Come with me as we relive this incredible summer day in one of our favorite mountain towns ✨

L+I brought so much love and life to this little corner of the mountains. Celebrating them amongst the peaks, disco balls, and all the people they love was pretty dang easy. 🪩🏔️

If ‘cozy elopement’ were a carousel post. 🍂✨

You know when the air is crisp, the afternoons are warm and golden, and the evenings have that unmistakable chill that makes a cozy cabin, or a glass of w**e feel especially inviting?

R+L were all about embracing that feeling..slow mornings, golden aspen groves, mountain views, a cozy dinner, and a day that felt more like an adventure together than a wedding.

Sometimes the best elopements are the ones that feel less like an event and more like a really, really good day.

Less of a rebrand and more of a reset.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what I actually want to share here, and what I don’t.

I don’t want to contribute to the noise just for the sake of being seen. I want this space to feel like a reflection of my actual life and the things I actually care about.

So yes, there will still be beautiful weddings. But there will also be opinions, behind-the-scenes, mountain life, motherhood, business, the things I’m learning, and probably a few things that don’t fit neatly into the wedding industry box.

I’ve been a little quiet while life has been very full. I have some catching up to do, but I’m not going to apologize for that.

I’m just really excited to make this space feel like me again, and I hope you’ll continue to follow along 🤘🏼

There are weddings, and then there are weddings that leave a lasting mark on your heart.

Being part of Holli & Evan’s planning journey was such an honor. It’s always a little different when you’re planning for someone in the wedding industry..there’s a level of trust that means so much, and getting to help bring their vision to life was something I’ll never take for granted.

These two are some of the most genuine, kind, and downright fun people you’ll ever meet. And after spending the weekend with their family and friends, it was so clear where those qualities come from. They have built a community of people who love deeply, celebrate wholeheartedly, and make everyone around them feel welcome.

It was one of those classic Colorado days where the wind had plans of its own, but not for a second did it take away from the joy, the laughter, or the magic. If anything, it became part of the story.

We’re so incredibly happy for you both. And while these photos are absolutely stunning, they’re only a small glimpse into how beautiful this day truly was. 🤍

Most couples let their excitement lead their planning. Biiig invite lists, large venues and every pretty thing of that season that comes across their feed. I get it. This chapter is exciting, it’s an excuse to throw a party and you’re just ready to CELEBRATE!

The part that no one is prepared for with a big celebration is #1 how FAST the day goes, and #2 how overwhelming it actually is. It’s fun but never what you fully expect..

Here’s where the experience theory comes in -
The idea that people remember experiences far more than big productions and pretty things.

Science says your brain remembers emotions, and connections. So leading with intentional thoughts on how you want to remember your day in 10,20,30 years vs. impulsive excitement will 100% change the way you plan 👏🏼

We support your wishes, but just… give it some time and thought 😘

Literally just a girl 🌱✨🦋

It’s no surprise that pouring your heart into someone else’s wedding day can be exhausting. Add in learning how to be a mom, making time for the people I love, and trying to hold onto the hobbies that make me me… and life feels pretty full.

It’s not balanced every day. Some weeks one thing gets more of me than the others. But making room for all the pieces of my life, even imperfectly, helps me show up as a better planner, a better mom, and a happier human.

Thanks for helping me fill my cup.

I still can’t believe this was 5 years ago! One of MOUNTAINESQUE WEDDINGS first events where these two showed us that a small ceremony in the aspens + dinner with a view is absolutely all that’s needed ✨

thanks for continuing to inspire us all these years later.

Let’s reminisce on C+D’s sweet summer elopement in the San Juans, shall we?

Their morning started with the sunrise, a cup of coffee on the back deck of their airbnb and a sweet first look before their day of adventure.

By 11:30am they had exchanged rings, enjoyed a glass of ch*****ne and frolicked through wildflowers with their favorite people.

Their post-ceremony adventure was filled with hidden lakes and waterfalls as they made their way back to town for an evening of celebrating. Where an intimate tablescape awaited filled with wildflowers and delicious food!

Between the sweet meaningful words shared over dinner, their dog’s stamp of approval on the marriage license and the gorgeous light of the sunsetting while they enjoyed their first dance, I don’t think anything could have felt more meaningful than this very very intimate day ✨

When asked us to help plan their 2025 retreat, we had no idea the shoots would be THIS magical ✨ but of course Alaska showed UP this past July!

Thank you Alaska for this incredible setting, the never-ending light and of course plenty of good xratuff moments.

Should we plan a retreat in our neck of the woods next!?
