An Intimate Elopement at Crystal Creek Reservoir on Pikes Peak Highway



Crystal Creek Reservoir is one of those locations that does not need much to feel special. The lake reflects the surrounding mountains, the light shifts softly throughout the day, and the entire area feels peaceful and grounding. Lucie and Erick chose this spot because it allowed them to focus on what mattered most without feeling overwhelmed.


We took our time walking along the shoreline, pausing for quiet moments and letting the scenery guide the experience. The simplicity of the location paired beautifully with the emotion of the day, making their elopement feel relaxed and intentional.



From Engagement Session to Elopement Day



Before their elopement, I also had the chance to photograph Lucie and Erick’s engagement session at Garden of the Gods. That session was full of laughter, movement, and connection, and it was incredible to see how naturally their story continued into their wedding day.
