Crested Butte Summer Elopement

When Gabrielle and Emily first inquired with us for their elopement they knew they didn’t want something traditional. They love to travel and explore new places together and that’s exactly what they did coming to Colorado for the first time from the east coast where they would get to experience several other firsts on their elopement day. Gabrielle and Emily’s elopement day started off in their cute airbnb, the airbnb had a beautiful view of the mountains and a cozy feel while they both helped each other get ready. After getting ready they climbed in their jeep for their another first time experience as we off-road to a beautiful lake for their ceremony! The drive was dusty, bumpy and had a few shelf roads on the way up but Gabrielle handled it like a boss. They ended the day with a picnic reading letters from family and friends and sharing their first dance in the rain.

Heres what Gabrielle and Emily had to say about their day

“It is with immense gratitude to be writing this review about Laura and Hugo (Together We Roam). These are not simply people who show up to take pictures on your special day, these are two people who take the time to get to know you, support you with every detail of your elopement, and then top it all off by taking the most beautiful pictures/videos.

Deciding to elope can be difficult depending on your situation. For us, we knew we wanted to elope in Colorado, but we had never been there before; so we had no idea where to even start. By choosing to work with Laura and Hugo, they completely eliminated any challenge. They got to know us, listened to us, and provided us with detailed options about each area to possibly choose from. Not only did they provide us with various locations for the ceremony, but they also gave us recommendations for local vendors. Laura and Hugo made everything as easy and stress free as possible.

Coming from two laid back people who are not ones to typically take pictures of ourselves or enjoy being the center of attention (hence elopement), Laura and Hugo made us feel extremely comfortable with the process. They allowed us to really enjoy our elopement in the way we wanted to, all while capturing breathtaking pictures along the way. Feeling comfortable was one of the greatest highlights of working with Laura and Hugo, so much so that they now feel like lifelong friends.

Eloping was truly the best decision we ever made, and we would not have had the same experience without Laura and Hugo. They deserve every ounce of credit for making our day unforgettable. You won’t regret hiring Together We Roam.”
