​​Let's Go on a Voyage Together

Jefe & Chloe Elopement on Kebler Pass, Colorado, April 2022

You never know just how a winter wedding is going to turn out as a photographer.  It is challenging to photograph a white dress on a white background and it is difficult not to over expose foregrounds and backgrounds.  Finding the right contrast is an on-going battle and the weather can hardly be counted on.  Will there be low visibility?  Will the sun be overly bright?

  However, sometimes winter weddings, or elopements, just turn out perfect.  Jefe and Chloe's ceremony and reception were exactly that, amazing!  The weather was partly cloudy and the entire ceremony was amazingly lit and shadowed.  The guests were required to ride snowmobiles and over 40 were rented in order to get everyone to the grounds.  The snowmobiles were then organized into rows and used for seating during the event.  One was also used to aid the escape of the newly-weds!​

The lighting couldn't have been better, and neither could the backdrop.

I was impressed with how well everything worked out considering the outlandish circumstances.  This elopement / wedding would be hard to match.  I've been to this location several times during the fall and weddings here during that time are absolutely amazing, but I never imagined to see one during the winter!
Picture
The reception was held at Elk Avenue Prime in downtown Crested Butte, Colorado and was absolutely fantastic.  It was the perfect spot for a small to medium size wedding party to celebrate downtown and get loose on the dance floor!

If you are considering getting hitched in the Crested Butte area I would definitely recommend this venue!

What My Clients Are Saying:

​"My husband and I have known Andy for years and when we got married he was our first choice for photographers for so many reasons. We wanted someone who would capture our big day without it feeling intrusive, or forced, he was so fun and easy going and put us and our guests/wedding party at ease. His natural ability to capture and highlight landscapes made for pictures that showcase why we choose to get married in the mountains. He paid close attention to details, and got candid shots we absolutely love. Additionally he was so organized and got every posed shot we had asked him for, without us having to worry or keep track. He got the pictures back to us quickly and has been so fun and professional to work with. I highly recommend Andy for any occasion." -Nicole Patrick
