Colorado Elopement locations for couples who want epic views, privacy, and the ability to be outsidey vs totally outdoorsy. My passion is helping my couples find locations that speak to them and this spot in Colorado is truly one of my favorites.
Let’s dive into the beauty that is Colorado!!
There are a few locations in Rocky Mountain National Park that are super dreamy, and easy to get to.
Before we dive into the national parks I truly want to stress the importance of Leave No Trace, and taking care of our nature.
It’s how we will be able to keep visiting these locations time after time, and long after your vows!
I love this spot because it’s truly a blink and you will drive right by. This location is a side street parking, then a very small hike down but with 200 degree views. I highly recommend witnessing it at sunrise as the sun comes over the ridge and across the snow capped peaks.
One thing about Bear Lake is there are rules for this location for a reason, it can be very dangerous if you’re not familiar with ice & snow and are prepared to hike in it.
Some locations you can have more guests with you, this being one of them! You can be down in the meadow with the Mountains behind you as you say your vows.
Check all of them out, and apply for your permit through RMNP’s website
Also keep in mind that RMNP has a timed permit system. This means permits will go live for certain areas at a certain time of the year. You have to be ready and on it to secure your ceremony permit.
You can always reach out to me for more info on this, the permit rules change a lot and my job is to stay on top of it so you just get to enjoy your elopement.
This is my application to be your photographer! I’ve been featured on a few blogs just in 2025 alone and I have such a passion for helping couples have intentional elopement days.
Whether you want guests, extra vendors, or keep it just you & your partner I’m ready to fill your photo dreams.
