Sunrise Wedding In The Colorado Desert

elopement
Written By Kimberly Crist
 

The most incredible time to elope on the western slope and in the Colorado desert, is during sunrise.

While the temperatures are typically in the high 90’s to 100’s with full sun, sunrise is just something to behold in the summer. It’s this perfect part of the morning where the sun is still tucked behind the book cliffs, you can spot the moon anywhere in the sky, and the area is still and private.

It made the perfect backdrop for these two to get dressed under the moon, say their vows with their family, have their children sign as witnesses on their marriage license, and eat cake at 6 am. Heck yes, cake at 6 am.

Hi hello, I’m Kimberly 👋

I’m a Colorado elopement photographer who spends most of her time helping couples ditch the stress of traditional weddings and get married somewhere wildly beautiful instead. Most of my days are spent exploring places around Crested Butte, Denver, and the San Juans looking for beautiful ceremony spots and chasing good light.

If your wedding day includes dirt roads, wildflowers, sunrise lakes, or your dog in a tiny bandana, we’re probably going to get along great. You bring the vows — I’ll bring the camera, the location ideas, and an unreasonable amount of snacks.
