Robin + Zach’s summer hiking elopement in Breckenridge, Colorado was nothing short of breathtaking. It was an adventure, a celebration of their love, and an unforgettable moment in time that perfectly captured their connection to each other and the world around them.
The day began with Robin + Zach waking up at 2am, throwing their dogs into their Rivian truck that they had road-tripped to Colorado in, and preparing to hike up over 1000ft straight up the side of the mountain in time for sunrise. Not only were they excited to tackle this difficult hike in order to get the view of their dreams, they were also hiking at 12,000ft altitude, which is no small feat. But that’s exactly what they wanted—an epic adventure that would be uniquely their own.
The Vow:
Robin + Zach chose to say their vows at Loveland Pass, Colorado, because they love hiking together. Zach often does trail running, and they are both passionate about nature and love the mountains. They knew that they wanted to celebrate their elopement somewhere that truly felt like them, and they were thrilled when they stumbled upon this location. The sweeping views and the solitude of the mountains made Loveland Pass the perfect place to exchange their vows. The morning was crisp and the air fresh, with only the sounds of nature around them as they stood on top of the world, ready to commit their hearts to each other.
Celebration Highlights:
After saying their vows, Robin + Zach’s celebration continued as they made their way to the top of the mountain. Once they reached the summit, they laid out a blanket, poured themselves some coffee that they had carried with them on the hike, and cuddled as they watched the sun peek up over the horizon. The golden light of the early morning bathed the mountains in warmth, and the quiet moment of connection between the two of them was as intimate as it was powerful.
Their Loveland Pass elopement was made even more special by their two dogs, who were by their side every step of the way. The couple couldn’t imagine celebrating any other way. Both dogs enjoy hiking, though one tends to pull them up the mountain while the other would rather be carried. With these two adorable companions in tow, it was clear that Robin + Zach’s elopement was about more than just the two of them—it was about family, adventure, and creating memories together.
After celebrating their elopement on the mountaintop, Robin + Zach decided to hike back down the mountain in their wedding attire! This was truly an impressive feat, showing just how committed they are to living life to the fullest, even when the trail gets tough.
