It was an incredible and heartfelt day for Kiersten and Matt's Lake Dillon elopement on film under the changing aspens.
Lake Dillon is a mountain lake between Dillon Colorado and Frisco Colorado. It is clearly visible from interstate 70 heading down from the Eisenhour tunnel. This was a perfect summer night with the lake becoming calm right at the time of sunset. We love Breckenridge Colorado but this is the first time I was able to get a picture of Lake Dillon and the gorgeous sunsets of the Rocky Mountains. PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING High quality satin finish paper prints: Typically allow 5 business days for printing, 5 business days for shipping. Ready-to-Hang Canvas, Acrylic or Metal: 7 days for printing and 7-10 for shipping. LARGE CANVAS, ACRYLIC OR METAL (i.e 40x60 and up) allow for 3-5 extra days for packaging. MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS There are 4 ways to produce my landscape scenic images…… prints, canvas, acrylic and metal. 1) Photo paper prints on high quality satin finish professional printing stock. Though the least expensive, these prints are sharp, vivid and rich in color which sets them apart from a casual photo print you may be used to. This option is available in the following sizes: 8x10 8x12 11x14 12x18 16x20 16x24 20x30 24x36 WIDE – PANORAMIC PRINTS IN THESE SIZES 12x24 15x30 18x36 20x40 24x48 2) Ready to hang Canvas is a popular format. They are ready hang right out of the box with zero assembly required. Very convenient. Canvas prints is a well- known option that is affordable yet elegant. Thick wooden stretcher-bars give it shape in the same way that many oil paintings are displayed and assembled. Sizes listed next to each image (use the pull down menu (“Select a Finish"). Some of my larger canvas images can also be produced with multiple panels (typically called split panels). The most common is a 3 panel option. In most cases, I am also able to offer a 5 panel design in a staggered design. I call these "stair step" split panels and if this particular picture is available in this design, I will display it on this Etsy page. Contact me directly about any questions related to Split Panel Canvas options or any special size options not listed in the pull down menu. 3) The third option is even more vivid and brilliant. Acrylic and Metal prints both are similar in look. Both surfaces create an elegant wall décor that shines with high end, exclusively rich colors. Both feature a glossy coating and rounded corners and are U/V resistant. They look very similar however acrylic, in my opinion, tends to work better in a room with a lot of natural window light because there is less glare when comparing to metal. Both are easy and ready to hang with stunning brilliant color!

My name is Chris. I'm a travel and landscape photo artist. I took this image in Fall 2023 on Lake Dillon in Colorado at 8:45AM. Two days day prior, I had to say goodbye to my sweet pup Kaya after 15 years of companionship. As a resident of Colorado for almost 30 years, many of my outdoor adventures have been in Summit County and around Lake Dillon so it felt appropriate to return there to take in the fall beauty, reflect on my life with Kaya, and soothe my heavy heart. I woke just before sunrise, downed a cup of coffee, and made my way to the lake to watch and capture the ever-morphing light, colors and reflections of the sky, lake and peaks and soothe my soul. After snapping some photos from the Dillon Dam road, I made my way over to Frisco and drove up Swan Mountain Road to get a vantage point from Sapphire Point. Early morning over Lake Dillon in Colorado creates a peaceful scene. The still surface of the lake reflects the pastel shades of the morning sky, while Mt. Royal stands as a stately backdrop. This photo, taken from Sapphire Point, depicts the quiet beauty of nature's elements together. The smooth blue waters of Lake Dillon merge sky and earth almost seamlessly, reflecting the delicate colors of sunrise and enhancing the scene's tranquility. This early morning snapshot captures a moment of calm, highlighting the beauty of nature’s daily rhythms. From the elevated position at Sapphire Point, there's a panoramic view of this beautiful landscape, inviting viewers to enjoy the serene atmosphere and appreciate the marvels of nature. The dynamic between Lake Dillon and Mt. Royal demonstrates the calmness found in natural vistas. It reminds us of the simple peace that can be found in the natural world, promoting a better connection with our surroundings. I hope you enjoy it!
