We are Scott & Kristine, husband and wife alternative wedding photographers behind Blue Elephant Photography. We are based in Oklahoma with our furry boy Fuji. We’re big fans of love, travel, and adventures which takes us to Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas, Washington and across the world. We are passionate about documenting genuine and uninhibited love between two people because telling their story matters.
David and Briana are a beautiful couple inside and out. You can tell that they have big dreams, they stay focused, but they also aren’t afraid of adventure. They are just our kind of couple. We first met David and Briana for their engagement session and to plan out their Oklahoma wedding. As the day approached we got a message saying things had changed and asked if we would be up for photographing their elopement in Aspen, Colorado. Heck Yeah! The cabin they stayed in was calm and quiet as they got ready for the special day. The ceremony was held on a lawn out back in view of the surrounding forests and mountains. They included just four guests {their parents} and the minister. The wide open landscape was awe-inspiring while the extremely short guest list kept the ceremony personal and intimate. The sun shined brightly over the mountains basking the couple in a golden glow as if the universe was giving its blessing. Directly afterwards, we travelled to the nearby Maroon Bells Amphitheater to capture their first newlywed moments together against the painting-like Colorado landscape. David looked dapper and Briana created a timeless dress by adding long sleeves of extra lace while keeping the back open. She looked radiant and elegant against the majestic scenery. There are no words for how beautiful the place was. It was a once in a lifetime experience for a once in a lifetime moment.
Congrats David & Briana! What an adventure! You are two wonderful human beings and your family is fantastic! We hope to see you around sometime, maybe another trip! Friends, thank you all for stopping by and make sure to hit ‘Like’ or leave some Love {aka comments}. ♥
