Wedding at Sapphire Point and Breckenridge DistilleryWedding Details:

Sapphire Point Overlook was the perfect setting for this intimate wedding, with the rugged beauty of the Colorado mountains as the backdrop. The couple chose to keep their ceremony simple and heartfelt, with a family member officiating in a way that felt both meaningful and playful. Surrounded by sweeping views of the lake and distant peaks, their vows felt even more powerful in such an awe-inspiring place. After the “I do’s,” we explored the surrounding rocky terrain, capturing moments in the golden light—some in the grassy field where the wind danced through the bride’s hair, and others perched at the cliff’s edge where the shimmering blue lake stretched endlessly below.

We love photographing adventurous couples like this—people who are drawn to the beauty of the Colorado mountains and who want their wedding day to reflect that wild, untamed spirit. Mini weddings like this one are some of our favorites because they’re deeply personal yet full of incredible scenery. Sapphire Point is the kind of place where every step in any direction gives you a new breathtaking view, and that variety made for a gallery full of rich, natural textures—from rugged rock formations to open meadow spaces to sweeping lake vistas.

After the mountaintop moments, the celebration continued at the Breckenridge Distillery in the Barrel Room, a cozy and atmospheric space perfect for a small, close-knit reception. They have a lot of rooms there so there are abundant options. A single large table was set for family-style seating, creating a warm and connected atmosphere where guests could share stories, laugh, and toast together. The couple had thoughtfully written personalized notes for each guest, a touching gesture that made the evening feel even more intimate and memorable.

The night was filled with joyful moments, from the cake cutting to the couple’s choreographed first dance. The dimly lit barrel-lined walls and the scent of aged whiskey added a unique charm to the celebration. It was the perfect blend of adventure and intimacy—mountain views by day, and cozy celebration by night—and a beautiful reminder of why we adore capturing weddings for couples who embrace both the grandeur of nature and the closeness of family.
