Abbi + Matt's Durango, Colorado, Elopement

Sometimes weddings work out perfectly.  This was one of those weddings.  Abbi was great to work with from the start; we spoke on the phone and she basically left all of the planning to me regarding where we should go for their ceremony, reception, and photography.

We made some general plans and wanted to go up high in the mountains, but due to this elopement being in May it was hard to predict the weather so I kept some alternate plans in the back of my mind.  Sure enough, the weather at our location (12,500 feet elevation near Silverton, Colorado) wasn't ideal.  It was forecasted to be rainy, snowy, blustery, and generally cold!  We did some photos at our original low-elevation location and then decided to bail on the high-elevation plan and go with my plan-B.  

The temperature was great, no sweating, no shivering, and we got some nice cloud cover with no rain!  The ceremony spot was fantastic and only an hour drive from Durango.  Everyone was comfortable and our extra layers turned out to be unnecessary.

I would like to give a big shout out to the bride, Abbi, and groom, Matt, for being absolutely amazing to work with.  A photographer's dream couple.  Cheers you two!
