Pagosa Springs Elopement by Nat Moore Photography
M&M’s Elopement in Pagosa Springs | South San Juan Mountain Elopement Photography
M&M wanted a relaxing and laid back day that included their family and some time for a private adventure. Pagosa Springs is a great basecamp for eloping couples who enjoy slow pace mountain town life. They found a rental home that fit all their needs and gave them permission to have a little ceremony with 6 guests on the deck. It was the perfect location with access to so many beautiful places nearby but not far from town. It was nearing the end of September and colors were starting to turn.
After their ceremony & toasts at the house, we explored Wolf Creek Pass and saw Treasure Falls. Drove down a dirt road or two to find the perfect spot to say their vows with a view and privacy.
Hairapist Trish came to the home to do everyone’s hair and M’s best friend did their makeup.
