When it’s not camping season, it’s show season 🕺🏻🪩

She witnessed our love, signed the paperwork, and made it official. 🐾💍

We learned that in Colorado it is legal to have your dog act as your witness and sign your marriage license! So of course we had her sign it 🥹🐾

10 years and 100+ couples in, and I still think your 3am idea is the best idea.

Yes, you can elope in Colorado for FREE!!

No, that does not mean YOLO, vows anywhere, zero rules. Keep it under 6 people, skip the arch and the speakers, leave no trace, and huge stretches of National Forest are yours for exactly $0.

Knowing which stretches? That's my job! (And honestly?? I'm really good at it.)

Never dreamed about your wedding day? Same. Neither did I.

Honestly I never really wanted to get married at all. Then I met someone off a dating app who I could finally picture doing the whole rest of my life with, and that changed pretty fast.

So no, I'm not going to judge how you met. I am absolutely going to ask how the proposal went down though, because I'm nosey and I need all of it.

And if you feel a little weird right now because you don't want the aisle or the seating chart or the 200 people, you're not broken. You're just my kindof people.

4x4 road math for your elopement timeline: 6 miles does NOT mean 15 minutes.

On an old mining road, 6 miles can be a two hour drive. Easily. So we pad everything.

But here's the thing, the drive isn't the obstacle between you and the spot. It kind of is the day. The pull offs, the snack breaks, your dog's ears flapping out the window, that one song you forgot was on the playlist.

So build the time in. You're going to want it.

I only work in Colorado. Partly because I love it here.

Mostly because the weather app is a friggen liar.

It'll say 20% chance of rain and you'll get hailed on above treeline at 1pm. It'll say thunderstorms all day and the sky will be completely clear by 9am. It is wrong constantly, and it's wrong in specific, predictable ways.

Which you only really learn by being out in it for thirteen years and getting it wrong yourself a bunch of times first.

How to write your vows: don't start by writing.

I know. But hear me out. What actually happens when you open a blank doc is you stare at it for twenty minutes, type and delete the same sentence four times, and then go do literally anything else.

So skip that part. Open your notes app and just dump. Bullet points. Half sentences. The dumb inside joke. No editing, no making it sound nice, that comes way later.

And then say it out loud. If it sounds weird coming out of your mouth, cut it. That's basically the whole editing process.

"Who reads their vows first?"

Nobody thinks about this until you're standing there and it's time to start and you're both just going "you go." "no YOU go." "okay at the same time?" (that never works.)

So here are your actual options. Coin toss. Rock paper scissors. Thumb war.

I've watched all three happen and the thumb war was the single best ceremony opener I have ever seen. I think about it about once a month.

Crested Butte is my favorite place in Colorado to photograph and it is not actually about the wildflowers.

I mean, the wildflowers are insane. Columbine, lupine, paintbrush, all going off at 11,000 feet like it's their job. That part is real.

But what actually gets me is that it's a really good TOWN. The coffee shop has a dog water bowl out front. You can walk everywhere. Strangers say hi on the trail.

And the practical stuff is almost too easy. Most small elopements don't need a permit at all, and you can drive straight up to Gothic Valley, Emerald Lake, Lake Irwin, Kebler Pass. No six mile approach. No sweating through your clothes.

Somehow still underrated. I cannot explain it.
