Sunrise Telluride Elopement - Susan & Tim - Colorado Elopement Photographer

Telluride Colorado has been a location that I have been dying to shoot an elopement or a wedding. This little mountain town is tucked away in the San Juan Mountains. You are surrounded by epic views and fresh air.
This is where Susan & Tim wanted to say I do. After doing some research I found a secluded mountain lake surrounding by mountains that soared up above. The goal was to get there before sunrise so that I could get set up and they could say their vows as the sun climbed up over the mountains. We met in town early at 4am, I had this vision for a nighttime back lit shot in Telluride as the city slept. After nailing this shot, we drove up as far as we could, parked and hiked the rest of the way to the lake. 

The plan worked perfectly, the sun rose, they said their vows, and we created some magic.

After, we headed back into the village for some coffee (Which was much needed). After a gondola ride, and some photos at the top of the mountain, we made our way to The Butcher and The Baker to  get a cupcake and some champagne for their “toast”. 

There is nothing like being in the crisp mountain air with some rad people who are in love and want to have the stress free experience of eloping over a huge wedding.
