On a misty early fall day, Aaron and Maribeth exchanged vows amidst the rustic charm of the Dellwood Barn. The air was tinged with anticipation, as a gentle fog ethereally draped the landscape.

The couple chose a first look moment before the ceremony. This first look was a great testament to the way it can establish comfort and safety, in being present with each other. It was such an emotional release for this couple, that paved the way for a joy filled day.

It was still dark when I left my room to meet Pauline & Darrin at the Appenzel Inn. As the sun began to rise, we headed into Rocky Mountain National Park, where we spontaneously found a field hosting a lovely sunrise view. Pauline & Darrin exchanged private vows, and signed their marriage license. Colorado is a great host for eloping, as there is not a requirement for a witness signature. What a treat for the adventurers among us!
