Bethany + Matt redstone

alyssa mcelheny

Bethany and Matt met through mutual friends at a Black Keys concert on a summer night in the Mile High. From the first hello, their connection quickly turn into un-denying chemistry. Music led the pair to their first date night over Italian cuisine at Osteria Marco. The rest was history! A couple years later in August of 2016, the couple and a few of their friends headed North to their favorite camping getaway, Steamboat Lake. Little did Bethany know that along with the gear was a ring that Matt had tucked away! Once the crew set up camp, they headed down to the river to cast a few lines. To Bethany’s surprise Matt was hanging back on the banks – which was not like him at all. Just then Matt gathered himself and brought Bethany over for a quiet moment. He got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. Completely surprised, she said, “Yes!” They planned an organic, mountain wedding with the sweetest Bohemian touch for August 12th.

meet us in the mountains Bethany and Matt ultimately chose to be married at Redstone Inn not only because the mountain setting felt like home, but the location naturally created an intimate experience for their guests. All of their family and friends who came out to support them were able to be together in one place all weekend. With no cell service and endless outdoor adventure, the weekend felt like the best summer camp anyone had ever been to.

a bridal moment “I am not a dress type of person so I truly questioned whether or not I would have that ‘bridal moment’ when I found the one. Following my personal style, I knew I wanted a simple, yet somewhat edgy design. I came across my perfect match at anna bé bridal boutique, Made With Love. My wedding day gown was comfortable, effortlessly beautiful and, sure enough, made me feel like a bride.”

From handmade ceremony and floral pieces to a fun photo booth as a night cap, they couldn’t have been happier with the final outcome. It was worth every hour of hard work.

Samantha + Michael aspen

jeremiah and rachel photography

A mutual workspace may have brought Samantha and Michael together, but the couple found true love within the mountains of Colorado. From regular weekend trips to Aspen to countless hiking and skiing adventures, their love only grew. In June of 2016, Michael and Samantha packed their bags and headed to Aspen for another weekend getaway. Little did Samantha know that it would be one of their most memorable yet. On a trek up to the Maroon Bells, where the couple shared their first hike together, Michael got down on one knee and asked Samantha for her hand in marriage. Swept off her feet, of course, she said, “Yes!� The two planned a romantic, mountain wedding in their favorite place for September 23rd.

aspen is calling “Being married in Aspen was a simple decision for Michael and I. It’s not only where we fell in love, but the small, mountain town is where our hearts belong. The time we spent exploring the area together filled us with gratitude and an overwhelming appreciation for the outdoors. We dreamed of sharing that with our intimate guest list. From the surprise snow storm on top of the golden landscape to a night sky filled with stars, I believe our guests were able to fully embrace the magic and unpredictable beauty of the mountains.”

Katie + Matt va i l

laura murray photography

New Years Eve happenings brought Katie and Matt to the same loft party in SoHo. Katie lit up the dance floor while Matt couldn’t keep his eyes off of her. After waiting for the perfect moment, he finally approached Katie as she pulled up a chair and kicked off her shoes—the two clicked immediately! As the ball dropped and the night came to an end, Katie and Matt’s love story had only just begun. The two spent a whirlwind first weekend together before Matt went home to Philadelphia. Head over heels, they agreed to date long distance. The couple fell in love from New York to West Palm Beach and back again over a year and half of flights, late night phone calls and eagerly anticipated visits before finally settling into their life together in Manhattan. Three years later, Matt bought a ring! On a chilly night in November, he brought Katie back to the same place they met. Turns out they were hunting for a table right across the street- the perfect excuse! Matt got down on one knee and asked Katie to marry him. Of course, she said, “Yes!” The two planned a dream destination wedding in Vail for July 22nd.

hopeless romantic Katie had a strong vision for her wedding day. She was the girl who obsessed over the season’s hottest gown collections and watched the classic wedding movies with her sister growing up. Katie took inspiration from Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream” and put a rustic, mountain spin on it. She used a color palette of gold, peaches, blush tones and heavy greenery to bring her exact fairytale to life.

a love story for the mountains Growing up near the Appalachian Mountains, Matt always had a deep connection with the outdoors. However, it was until he skied Vail Mountain for the first time that he became hooked. Early on in their relationship, Matt brought Katie to Colorado where he introduced her to the magic and serenity of the Rocky Mountains. She fell completely in love! That’s why when it came to their wedding location, Vail was a no brainer. The couple knew they wanted to share their passion for Colorado with their family and friends.

Nicole + Ryan crested butte

amelia ann photography

Nicole and Ryan met online nearly six years ago. Compatibility led them to their first date in Golden, Colorado. An epic first date at that! From day hikes and aprés brews at Canonball Creek Brewing Company to a perfect thai dinner to follow, the pair fell fast and knew there was something special between them. Nicole and Ryan’s love story eventually led them to San Diego. However, the couple made sure they never missed out on their favorite Colorado getaways. In April of 2015, they planned an amazing hut trip with their closest friends. On their way back down from the mountains, Ryan surprised Nicole with a second, first date before catching their flight that evening. At the trailhead in Golden, where the couple first met, Ryan got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. Completely surprised, Nicole said, “Yes!” They planned a colorful wedding in Crested Butte on July 22nd.

real wedding

you belong among the wildflowers Crested Butte has always been a slice of heaven for Nicole and Ryan. Not only is it Ryan’s favorite mountain biking destination, but the couple spent their first getaway together in the small, Colorado mountain town. When Nicole and Ryan started planning their wedding, they both knew they had to find a way to exchange vows amongst the snow-capped peaks and endless fields of wildflowers – Nicole’s dream day after all.

first time is a charm!

Nicole’s mom, Ryan’s mom and sister and her closest girlfriends flew out to California to take her wedding dress shopping. The girls drove to LA for the weekend in hopes to hunt down “the one”. Nicole dreamed of a timeless and flattering gown. She found her perfect match at BHLDN – the first store her and her party walked into. When she tried on the lace adorned, slim fitting dress, she knew it belonged to her.

real wedding

second nature “Our first look is one of my favorite memories from our wedding day. On our way over to meet Ryan, it started to rain. I remember a feeling come over me that I had never felt before. I was excited and anxious, but not nervous. As I got out of the car and approached Ryan, I immediately grabbed his butt! He turned around with the biggest grin, and, we started belly laughing. Ryan and I cracked open beers with our wedding party and enjoyed the moment. That time, pre-ceremony, was second nature to us. Someone just happened to be taking pictures, and I was in a beautiful dress.”

advice to rocky mountain couples “Remember that when you are having an event in the mountains, mother nature is on your planning team. Sometimes you don’t have control over what she wants. Be open to last minute changes and early happy hour.”
