Hybrid elopement with family at Sapphire Point

If you’re wondering what the heck a hybrid elopement even means, then you’re in the right place! We don’t know if it’s the best term to describe it, but it means having an elopement and also having a small wedding with family. This allows you to have the best of both worlds: read you vows and have an adventure privately and then later in the day meet up with family for a formal ceremony and reception!

Taylor and Cole did just that. They planned a whole day where they still had elements of a small wedding with their loved ones but read their vows privately at an epic location surrounded by mountains. They adventured around and had a photoshoot up there before heading over to meet their family at Sapphire Point which is an affordable, reservable location for wedding ceremonies of up to 30 people. They were able to hold a ceremony for their families, get photos with them and then all head over to their rental to celebrate with a mini reception!

What T & C thought of their day:

“Cannot say enough good things about Laura & Hugo, both professionally & personally they exceeded our expectations. They are 2 awesome people that are amazing at what they do. We had a destination wedding never having been where we went, and we left our trust in their hands regarding every bit of planning. We hoped that with their knowledge & experience they’d know the best places for photos, and they sure did! I highly recommend adding the video option to the package, it is a priceless memory that brings you right back to your special day. It was well worth it. I would recommend them to anyone, you will not be disappointed!”
