Bear Lake Winter Elopement | Carly & Matt
We use our momentum to sweep us up the windy hills during Carly and Matt’s Bear Lake winter elopement. Soon, it seems like we nearly drive to the top of the world with the bomb cyclone exploding around us, particularly because of how intimate the park is.
Amazingly, we shuffle through the aftermath of the blizzard. And the afternoon proves to be calm and still! Moreover, nearly all of Rocky Mountain National Park is vacant. Bear Lake is as private as we have ever seen it. Matt stands upon the frozen waters awaiting his bride, Carly. Soon, they speak their vows to one another and promise each other forever at the snowy altar on the border of the lake. Â
Matt’s love is a snowball rolling down an infinite slope. His affection and attention is perpetually growing for Carly. These gorgeous vows are accompanied by sweet, sweet songs from our unexpected guest – a bright and beautiful bluejay who serenades us and enchants the moment! Â
Finally, our portraits after the ceremony are aided by intermittent snowfall and glorious clouds. The entire Bear Lake winter elopement is wrapped in love and harmony. Matt and Carly, thank you so much for making us a part of your sweet day!  We wish you the love we felt being a part of your ceremony for ever and ever!
