Jake and Bryanne’s Great Sand Dunes National Park Elopement
Jake and Bryanne stayed at an AirBnb just a few minutes away from the park for their Great Sand Dunes National Park elopement. While they both got ready for their big day in the AirBnb, I took detail shots all around the cabin. I captured their elopement announcements, the dress, and the florals. After they were both finished getting ready and had their wedding attire on, they finished writing their vows outside while enjoying the Colorado sunshine and warm weather. After they were finished up with writing their own vows, (if you need help writing your own vows, check out this blog post!) we took some portraits around the cabin, and some more with the mountains in the background. One of my favorite things about the Great Sand Dunes is that they abut right against the mountains. You get the best of both worlds when you have a Great Sand Dunes National Park elopement – you get the tallest sand dunes in the country, plus the snow covered peaks in the background. For Jake and Bryanne, we made sure to capture every aspect the park has to offer. They started their day with a hike through the river to get to their ceremony spot. After their ceremony, we headed up the dunes for some portraits. Before the sun set completely, they had themselves a picnic right in the sand dunes. Eloping is all about creating a day that is a reflection of your relationship. It strips back what a wedding day is really about – two people committing their lives to one another, and making promises. It’s not a show, theres no drama, it’s just the couple. How every wedding day should be.
