Boho Snowy Winter Elopement // Sapphire point overlook, Co

Dreaming of a boho, snowy Colorado elopement? Look no further… I’ve got all the inspo you need right here. From the lace wedding gown with a Rue De Seine feel to the Overland Sheepskin shearling coats to the winter wonderland landscape of Breckenridge — this romantic elopement was all of that and more. Most dream of a wildflower wedding, others dream of a fall foliage wedding, but few dream of a winter wonderland wedding (mostly because of chilly temps + less accessible locations). Good thing for you, I’ve helped couples curate their unique wedding experience in each of these dreamy settings. Without further-ado, let’s dive into this winter elopement at Sapphire Point Overlook, CO.

Best winter elopement location in colorado: sapphire point overlook

Welcome to Sapphire Point Overlook, just outside of Breckenridge, Colorado! As an expert in Colorado elopements, I can attest that when it comes to winter wedding planning, the primary challenge is finding an easily accessible, jaw-droppingly beautiful location in the mountains. The reason for this? Once winter sets in, most hiking trails and all off-roads are completely snowed in. Unless you’re willing to snowshoe or backcountry ski (I’m up for either, just sayin!) your way to a mountain overlook, Sapphire Point Overlook is the place for your winter wedding.

If this location doesn’t spark your fancy, I’d be happy to suggest my other favorites in the area with tall alpine and mountain views in the distance. When you choose to book me as your Colorado elopement photographer, you gain access to my planning resources. This includes a tailored location guide to your needs and preferences.

HOw to elope in Breckenridge: my 3 best tips

Choose a season

Since you’re reading this blog, it’s safe to assume you’re thinking about a winter elopement or micro wedding. Because of the chilly temps and unforgiving weather patterns (you know how crazy weather can be in Colorado), your winter celebration is best planned indoors with a quick ceremony and bridals outdoors. We’d start with getting ready at your cozy, luxury rental, then head to your ceremony location to do the damn thing! Then, we’d head to Main Street for a few photos on the town before sending you to a fancy candle-lit dinner overlooking the twinkling lights. Here’s a few recommendations for dinner:

• Hearthstone Restaurant: Make a reservation and ask to be seated upstairs by the window.

• Briar Rose Chophouse: The ambiance here is top-tier.

• Rootstalk: Polished casual feel with an incredible menu.
