Your Loveland Pass Elopement Guide

  1. Guests Limit: Loveland Pass is ideal for couples looking to share their special day with a select few. Due to its intimate setting and fragile ecosystem, it’s recommended to keep the guest list small, typically around 10-15 people.
  2. Area Overview: Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Loveland Pass offers panoramic views and diverse landscapes. From alpine meadows to snow-covered peaks, couples can choose from a variety of stunning backdrops for their ceremony and photos.
  3. Best Time of Year: While Loveland Pass is beautiful year-round, the best time to elope depends on your preferences. Summer offers wildflower-filled meadows, while fall showcases a vibrant display of autumn colors. Spring and Winter, with its snow-covered landscape, provides a magical, serene setting.
  4. Permit Requirements: To ensure a seamless elopement, check local regulations. As of now, Loveland Pass doesn’t require a specific permit for small ceremonies. However, it’s crucial to stay informed about any changes and obtain the necessary permits if regulations evolve.
  5. Getting There: Accessible from Denver, Loveland Pass is a scenic drive along the Continental Divide. Be prepared for high-altitude conditions and changing weather. Consider hiring a local photographer who knows the area well to capture the best moments.
  6. Where to Stay: While there are no accommodations directly at Loveland Pass, nearby towns like Keystone and Dillon offer a range of lodging options. Whether you prefer a cozy cabin or a luxury resort, you’ll find the perfect place to unwind after your magical Loveland Pass elopement.

Loveland Pass Elopement Q & A

Can I get married at loveland pass?

You sure can!

how many guests can i have at my loveland pass elopement?

I recommend no more than 10-15 guests. Although a permit is required once you hit a certain number of guests. For a seamless Loveland Pass elopement, make sure to check with the parks office about current permit regulations for the amount of guests you’ll be having.

is a permit required to get married at loveland pass?

Depends. As of right now, a permit is not required if you’re having a small elopement with only a handful of guests. This could change at any moment though so it’s super important to double check the rules before planning your Loveland Pass elopement.

does it get busy at loveland pass?

Yes. Because of how accessible the pass is, Loveland Pass gets pretty busy even during the week. But for an elopement, I always tell my couples that the area is so wide, it’s easy to find privacy here. Most people who stop and take pictures stay up at the parking lot where the sign is, and they don’t go down where the lakes are.

whats the parking situation like?

The actual pass can hold about 20 cars, and same for the lakes. It’s usually pretty busy and packed. Going early in the morning for sunrise can help with parking!

<<< that’s me at loveland pass during sunset!

I moved to Colorado three years ago. The mountains were calling and I came running and never looked back. I have molded and shifted my life around adventuring these beautiful landscapes, snapping pictures whenever I can, and helping couples just like you bring their dream wedding day to life.

Why do I do it?

Because you deserve a wedding day that you will enjoy. I’ve been in your shoes. Back in 2016 I eloped (before elopements really took off in popularity) and I know what it’s like to have a vision in your mind but not sure how to make it come to fruition. I also know what it’s like to not want your wedding day to be a huge production. Let me help you bring your dream wedding day to life. Out in nature, with your love, stress-free, simple, amazing, and fun.

are you ready?

Colorado🏔️& Moab🏜️

Being in Moab yesterday had me reminiscing on Hill Being in Moab yesterday had me reminiscing on Hillary + Matt’s sunset elopement there a few seasons back so I wanted to share some from their day 💜💙🩷🧡  It had me thinking how an elopement day doesn’t have to end as soon as the sun goes down. All of these pics here were taken during the last few minutes of light, and then right after during what we call “blue hour”. That special time when everything turns shades of blue, and as you can see, it’s pretty magical ✨  .

All the fall colors for Holly + Mason’s elopement All the fall colors for Holly + Mason’s elopement last fall in Ouray 🍂 ⛰️  We drove up a 4x4 road, and were kind of surprised when we didn’t see another soul out there. It was just us and the wide open space. We explored the area a bit before making our way to their ceremony spot. They exchanged their vows right there in the mountains, in the chilly autumn air. It was what fall Colorado elopement dreams are made of. Something small. Simple. And set somewhere stunning ✨  If you’re thinking of eloping this fall, I only have 2 more dates available! Reach out today and we can start planning!!  .
