Tucked away in the Colorado Rocky Mountains at over 8,000 feet of elevation, Aspen was the perfect place for Shannon & Matt's intimate mountain elopement. After planning a larger wedding & having to change plans multiple times due to Covid, they decided to take control of the situation and have an intimate mountain elopement in Western Colorado, just the two of them.

After having a first look & exchanging gifts at their Airbnb near downtown Aspen, we made our way to the base of Aspen Mountain where we rode the gondola up to the sundeck before hitting the Aspen Mountain Nature Trail. After a short walk, we found the perfect location for Shannon & Matt to say their vows. Tucked away on the side of the mountain, there was a small grassy area with clear views of Hunter Peak in the distance, where we spent most of our time celebrating and documenting their wedding day.

With an incredible 180 view of the red, snowcapped mountains in the distance, Aspen Mountain is a beautiful & easily accessible location for couples looking to have a Colorado mountain top elopement. Between the incredible views of the sundeck and the fur trees along the Aspen Mountain Nature Trail, Aspen is an incredible Colorado town for mountain elopements & intimate weddings.
