Best Elopement Locations in Colorado

As a Colorado elopement videographer, I have had the privilege of filming some of the most beautiful and romantic elopements in the state. Colorado has so many stunning locations to choose from, and I am excited to share my top picks with couples who are planning their own elopement.

1. Rocky Mountain National Park:

This iconic park offers breathtaking mountain views and serene alpine lakes, making it the perfect backdrop for a romantic elopement. Couples can exchange vows at one of the many scenic overlooks or venture deeper into the park for a more secluded ceremony.

Check the park's website for permit requirements and restrictions, as well as tips for staying safe and protecting the natural environment. Arrive early in the morning or later in the day to avoid crowds and get the best lighting for your photos and video.

2. Maroon Bells:

The Maroon Bells, located near Aspen, are often considered the most photographed mountains in North America, and for good reason. The towering peaks, mirrored in the crystal-clear waters of Maroon Lake, create a stunning backdrop for any elopement.

This charming mountain town offers a variety of stunning locations for an elopement, from the stunning Bridal Veil Falls to the picturesque Main Street. Telluride also boasts a variety of upscale accommodations and dining options, making it the perfect destination for a luxurious elopement.

Book your accommodations and vendors well in advance, as Telluride can be a popular destination for weddings and events. Consider incorporating some of the town's history and culture into your elopement, such as a ride on the historic gondola or a visit to the Telluride Historical Museum.

4. Great Sand Dunes National Park:

This unique park features towering sand dunes, the perfect backdrop for a one-of-a-kind elopement. Couples can exchange vows on the dunes or venture into the surrounding mountains for a more secluded ceremony.
