How They Pulled Off a Stunning Elopement in Record Time | Kristi & Richard

5 weeks and 2 days.

That’s how quickly we planned Kristi and Richard’s elopement in Estes Park.

From the second they reached out, Kristi was clear on her vision and I think it perfectly sums up their elopement day:

“Pretty hair and makeup with my beautiful daughters and a pretty dress.

It is the boys laughing and having fun getting ready.

It is a first look and whispered: “I love you’s”.

It is a hike to the place where our dreams become real knowing God is with us, around us and within our hearts.

It is beautiful quiet moments and laughter and who knows what along the way – and that’s ok!

It’s quiet moments and loud whoop whoops!

It’s tender glances and happy dances. It’s mountaintop highs or standing in a valley sweetly held by the beauty surrounding us.

The beauty is…..the adventure and the moments as they unfold will be the beauty.”

That right there is it. That was everything for these two on the day they wed. And I hope Kristi and Richard’s elopement photos tell that story perfectly.
