Elopement at San Sophia Overlook in Telluride, Colorado

After postponing their wedding twice, Monique and Eric decided to elope in Telluride with 12 guests from Texas. Their elegant micro wedding was in early October, during peak fall colors in the San Juan Mountains! The famous San Sophia Overlook at Telluride Ski Resort was the perfect setting for their ceremony, and riding the gondola to your wedding is so unique. Afterward, we took an adventure around Telluride to some epic photography locations! The fall colors in western Colorado CANNOT be beat!

Monique’s stunning ball gown was from Blue Bridal Austin, and her veil was made by Twigs and Honey. Her hair was styled by Kylie Borchers at Moxie Loft salon, and beautiful makeup was by Emily Brafford Makeup (both local to Telluride). The ceremony flowers and bridal bouquet were by Monique’s maid of honor, who owns Botanist and the Bees in Phoenix, AZ. Ceremony coordination via TelSki was by Telluride Presents, and Stephanie Warner was their officiant.
