An Intimate Ouray Elopement
I know that I often call all the weddings I photograph “romantic” but Monia and Kyle’s Ouray elopement truly was romantic; they got dressed within an aspen grove, shared a first look together on the shores of Crystal Lake, said their vows on a high elevation mountain overlook, and ended the evening with a charming charcuterie spread, a bottle of champagne, and a custom-made cake. I don’t think you could say that wasn’t romantic.
