I've received several emails in the last couple of weeks from couples looking for someone to shoot their elopement. Being that I mostly shoot small, intimate weddings, elopements pretty much fall into my line of work.
Andrea and Johnny were one of the couples that contacted me. They had their ceremony at Red Rocks down in Denver and then drove up to Vail for the weekend. They stayed in their wedding garb for the drive and asked me to take photos of them in Vail as soon as they arrived. They were staying at The Arrabelle, so we kept the shoot to Lionshead, taking advantage of the mountains, the Gore Creek and the architecture of the Arrabelle.
Andrea had requested a photo with the sunset in the background. Unfortunately, the sun is setting so early at the moment that we decided it probably wouldn't work, particularly with the tall buildings in Lionshead blocking the light. As we were walking down to the creek, I found a tiny sliver of light behind Chair 8 and we were able to make it work!
