Just weeks before Christmas, Bridget and Cameron made plans to elope in one of their favorite mountain towns during one of their favorite celebrations. Every December, the town of Breckenridge, Colorado hosts an annual dog parade, where Bernese Mountain Dogs are the stars but every dog is welcome. Bridget and Cameron thought this would be the perfect weekend to elope, so they booked a mountain house Airbnb in Breckenridge with their closest friends, family and fur babies to celebrate.
Getting Ready at the Breckenridge Airbnb
This intimate winter elopement had such personalized and amazing details. The dogs got a custom bracelets, the big pups got custom bow collars, and every guest got a goodie bag. The girls all had matching sweatsuits (cutest winter bridesmaids gifts I have seen in a while). Bridget chose an elegant gown with floral accents on the bodice and a simple updo. As requested, I got a few getting ready and detail shots, but the focus was going to be on the rest of the day.
Breckenridge Elopement Ceremony at the Airbnb
Bridget & Cameron didn’t even leave their Breckenridge Airbnb all day. The ceremony was held on the balcony overlooking the mountains with family and friends surrounding them. Their dogs got a front row to the ceremony and got to stand on their mom’s dress. The dogs getting muddy paw prints on her dress was EXACTLY what Bridget wanted out of her day. She wore custom dog socks from highlighting her dog who passed away, to commemorate her everlasting love. The couple said their vows surrounded by family, friends, dogs, and stunning Breckenridge mountain views.
Breckenridge Winter Elopement Celebration
After a short and sweet winter ceremony, everyone jumped into celebration mode! Everyone got a turn with the shot-ski, then gathered to toast the couple. I was lucky enough to be included by the mother of the bride – moments like these are exactly why I do what I do!

I took a moment to capture the doggos playing in the snow. Please enjoy the results.
