Carson Pass, California — Every adventure-seeking couple needs to see this family-oriented Silver Lake elopement in California! Everything about this elopement was intentional and based around family, from Carmen’s sister doing her hair to their intimate celebration with stew and stogies following their lakeside ceremony. They included 19 members of their family to witness their first look at the altar. They then exchanged vows with Carmen’s brother-in-law as officiant. After their short ceremony, Carmen and Keith took photos with Keith’s cherry red Vintage F100 Ford Ranger.

Making Your Elopement True to You

After a short celebration with their family, Carmen and Keith departed the cabin for an amazing little resort in Hope Valley. Following their arrival, they shared a champagne toast before taking sunset photos in front of the snow-capped mountains. Then they ended the night with astrophotography along the banks of Caples Lake. This is a great example of inspiration to couples looking to have a budget-friendly, intimate elopement. You don’t have to go all-out to have a gorgeous and intimate wedding day. These two made their day, their way!
