Officer's Gulch, Colorado Elopement

This was my first Spring elopement of the season and it was such a treat to capture this special day for this couple- and their doggie in tow! Officer's Gulch is a fun location for an elopement, or any photo session really, since it has so many different areas around the water to shoot from. This couple chose to set up a simple picnic area with a cake and some champagne to help celebrate their day!

There's a beautiful rock lookout point at this location as well, where they decided to say some vows to each other. I love this area specifically since you get a great view of the surrounding mountains along with the water. You can even see the peak of the ski mountain at Ski Copper from this lookout area!
