This Colorado Elopement Shoot Called For Furry Hats, Backpacks, and an Adorable Donkey

The merge of fall and winter is such a beautiful time, and Brooke Welch of BW Photography, as well as Heavenly Days Events, saw this change in season as the perfect scope for a styled Western elopement. Taken in Steamboat Springs, CO, the adventurous and intimate shoot called for warm hats, hiking gear, a bouquet of flowers, formalwear, and even a donkey tag-along! With royal blue as their elopement theme, you could find the pop of color in almost everything — from the bride's bouquet, to the groom's collared shirt, to even their adorable donkey sidekick! The mountainous snowy backdrop blended with the remaining autumn leaves splendidly, and the couple's gorgeous elopement and mountaintop celebration picnic could not have been more breathtaking. Ahead, see all of the pictures from this special day.
