Elopement Photography with mountain background at intimate ceremony site as the bride and groom said their vows

Lumpy Ridge is in the background of this intimate ceremony site as Erin and Alex said their vows.

Their intimate elopement at the Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park, Colorado was equal parts emotional and nutty. The sweet vows the couple exchanged had everyone tearing up in the mountain shelter on that beautiful early September day.  Afterward, their two friends in attendance put on huge dinosaur costumes that had us all busting with laughter the entire time – especially when they chased the newlyweds across the lawn. The dinosaurs were snarling and growling too, so the couple's faces of terror were appropriate, and we were all buckled over with laughter.
