Intimate Alpine Lake Wedding in Breckenridge, Colorado

When Sara and Cullen first reached out to me, we instantly clicked—it was one of those connections that just felt right. They had found me through J+T’s wildflower micro wedding blog and were immediately drawn to the idea of having a similar intimate celebration, but one that was uniquely theirs. They wanted something that reflected their story, their love, and the places that held special meaning to them.

Breckenridge was an easy choice for their celebration. It’s a place that’s close to their hearts, filled with memories of trips spent with family and friends over the years. So, when it came time to choose a location for their mid-July wedding, Breckenridge just felt like home. They envisioned a day that was private and personal, surrounded by the natural beauty that they both adore.

Ceremony LOCATION MUST-HAVEs:

During the planning process, Sara and Cullen shared with me how much they wanted a location that felt secluded yet was still easy for their loved ones to reach. It was important to them that their guests could enjoy the day without the stress of a challenging journey. That’s when my Breckenridge planning guides came in handy—these are something I share with all my couples when they book with me. They’re jam-packed with off-the-beaten-path locations, cozy lodging recommendations, and local vendors that help bring everything together.

Best Breckenridge Elopement Spot

After going through the guide, Sara and Cullen found the perfect spot—a serene alpine lake that offered everything they were looking for. It was tucked away enough to feel like their own little world, yet easily accessible for their guests. The lake, surrounded by towering pines and the majestic Rocky Mountains, set the scene for a day that was as breathtaking as it was meaningful.

Their ceremony was a heartfelt and intimate affair, with just their immediate family and closest mutual friends there to witness their vows. The love in the air was palpable—every word, every glance between them carried so much meaning. After the ceremony, they gathered with their loved ones for a series of toasts that were as warm and heartfelt as the July sun. It was a moment of shared joy, laughter, and tears, as everyone celebrated the love story that had brought them all together.

PRO TIP: Get these plastic champagne flutes for your toasts! They easily pop together, look beautiful and elevate your images. We also want to limit glass in nature.

Capturing this day was such a joy for me. It was one of those weddings where everything just came together so beautifully—the location, the love, the people. Sara and Cullen’s story is a perfect example of how you can create a day that’s both luxurious and deeply personal, surrounded by the beauty of Colorado’s mountains.
