Sapphire Point Overlook - Engagement photo location near Dillon

Home / Engagement Locations / Colorado / Sapphire Point Overlook

Sapphire Point Overlook offers 360 degree views of all the surrounding mountain ranges and Dillon Reservoir.

Centrally located near Dillon, Keystone, Frisco and Breckenridge along Swan Mountain Road this popular destination provides memorable views of the area.

Hiking to the top is where you’ll find the best views as well as a log teepee. Mostly a day-use spot for recreational use, you can also rent this space in two-hour blocks for private gatherings like elopements and small wedding ceremonies.

Weekends can be busy with weddings and tourists so I typically only choose this location on weekdays.

“Justin ran the show, made us all feel at ease, and was such a good communicator. When you hire Justin you’re hiring a hell of a lot more than a photographer.”

pricing info

Real weddings don’t fit neatly into four, six or even eight hour packages. Our collections don’t require you to know your timeline months before your wedding.

As a a documentary photographer, I love moments. And it turns out a lot of moments happen before most photographers arrive or after they leave. That’s why all of our collections include up to 10 hours!

We’ll work together to make sure I’m there for all the great moments you expect, and the ones you don’t. You’ll never have to worry about planning your day around the photographer’s schedule.

Wedding collections include:
– full day coverage with two photographers
– online image gallery for viewing and downloading
– full resolution digital images with print release
– carefully crafted timeline and quick turnaround
Fill out the form on the right to check our availability and then we’ll reach out about detailed pricing.
