Elopement weddings are one of my favorites to shoot, and this elopement wedding near Cloudcroft, New Mexico was no exception. The bride and groom chose a simple location and only had a handful of family and friends present during their ceremony — making for a beautiful and intimate setting.

As with any outdoor session, this came with a few challenges like a threatening thunderstorm, dropping temperatures and the odd snow flake blowing by, but in the end it turned out to be beautiful day for the two of them.
