Jeeping Elopement in Ouray

Jinie and Nick met Denver during the pandemic shortly after Jinie had moved to Denver. They eventually moved in together after having made it through 2020, and their love continued to grow for each other in the following years until they finally decided it was time to tie the knot. They wanted something intimate, but still wanted to make the most of the day and do something epic, so they decided they would rent a Jeep and drive up a bumpy trail until they reached a secret blue alpine lake deep in the wilderness. They each changed on opposite sides of the Jeep so as not to see each other, then did a first look before saying their vows. After a lot of tears, smashing glass, and celebrating, we headed up the trail a bit further to another secret alpine lake and wildflower meadow.
