Boulder Hiking Elopement | Audrey + Melody
Posted On | November 6, 2021
Colorado is known for our dramatic mountain views, but Melody and Audrey’s elopement makes a strong case for the beauty of the foothills in Boulder!
Audrey and Melody first met while in medical school, becoming instant friends and study buddies. When asked when they fell in love for the first time, Audrey told me “There was no one moment where I fell in love with Melody. I think I loved her always.”
They became engaged while on a trip to Cumberland Island Sea Shore after watching the sunrise together and they knew that a secluded elopement in Colorado was exactly how they wanted to get married!
They started the afternoon at the gorgeous Ramble hotel, taking their time getting ready between snuggles and sips of coffee.
When the time came, we drove to the Boulder foothills where they both changed into their gowns, gushing over how gorgeous they each looked during their first look.
Embracing the unusually warm November weather, we hiked up to a secluded overlook, arriving just in time for the brides to share their vows as the sun set over the mountains in the distance. Tears were continuous as they shared their hearts and made one of the most important commitments two people can make.
After a celebratory post-ceremony howl, Melody and Audrey popped some bubbly and enjoyed some cake and charcuterie as the last rays of light turned everything in sight pink and purple.
Admiring the city lights in the distance, we made our way back down in the dark before heading to our last spot of the night. After seeing a shooting star the night Melody dropped Audrey off after attending their first med school party together and knowing that it was a sign that the relationship was meant to be, we of course had to end the evening stargazing!
Every single second of Melody and Audrey’s elopement felt like perfection, and I am so honored to have been able to capture it!
