Rain couldn’t stop these two from sharing their love outdoors in the aspens of the San Juan Mountains in July. Zavannah and John’s mountain wedding was blessed by the powers above with a midsummer rain that just made everything that much more magical and memorable.

The wedding of #Toddsquared was simply AMAZING! No rain, hail or thunder would stand in their way of saying “I Do”in the mountains surrounded by the most wonderful tribe of family and friends. After getting half way through the ceremony and drenched, we made a mad dash to the lobby of the Silverpick to pick up where we left off. Rain on your wedding is a blessing, especially in July in SW Colorado following one of the biggest local fires that was the #416 fire and an epic draught. Mother Nature and the heavens showed Todd B. and Todd C. with extra love on their wedding day.

Adena and Yedida threw a beautiful celebration at Ridgeview Events Center with La Plata mountains as a spectacular backdrop. There were so many wonderful elements symbolizing their story and love… amazing food, a violinist friend playing their processional, personalized river rocks escorting their guests to their seats, decorations made by Didi’s sister and a lovely dovetailed Jewish ceremony. The best part were all the friends and family who traveled from all over the country to share in this joyous day with them!

Amy & Doug’s rustic black tie wedding was a beautiful celebration at Riverbend Ranch… and a magical feat in that their wedding was moved from the originally planned Glacier Club 1 day before their wedding due to the 416 fire! Their vendor team was amazing and the Glacier Club worked hard to make their dreams come true at Riverbend Ranch.

Bride, McCarson Jones of Red Scarf Shots, had a beautiful vision for her ceremony and celebration marrying her love Brad Tafoya on a crisp November day with a pretty brunch following their ceremony in the Secret Garden at The Rochester Hotel.

Blending together her favorite aesthetics of French-inspired style (her beloved city Paris) and all things fine, feminine and vintage, we set up a scene to bring all their ideas together.

Meredith and Fred's late September wedding was an elegant affair that began with classical music being played in the great hall of the Glacier Clubhouse. A simple, yet dramatic, ceremony followed on the tee-box with the backdrop of the Animas Valley. 

This wedding had a lot of wonderful elements, but the gorgeous florals by April's Garden paired with the venue space may have been the most special touch to make this celebration amazing!

Kolby and Travis's midsummer mountain luxe wedding was a blend of rustic elegance and elegant chic styles.

The couple held their ceremony at St. Marks Church as it was really important to them to have an extremely traditional ceremony with meaningful, spiritual elements to share with family and friends.

The afterparty was held at a beautiful private residence in the Animas Valley that boasted of big views of Hermosa Valley and the San Juan Mountains - perfect for a fun dinner and dance party in a big white tent! 

Special touches... each table had their own individual cakes for dessert and the mother of the bride arranged a special game for guests with the closest anniversary date to cut the cake and take the cake knife and server home with them. We also had a pallet wall built as the backdrop for the head table, to add texture and a rustic touch.
