Brianna & Aaron’s Breckenridge Hiking Elopement
Brianna and Aaron’s Breckenridge hiking elopement was the kind of day that reminds you how beautiful love and nature can be when they come together. We met at the Blue Lake Trail trailhead in the afternoon and began with a short hike to a nearby waterfall. The cascading water set the scene for epic portraits, with Brianna kicking off her shoes at one point to navigate the slick rocks.
The wind picked up just enough to create stunning moments as her dress flowed dramatically while Aaron held her close. It was one of those serendipitous instances that made their love feel even larger than the landscape around them. We then hiked to a more secluded spot for their ceremony, the climb adding a sense of intimacy and connection. When we arrived, we were fortunate to have the space entirely to ourselves.
Their vows were heartfelt and simple, perfectly matched to the mountain setting. Afterward, Aaron wrapped Brianna in his suit jacket to keep her warm, and they celebrated with a champagne toast. As the sun dipped, we captured gorgeous sunset portraits, a perfect ending to their adventure and the start of their new chapter together.
Vendor Highlights
“When my husband and I decided to elope, we didn’t know where to begin. We started to do some research into different photographers and immediately fell in love with Ethan’s photography style. I was very impressed with his professionalism from the beginning. He met with us to have a phone conversation to get to know more about us and our vision for our special day. He is so personable and made the planning process so easy. He provided us with an elopement guide which was super helpful considering we had never been to the actual location where we planned to elope. We filled out a few different questionnaires so that Ethan could know our expectations for this process. He did wonderfully!
I could not have planned for a better day than we had. He made the experience so memorable and was willing to do anything and everything we wanted for our photo ideas while at our location. He sent us sneak peek photos just days after our wedding. We sent out announcement cards to friends and family so this was so appreciated. We HIGHLY recommend Ethan as your elopement photographer. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into and he made the process so effortless! We cannot thank you enough Ethan!!”
