Fall Estes Park Hiking Elopement | Kaitlin + Sara

Throughout the planning process, Kaitlin and Sara made it a priority to have a relaxed, stress-free day in Estes Park and it definitely paid off!

After helping each other get ready on the most perfect September day, they laced up their hiking boots and climbed to an overlook where they shared their vows and soaked up some rays of sun.

We enjoyed a leisurely hike back down before making our way into Rocky Mountain National Park to explore a bit. Kaitlin and Sara shared a picnic and cheersed some beers while admiring Longs Peak before heading up to 11,000 feet elevation for sunset.

Spending the day focusing on slowing down and enjoying the moment with these two was so memorable, and something I encourage anyone who is planning their wedding day to consider! If there’s one thing I know, it’s that your wedding day will fly by.

Be sure to pause every now and then to soak it all in ❤️
