Emilia & Haydin were the type of couple I could make magic with: they trusted me fully, they leaned into their weirdness in the best way, and they curated their elopement day to feel so naturally them, that the day fell into place so easily. We planned for about 9 months for their day, and chose a Crested Butte elopement for many reasons, but ultimately Emilia and Haydin wanted a new place to explore (since they live here in Colorado!), wanted a fun atmosphere to bring family, and wanted epic views for their ceremony, and nothing made the top of the list like Crested Butte’s wildflowers. Their elopement day will forever be one of my favorites for many reasons, and I hope you can feel the tears, all the fun we had, and allllll of their coolness through these images.
You can also find their engagement session over here!
Here’s their Crested Butte Elopement inspiration:
