Breckenridge Boreas Pass wedding | Heidi & Frank

Frank and Heidi live in Minnesota’s Twin Cities and wanted a change of scenery for their special day and decided to have a Breckenridge Boreas Pass wedding with all their family and friends. Can you blame them?

As a Colorado native I’m completely aware of how beautiful the state is but I hadn’t experienced the top of Boreas Pass until I Trent asked me to help document their wedding day. After the ceremony downtown we ventured up the dirt road on Boreas Pass despite the cold, windy conditions in search of the perfect Colorado backdrop. Heidi’s face lit up when we asked if she would be willing to climb on top of the deserted box car at the top of the mountain. Shortly after they climbed up there the clouds parted and the sun showed its face in true Colorado fashion.

On our way down the mountain we found a screaming pocket of light shining on some of the final fall color of the season.

  • Fall Engagement in Breckenridge | Diana & Eric

    Eric and Diana recently moved to Colorado from the east coast. For their fall engagement in Breckenridge I took them to one of the best locations for fall colors photos in all of Summit County, Boreas Pass. We enjoyed a beer in town before exploring all of the colorful aspen trees that line Boreas Pass Road. We chased the sun, unsuccessfully, twice up the mountain at the summit of the pass. I’m pretty sure all three of us are still catching our breath. Thankfully the views make up for the lack of oxygen at that altitude. Watching the sun set over the Tenmile Range is just one of the reasons that I love Breckenridge and Boreas Pass for engagement photos. They’re getting married at one…

  • Fall Frisco Engagement | Julia & Micah

    In a rare showing, Julia and Micah’s fall Frisco engagement featured gorgeous fall colors and a snowy winter wonderland atop Shrine Pass. They’re both in grad school in Nashville and traveled out to Colorado for their session so I’m glad that the weather worked out. It’s not often that a session has two completely different feels but theirs definitely did. We met up in Frisco before venturing over to a few locations that had the last remaining golden aspen trees in the area. Our next stop required all wheel drive so they hopped in my car for the journey up Shrine Pass near Vail. The area was recently blanketed by the first major snow of the season but that didn’t stop them from embracing the elements….
