Dreamy Summer Mountain Elopement | Mikaela + Chad

Mikaela and Chad’s elopement at Windy Point Group Campground outside of Breckenridge, Colorado was a day filled with intention, adventure, and the people who matter most. The day started with quiet moments—final hair and makeup touchups, capturing details, and writing their vows into keepsake vow books. They took time to read letters from each other, letting the emotions sink in before the day officially began. Their wedding crew added to the excitement, sharing laughs and candid moments. A quick FaceTime call to family brought loved ones into the celebration from afar.

Before heading out, Mikaela and Chad shared a first look and exchanged gifts, a private moment to take it all in before the big events of the day. Then, they made their way to Windy Point, where they prepared for the ceremony with the lake and mountains as their backdrop. The ceremony itself was simple and heartfelt, with personal vows and the signing of the marriage license marking the start of their next chapter together. Afterward, they celebrated with family, capturing portraits and soaking in the joy before saying goodbye to their crew and shifting into time just for the two of them.

With Windy Point’s stunning views surrounding them, they took portraits before settling in for a quiet picnic and cake-cutting moment. From there, the adventure continued with a drive to Loveland Pass, where the landscape provided the perfect backdrop for more portraits. As the sun dipped lower, they continued to explore until they found the perfect spot to share their private vows and their first dance—just the two of them, surrounded by alpine beauty.

The night wrapped up back at their Airbnb, where they made s’mores and watched the stars, ending their wedding day in the best way possible—relaxed, happy, and fully present in the moment. Mikaela and Chad’s elopement was exactly what they wanted: a day filled with love, adventure, and meaningful moments shared together!
