We consider Sawmill Reservoir a hidden gem in the town of Breckenridge. Hidden just below the ski resort, but close enough to be a 5 minute drive from most any Breckenridge Wedding Venue, Sawmill Reservoir gives you the feeling of being away from the hustle-bustle of downtown Breck without a 4×4 adventure. There are several trails around the reservoir that provide access to fields of wildflowers and coves of lodge-pole pine trees. To the southwest, you can see the Tenmile Range as well as some of the ski runs and lifts.
For being so closely located to town, Sawmill is a go-to location for wedding photos or engagement sessions near Breckenridge.
Trent & Stacy Gillespie are a husband & wife photography team who specialize in artistically documenting weddings through beautiful and bold photographs. Located in Colorado, they're available for local & destination weddings.
Good afternoon!
My fiancé and I are considering utilizing Sawmill Reservoir as our elopement site this upcoming fall, would you be able to tell me if you need a reservation to utilize this site?
Thanks in advance.
We aren’t sure to be honest. I would reach out to Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center – Scott Griffith Lodge. They have a facility close by and might direct you in the right direction.
