Colorado Micro Weddings have come a long way… A lot of couples are choosing to elope in the mountains with their close friends and family. Afterwards, having a small venue planned to celebrate with a intimate reception. Another option is to find an air bnb or gorgeous balcony restaurant, and have the vow exchange and reception all at the same location.
As a Colorado wedding and elopement photographer – I absolutely love what I do. I believe the idea of a Colorado micro wedding is the most personal, and beautiful way to get married. Here is a guide I put together for your micro wedding venue and location list to help with the planning!
