I was so incredibly lucky to shoot a private elopement with these two fantastic people in Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend! Jasmine & Aaron’s little ceremony just outside of Estes Park was joy-filled and idyllic, and when the sun broke through for a few minutes of gold light I thought the day couldn’t get any better. But I was proven wrong when we arrived at nearby Sprague lake for more portraits of the couple and were surrounded by the most magical blizzard. We were even graced with a brilliant sunset across the high peaks, a rare treat in the winter! What a gorgeous fairytale day.
Thank you for choosing me to capture the first day of the rest of your lives! Many happy returns! -Lucy

New in 2017: Tiny Planet images for my wedding & elopement couples! What a gorgeous location for it!
110% in love, I LOVE when my couples crack up together!
A winter sunset in the mountains is a treat and we definitely made the most of it!
To cap off the fairytale, we played with some candlelit lanterns in the twilight.
So beautiful!!! I love them all – but especially that last photo. Backlighting + Lanterns= Pure magic!
Thank you Martha! I have lanterns as well, so we can use them for your wedding or engagement photos!
Lucy, I don’t even know these people, and I found your photography brought tears to my eyes – and not just once. You have brought out all of the wonder and romance.
[…] How to Elope at Sprague Lake: If you want a lake view, this is my first choice in Rocky for your elopement! A short, flat, accessible 0.4 mile walk from the parking area leads you to a tiny dock with a great view of Hallett, Otis and Flattop peaks. Early mornings are best here and the lake gets more and more crowded as the day goes on. It’s a perfect place for a sunrise elopement in Rocky Mountain National Park – and one of the best for wildlife as well, last time I was there I saw a family of 3 mink!
