Lucinda and Alex’s Colorado destination wedding took place on their family land in Durango’s Florida River valley, bringing family and friends, new and old together to blend clans and make lasting memories.

There were moments of everything at L&A’s celebration… quiet solitude, a river running through it, bird song, breeze through the trees and of course laughter and joy. There was jubilant clapping, crying - all forms of celebration as it should be. There was the sound of the Persian Sofreh ceremony rubbing of sugar cones blessing them, the words of Mary Oliver spoken celebrating all the beautiful complexity of loving and living. There was so much joy, elation and embracing all that is of coming together and joining families and histories. And then there was very much a raucous dance party and Persian throw down on the dance floor.

It was a true honor to be a part of it all and witness this beauty, this humbling magic of genuine love.

M&S's midsummer wedding could only be described as a dreamy epic mountain soirée. Their day felt like a soft earthly poem, unfurling into magic.

Soft, simple and airy interludes
Suspended in time
Stretched out, drenched in all the magic
That happens on a wedding day into dusk… into night
a crescendo that crests, rolls and breaks
around the table and onto the dance floor

Kiana & Alberto gathered their family and friends in the heart of the San Juan Mountains to wed on a mountainside outside of Silverton, just over the mountain from Telluride, Colorado. Most of their guests had never been to Colorado, let alone in the middle of the mountains, so K&A’s wedding was rather an experiential feat hiking the nearest and dearest into the mountains for a very natural and intimate wedding ceremony. literally on a mountainside.

Reception followed at the historically chic and romantic Wyman Hotel in downtown in the mining town of Silverton, Colorado.

K&A infused their wedding day with a timeless romantic feel and added old world European and Tuscan touches that transcended the constraints of a location.

K&W’s wedding weekend at Dunton Hot Springs in late September was a dreamy cinematic experience to say the least. It was also a western adventure and a small mini musical festival in a way.

Guests settled into a “Welcome to the West” farm to table dinner at Dunton River Camp for the first night with bluegrass, family style seasonal BBQ and a dance party around a bonfire.

The second night was a smoky jazz-inspired evening of more contemporary ambiance - inspired by the art scene of NYC mixed with the historic wild west of Dunton and illuminated the amazing art collection hanging in the Saloon.

The wedding day was the most beautiful late September day in the mountains. Everyone started the day with yoga and meditation followed by soaking in the natural hot springs… coasting into the most beautiful outdoor ceremony in Mother Nature.

The party was held in a collection of Norwegian style tents from Under the Sky Event Rentals - totally transformed into a whimsical and ethereal Moroccan style lounge and dinner experience.

The Dart Collective’s Blue Roses band opened the dancing and the DJ duo Bob Moses closed out the evening, I mean morning the next day.

W&L hosted a beautiful celebration of love along the Roaring Fork River in Aspen, Colorado. They wanted their destination wedding to feel more like a relaxed and natural gathering similar to the retreat feeling they cherished coming to Aspen to spend slower moments in nature with loved ones. The celebration was centered around intentional moments, details and important aspects rooted in family, nature and sharing a cozy dinner together. Everything was sourced locally and sustainably for W&L’s intimate wedding.

All the most romantic touches for this wedding that felt like a whimsical rêverie in a dreamy French Château in Southern France.

This styled shoot captured a timeless style and design that could transcend and transport one to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Every aspect inspired by a romantic touch - the effervescent romantic feeling of whimsy, poetry found in all the small details and the light airiness of a natural, inherent elegance found in decadently playful textures and a sensual palette.

Drawing inspiration from favorite films and novels, Period Pieces, the Belle Époque era, and romantics of the past, but mostly it was the beautiful French Château estate that set the scene and tone for this beautifully romantic shoot.

C&D's July wedding at Dunton Hot Springs was everything a magical mountain wedding Colorado can be. Fields filled with daisies swaying in the breeze, lush florals lining a colorful carpeted aisle to the most beautiful chapel in nature. The blessing sounds of nature all around - a waterfall, rivers and bird song and of course joyous laughter resounding through this Dolores River valley in the San Juan Mountains.

With a wedding at Dunton Hot Springs - it is more than just a gorgeous wedding... it is a blissful and magical three day weekend retreat in nature with your nearest and dearest.

A&D's wedding day was a fun and vibrant affair that brought some of their recent travels and love for island life in New Zealand to the mountains. Citrus and bold florals conveyed some of their recent adventures in NZ and lent a personal touch of their fun, effervescent personalities and style.
