afternoon, we met up with their closest family and friends at 3M Curve—one of the park’s most breathtaking ceremony spots. Perched above the forest with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, this spot felt like it was made just for them. With happy tears, laughter, and the wind gently rustling through the trees, Courtney and Wade tied the knot surrounded by the people who love them most.
Group Photos & Big Smiles at the RMNP Sign
Of course, no Rocky Mountain wedding is complete without a classic photo op at the Rocky Mountain National Park sign. We gathered everyone—family, friends, and even the adorable ring bearer—for group shots and those big joyful smiles. It was the perfect way to capture just how loved Courtney and Wade are.
Dinner, Toasts, and Dancing at Nest Above
The celebration continued at Nest Above in Estes Park, a stylish, intimate space perfect for winding down and soaking in the joy of the day. With an incredible dinner, heartfelt toasts, and more than a few sweet dance moves, the evening was a perfect reflection of Courtney and Wade: warm, genuine, and full of love.
From quiet moments in the woods to heartfelt vows and mountain views for days, this Rocky Mountain elopement was everything a couple could dream of—and more.
