Few things are as romantic as an elopement in the great outdoors. Jordan and Marty cross-country skied to a beautiful location near Telluride, Colorado, for their wedding ceremony. Their pups, Maggie and Hazel, joined them on their snowy adventure. Vanessa and Chad from The Outlovers photographed this joyful event.
From Vanessa: “This was a super-fun, cross-country skiing elopement near Telluride, Colorado. Jordan and Marty brought their dogs. Maggie is Walker Coonhound, five years old, and Hazel, a rescue mix of Boxer/ Rhodesian Ridgeback, is seven years old. Hazel is from Foothills Animal Shelter. We love dogs and rejoice when couples include them in their elopement.
From Jordan: “Before we met, our dogs were our best companions through some of the tougher growth phases of life. Once we met, Maggie and Hazel became inseparable. They are still a big part of our lives, and I don’t think we will ever have such wonderful dogs again. We wanted them to be a part of our day because of how special they are to us. It was impossible to think of it without them!”
