Molly and Lee chose something beautifully simple for their wedding day: an intimate elopement high above El Paso, surrounded by just a few of the people closest to them.

At the time, we took the Wyler Aerial Tramway to the top of Ranger Peak, where they exchanged vows surrounded by incredible views of the mountains and desert below. It was quiet, personal, and a beautiful reminder that a wedding doesn’t need to be large to feel incredibly meaningful.

After their ceremony, we spent some time creating portraits and enjoying the landscape together. With no complicated timeline or large production around them, the focus stayed exactly where it belonged—on Molly and Lee, the people they loved, and the commitment they had just made.

A note about this location: The Wyler Aerial Tramway is no longer open to the public, so this specific location is not currently available for elopements or photography sessions. I’m sharing Molly and Lee’s wedding because it remains one of my favorite examples of how meaningful a small, intimate El Paso elopement can be.
