Imagine exchanging vows amidst breathtaking Rocky Mountain vistas, as Kimberly and Bryan did in their romantic Boulder elopement. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, they persevered, ultimately realizing that it’s the people and memories that truly matter – a valuable lesson that resonates deeply with me at Worldwide Wedding Wonders. The couple’s stunning appearance was elevated by pops of vibrant red and striking floral arrangements, beautifully captured by Josie V Photography. Their love story is a heartwarming celebration of their devotion, one that I’m thrilled to share with you.
Boulder Elopement
The Vision
Our initial plan for a small, intimate wedding was initially unaffected by COVID-19. We had envisioned exchanging vows with close friends and family at Rocky Mountain National Park. However, just 10 days prior to the big day, our permit was unexpectedly cancelled due to capacity restrictions. Undeterred, we hatched an alternative plan. Josie suggested a sunrise hike to Dream Lake a few days before the wedding, allowing us to still capture stunning photos within the park’s breathtaking landscape. I borrowed a dress from my trusty best friend and Bryan packed an extra suit, and we made the most of the situation, embracing our new plan with enthusiasm.
On The Day
As we exchanged vows on our special day, we felt incredibly grateful to have such a loving and supportive community surrounding us. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, many of our loved ones traveled from Atlanta to join in the celebration, making it an even more meaningful occasion.
Our intimate backyard ceremony allowed for a unique blend of family and friend involvement. We seized the opportunity to steal away for some one-on-one photos before the sun dipped below the horizon, creating a relaxed atmosphere that was a far cry from the usual wedding day pressures.
In hindsight, I would highly recommend adopting this approach for any couples looking to truly soak up the joy and love on their big day. With Josie’s incredible talent at capturing life’s precious moments, we felt secure in knowing our memories were in capable hands.
Although we’re still planning a reception in the future, we both agree that our wedding day was nothing short of perfect.
