Freshly engaged this holiday season? Amy & Justin’s summer elopement in Alma, CO might give you some ideas for your own wedding day!

---

In these days of sharing so much on social media, it’s getting harder to find the quieter corners of the mountains. If you’re looking for a wedding day filled with peace, warmth & views planning a summer elopement in Alma, CO is exactly what you need.

We absolutely love Breckenridge – who doesn’t?! It’s a popular mountain destination, year round, and for good reason! World class skiing, gorgeous views, hiking, shopping, amazing restaurants – there is something for literally everyone!

But it’s no secret that it can get crowded. All the reasons that make it amazing can also contribute to the reasons it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, too.

We can relate. That’s why we chose to settle down & build our dream home tucked in the woods between Fairplay & Alma! There’s a time and place for all of it, but sometimes you just want to lose yourself, right? Not in the crowds, but in the trees. Not in the movement, but in the peace.

Enter: Alma, CO (and really, Park County, in general!).

Amy & Justin wanted a simple, quiet elopement day. No crowds, no fuss – just their love & family. I knew a spot away from the hustle of Summit County would be perfect for them.

Alma, CO is a quaint town at the base of the south side of Hoosier Pass and the proud home of gems like Otto’s Food Truck and Bristlecone Bakery. It’s amazing how quiet it is less than 30 minutes away! Once you’re at the top of Hoosier, you cross from Summit County to Park County, where time literally seems to slow down.

We met at the beautiful Montgomery Reservoir for their first look & ceremony, and the made the quick drive back to the summit of Hoosier Pass where we hiked to the perfect overlook tucked just near the trail for private vows, a picnic, and portraits.

It was such a magical day & the most perfect summer elopement in Alma, CO.

Amy had the kindest words to share about working with us – one of the most heartfelt & meaningful reviews we’ve ever received!

Shanna/Basecamp Visual was recommended to us by a previous client/friend of ours. When we saw their finished products, I knew we had to book our ceremony pictures with their company. Shanna took her time getting to know us as a couple, including our wishes for the day, our hopes for the style of art captured, and any special requests we might have. It’s always a risk to trust a complete stranger with one of the most special days of your life, hoping they will do it justice. Pictures are memories in still-form, and it is an art and a calling to be able to handle such precious memories with honor and creativity, respect and playfulness. Shanna did just that for us.

Upon receiving our gallery, all I could think was: “What kind of magic does one possess, to successfully capture every moment of love and beauty, happiness and magic of the day?!” The lighting was to die for, the color tones are everything I could dream of, and the happiness radiating on everyone’s faces just seals the deal for me. Thanks to Shanna’s creativity, I felt like my day looked like a page out of an Anthro catalog, and to say I’m obsessed, is taking the word lightly. Every time I thumb through our photos, I get to relive the joy and tenderness of those moments over and again.

Shanna is incredible and delivers above and beyond what one could hope for; I have no regrets whatsoever!

Amy & Justin

Elopements like this remind us just how much of a dream come true this job is.
We’ll never take it for granted.

Rachel & Gino’s Breckenridge wedding at Ten Mile Station felt magical. It was sparkly (just wait until you see Rachel’s second dress – AND the disco ball reception decor!) & just so freaking amazing.

---

Rachel & Gino hosted an unforgettable autumn Breckenridge wedding at Ten Mile Station. It’s one that’s taken us way too long to blog about because where to do you even begin when you want to share hundreds of your favorites in one post?

This wedding is one of our top choices whenever new couples ask to see our favorite work. It’s just SO FUN.

Is there anywhere better than Breckenridge in the fall?

No. The answer is no, there truly isn’t. We love this beautiful place & couldn’t be happier that so many of you do, too. Rachel & Gino wanted to share one of their favorite spots with all of their favorite people – they wanted a fun party, so party we did!

What mountain wedding dreams are made of.

We teamed up with the lovely Distinctive Mountain Events. Ebs is such a joy to work with, and we’re always so happy to call her a friend. As we always say: there’s no smoother wedding than a wedding run by Ebs and her amazing team. Quote us on that & then RUN over to her website to inquire and hire her for your own wedding day. As far as wedding planners & people goes, she’s at the very top. Hire her, then hire us. #dreamteam.

The flowers, the disco decor, THE DANCING.

Warning ahead: probably WAY TOO MANY photos. Just kidding. Never too many.

We’re thrilled to be headed back to Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge for THREE more weddings in the 2025 season. And pssst. There’s always room to add a couple more, too – there or elsewhere! – so reach out!

We’re so thrilled to share this beautiful fall Breckenridge wedding at Ten Mile Station with you!

Give us a summery wildflower wedding in Crested Butte, CO ANY TIME. Literally – sign us up because the magic of Jenna & Zane’s day has us dyin’ for more.

Have you even experienced Colorado wildflower season if you’ve not yet been to Crested Butte?

Look, obviously as locals to the Breckenridge area, we’re biased that this is an incredible part of our state & it’s not lost on us how fortunate we are to live here.

BUT. But – have y’all been to Crested Butte? WOW.

Jenna & Zane hosted a quintessential Colorado summer wedding for their closest friends & family. We had the honor of working with Ciera & Kaitlyn of Lucky Penny Events, who worked to flawlessly execute J+Z’s romantic & organic vision at the breathtaking Ten Peaks in Crested Butte, CO. Maddie, of Summit County’s Lady Sunshine Floral knocked the floral design out of the park! We loved the reception tent ceiling install, the floral wall, the centerpiece designs, and certainly not least of all Jenna’s gorgeous ombre bouquet. It all just screamed sweet summertime.

We absolutely loved working with this dream vendor team to make J+Z’s colorful wildflower wedding in Crested Butte a success. What a dreamy dream-come-true job this is.

This is what Jenna & Zane had to say about their wedding day experience with us!

Shanna and Dave are the very best! They are kind and easy to be around which is a major plus on a big life day! They were open to my vision of our wedding photos while lending their expertise. They are also just incredibly talented! The photos that I have from our engagement and wedding (so far) are the most beautiful photos I have ever had taken. They exemplify our love so obviously. We are so thankful we chose them for our big day!

Jenna & Zane

What an amazing wildflower wedding! Hope y’all love J+Z’s gorgeous, colorful Crested Butte wedding day. We sure do.
