If you’ve been thinking about planning a mountain wedding, but not sure that the full on adventure wedding style is for you, you’ve got to check this out.

One of the best things about weddings in Colorado is that there are some truly incredible venues right in the mountains so you can get stunning photos–without the hiking boots! (Keep scrolling to see more of one of my favorites!).

Which leads me to:

Three reasons why you should have a mountain wedding:

  1. Soak in the beauty and peace of nature: There’s no vibes like it. Stepping out into the crisp air, surrounded by the wind in the trees and mountains as far as your eyes can see? It’s such an incredible and grounding experience–perfect for starting this next phase of your beautiful journey together.
  2. Create a memorable experience–for you AND your guests: unless all your guests live in the mountains (statistically unlikely), getting away into the mountains creates a memorable experience, out of the ordinary, that will stick with them. It’s such a unique time to have people from so many different areas of your life, all in one spot. The added layer of unique and memorable location crystallizes it in time even more!
  3. Get stunning wedding photos: with a venue right in the mountains, we can create stunning and heart-felt wedding photos together, without having to hike for hours or take you away from celebrating with your people for long. Just enough time for you and your love to step away, take some intentional time to enjoy being together on your wedding day and soaking in the joy, while we create magical images you’ll look back on for years to come.

To give you some inspiration, here are some favorites from a wedding at Northstar Gatherings, located in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Side note: stepping out of the car upon arrival at this venue, I was struck with how quiet it was outside. It was one of the most peaceful and magical settings I’ve ever experienced!

BEHIND THE LENS

A note from Jen

Purpose and passion and the lessons of over 17 years of weddings...

I'm writing this today staring out at the bright blue Colorado sky, near Boulder, CO where I live with my husband of nearly 17 years and our 8 year old son. We moved here to chase the mountains and adventure and a life fully lived, after over a decade in Nashville, TN. 

It might seem silly to say that I believe part of my purpose here on this earth is creating photos at people’s weddings. But here’s the thing. Life is absolutely going to life. There are going to be days and seasons that are freaking hard and awful and the world feels like it’s burning down (literally, metaphorically, in all the ways). And there are going to be days full of so much love and joy and bliss and peace that you wish you could just bottle it up for all time.

And I feel so strongly that that’s WHY a wedding matters. And why your photos matter. And why making it so intentional and purposeful to you matters. To create the space to intentionally create beautiful new memories together. Because it’s a weekend to say that this love (yes, all love) and these people (yes, all people) MATTER. It exists. It is real. And it’s worth celebrating the f*** out of. In a radical defiance of everything telling us to be scared and wall up our hearts.



And it’s worth documenting. My purpose in this is to be present with what’s there on your wedding day—all the joy, love, and whatever else is showing up—and creating the record of it. A record of what is true to you. So that when the days hit hard, you can point back at this anchor of joy and love, and know that it exists. It is real. It is worth celebrating.

Sending all the love, wherever this journey of life is meeting you today. xoxo, Jen
