After Tyler & Landon’s huge blowout celebration at the end of September, we switched gears for October, starting with Jovanka & Alex’s intimate Sunrise Amphitheater wedding in Boulder. Jovanka is a bride after my own heart, starting wedding planning two years in advance. When she first reached out, the wedding she and Alex were thinking…
As anyone who lives in a travel destination knows, there’s the version of your town that the tourists see. And then there’s the real version that only the locals and a select few of their favorite people get to experience. Carrie and Conrad’s Crested Butte wedding weekend was the latter. We started our local’s tour…
We don’t walk into every wedding and immediately feel like we’re hanging out with friends. But at Heather and Chris’s Boulders wedding, we did! From my very first conversation with Heather to their flower-filled engagement session to the very end of the wedding reception, it felt like we had known this couple for a lifetime….
I’m not a fan of trends in general. They become outdated just as quickly as they show up. But post-pandemic, we’ve been seeing a new trend pop up: the epic wedding weekend. If this trend means that more couples get to celebrate the way Jen and Ross did at their Grand Lake Lodge wedding, I’m…
Michelle and Jamie fell in love in one of the most inhospitable places in the world. They’ve been through more in the past few years than most couples endure in a lifetime. But their determination to meet life head on and find joy wherever they are is worthy of emulation. Including during their Boulders Black…
At this point, it’s kind of a cliché to talk about how important being a good team is to marriage. But I’m going to anyway, because Sara and Santana were one of the best examples I’ve ever seen of this, starting even before their spring wedding at Della Terra! From my very first phone call,…
Weather in the Rockies can be confusing, even to those of us who have lived here for a while. Take Eva and Joe’s spring wedding at the Boulders, for example. The week leading up to their wedding had sunny and warm weather. But the day of the wedding called for several inches of snow. Luckily,…
For the third year in a row, Jesse and I had the honor of spending New Year’s Eve celebrating the beginning of a marriage in a breathtaking location (see 2021 and 2022). This year’s festivities took us to Vail for Melissa and Ben’s Donovan Pavilion wedding. In years’ past, we’ve tried out allllll the New…
Ashley and Eric’s Della Terra wedding in Estes Park wrapped up the bulk of our wedding season, which got me thinking a lot about weddings. And the conclusion I came to is that weddings and quests have a lot in common. They’re both the beginning of a new adventure. But it’s important to keep in…
The Hotel Colorado is known for its many famous guests. From Teddy Roosevelt, who stayed often enough that it became known as the “White House of the West,” to the unsinkable Molly Brown, to notorious gangster Al Capone. At the beginning of this month, it added Kristen and David and their wedding guests to the…
Weddings can be a lot of things. They can be poignant, joyful, exciting, stressful, uplifting – sometimes all of these at once. But the best word to describe Andi and Kevin’s fall wedding at Boettcher Mansion is short and simple: Fun. That’s it. It was just plain fun. Andi and Kevin were fun. Especially when…
Ciara and Jonathan’s Telluride wedding had all the things I love to see in a wedding. Not the details or the view (although those were gorgeous, anyway). After all, when the cake has been devoured and the flowers have withered and the last song has played, the things that remain from a wedding day are…
