When Noelia and Angel were searching for the perfect spot for their engagement photos, we suggested one of our all-time favorite places: Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. After seeing some of the other elopements and engagement sessions we’d captured there, they were all in — and loved it so much, they ended up switching their wedding location to this stunning red rock landscape too.

Their Garden of the Gods elopement was intimate and full of heartfelt moments. Noelia and Angel shared a sweet first look before the ceremony, and her brother walked her down the aisle to say “I do” under that golden Colorado light. We stuck around afterward for sunset portraits, then joined them for a cozy reception at a nearby Airbnb. Don’t miss the cake — definitely one of the most creative we’ve ever photographed!
