A RAINY MOUNTAIN TOP DREAM

September 22nd brought a little rain and a lot of romance to the Paradise Ceremony Site at Purgatory. The clouds rolled in, the mist settled over the mountains, and somehow, it all felt just right. Rain on your wedding day? Turns out, it’s pure magic when you’re surrounded by aspen trees and people who love you.

PHOTOS THAT FELT LIKE A FAIRYTALE

Despite the weather—or maybe because of it—the photos from this day were next level. Light and airy in the dreamiest way, every shot looked like it was plucked from the pages of a storybook. Soft lighting, glowing smiles, and that fresh mountain air made for the perfect mix.

LITTLE ONES, BIG MOMENTS

There’s something about small kids at a wedding that makes everything sweeter. Whether they were toddling down the aisle or stealing the show on the dance floor, the tiniest guests brought so much heart to this already emotional day. It was full of laughter, joy, and the kind of moments you want to bottle up forever.

A TEAM WHO KEPT IT COZY

Amber and Josh were your coordination duo for the day, and while the rain might’ve changed a few plans, it didn’t put a damper on the love. With a warm and welcoming reception at Purgy’s and a smooth timeline from start to finish, the whole day was cozy, calm, and completely beautiful.
