Kirstyn and Frank came all the way from Florida for their snowboarding and skiing elopement in Vail, Colorado. These two are high school sweethearts and have been together for 13 years. They learned how to ski and snowboard together and it’s something they love doing as a couple. They knew they didn’t want a big traditional wedding- so they decided to elope in Vail and incorporate their shared love of skiing and snowboarding into their day.
Snowboarding & Skiing Elopement in Vail Colorado
On their wedding day, Kirstyn and Frank got ready at their ski-in-ski-out hotel and then hit the slopes. First, they skied and snowboarded two runs together, and then met their family at the top of Vail mountain for their wedding ceremony.
The views for their Vail ski elopement ceremony were absolutely spectacular! It was a warm sunny day, so between the mountain views and the weather, it couldn’t have been more perfect!
Vail Ski Elopement
After their ceremony, Kirstyn’s dad and stepmother joined her and Frank for their last run of the day! As they skied down into the base area, they were greeted by a small crowd cheering for them. People at the base and at surrounding patios in Vail Village were in awe watching them ski down the mountain in their wedding attire! Next, they popped off their skis and snowboard, and met up with their family for slopeside Après-Ski drinks to celebrate!
It was so wonderful to be able to capture Kirstyn and Frank’s Vail elopement and spend the afternoon skiing with them! Throughout the day, anytime other skiers saw the bride and groom they cheered and wished them congratulations! It was super sweet!
