A Mountain Destination Wedding in Breckenridge
This is a super sweet mountain wedding from Susannah Storch Photography. The couple is from Chicago, but on a trip to Breckenridge years earlier, they had discussed how one day they wanted to be in Breck with all of their loved ones. This dream came true last July. The couple put together a lot of details playing on their newly shared last name of “key.”

An April Wedding in Vail
From the event planner, Stacy Horn of JA Special Events: Mountain weather can be unpredictable in April, but Vail locals Ashley and Mark, completely embraced the gently falling snow that softened their wedding day. Brinton Studios beautifully captured the romance of that first dance on the Donovan Pavilion patio surrounded by friends, family, baby’s breath, and shimmering bubbles, the festive bridal party serenade from a green Turtle Bus, the sacred moments of a meaningful ceremony at Vail Chapel, and hand-crafted details like the pretzel ski poles dipped in chocolate by Ashley’s mom, the escort cards displayed in wine corks on wine-box cheeseboards crafted by Mark, and the aspen tree masterpiece cake by Mountain Flour. A gourmet mac and cheese station from Footers Catering warmed guests up for an evening of fun and dancing.

A Fall Wedding in Jackson Hole
The gleaming colors of fall set the tone for Alexander and Charlotte’s mountain wedding in Jackson Hole. Although a rainy day, friends and family gathered from near and far to wish these two a happy life together. Golden-dipped feathers glittered above the ceremony and the dance floor, delicate succulents dotted the tables, and Charlotte’s stunning gown sparkled in the soft autumn light. A celebration of love and family in such a beautiful place makes for a day these two are sure to never forget.

A Destination Wedding in Park City
From the bride, Amelia: For us, this was a destination wedding, but it was also a destination wedding for all of our guests, most of whom had never even visited Utah before. That being said, we wanted our wedding to feel like not only celebrating our love, but also be an experience for everyone. A chance to really get to fall in love with the mountains, much the same that we had. Having delicious food and drink offerings was also really important to us, and the Canyons truly practice the farm-to-table concept that we love.
We had a full Catholic mass for our ceremony at St. Mary’s Old Town Chapel.
Our guests took a private gondola from the base of the mountain, while sipping champagne, up to 8,000 feet. All while traveling through the peaks of the mountains to get to the reception.
We had our dinner under a tent and then had bistro lights hung in the middle of the grassy-space so that we could dance the night away under the stars in the mountains.
Looking back, not only was the setting a dream, but getting to have our family and the best of friends was one of the most powerful feelings I am sure we will ever experience.

A Simple, Relaxed & Organic Wedding at Deer Valley Resort
From the bride, Ingrid: We always dreamed of a wedding in the outdoors in a majestic setting. We wanted the overall look to be simple, modern, organic, elegant and relaxed. We wanted our wedding colors to match the surroundings, the aspens leaves were the inspiration for the green, the mountain lodge for the brown and my dress for the ivory.
Deer Valley means a lot to us since my husband worked there as a ski instructor and I learned how to ski on the slopes of Deer Valley. We chose the Silver Lake Lodge the first day we went looking for venues. We fell in love with the lodge and the surroundings!
We did photos before the ceremony and it was one of the best decisions we made since we didn’t miss a minute of the reception and we got one of my favorite pictures at the top of the mountain in the chairlift.
My favorite moment of the day was walking down the aisle after we got married, it was magical!
We danced a choreographed Tango as our first dance.
My advice: Invest in a good dance floor! Don’t buy expensive shoes, they ‘ll get ruined. Plan the photos you want to take before hand. Stick to the timelines and try to get a good rest the night before.

A Winter Wedding in the Rocky Mountains
On a beautiful Colorado blue sky day, these high school sweet hearts said “I do” at one of our favorite mountain venues, Devil’s Thumb Ranch. A nature-inspired color palette of greens and creams with pops of navy blue perfectly complemented the snow covered landscape. An intimate ceremony overlooking the Continental Divide followed by a cozy reception inside the beautiful Board Axe Barn was perfectly captured by Brinton Studios.

Bohemian Wedding Inspiration in the Land of Enchantment
Set amongst the trees in a wildflower field at the foot of the mountains, Maura Jane Photography and Events by Emily Kay came together to create a breathtaking bohemian inspired photo shoot. Their inspiration came from the earthiness of the location and the desire to showcase bright colors.
Vibrant greens, yellows and shades of cranberry created the perfect color palette for this lighthearted romance.
Passion Floral Design Studio matched the decor perfectly bringing in unique blooms and sunflowers that complimented the wildflowers that scattered the forest floor.
Just through the edge of the woods was a large field on a cliff overlooking the New Mexico sky. New Mexico, also known as the Land of Enchantment, created a picturesque backdrop with rain falling off in the distance.
