Winter elopements mean playing in the snow! This is one of my personal favorite locations to explore in the winter and I’m so glad I got to show Sam and Judge this beautiful spot! We met at the trailhead and got geared up for a short hike to our furthest point before they got changed into their formal wear. Sam wore a traditional Vietnamese dress as a nod to her heritage, which I thought was such a lovely idea!

We kept moving to stay warm and the couple were so brave about it! We had light winds and the perfect conditions for alpenglow views. Just as we started to head back to the cars, we got the best of the sunset views. There was absolutely no way we’d be booking it to the cars. We simply had to enjoy the sunset to its fullest! Sam and Judge had the best views I’d ever seen here! Here’s to more adventures for this couple!
