These are a few of my favorite things:

Fall colors

The fall colors were peak on this special day. With the mountains as the backdrop with snow on the tips and all the yellow and orange aspens, this day felt extra special. The leaves were falling off the trees as pictures were taken and the ceremony was going. The weather was perfect. The flowers just added to the beauty of the meadow. Guests were in awe of the colors and tango (their dog) loved running through the trees.

BEER BURROW HOUR

Max ( the beer burrow ) led the guests up to the ceremony site and hung out for the ceremony. After the ceremony was done, he led the guests back down for cocktail hour where he hung out on the patio of the Black Diamond Lodge for a little bit. Durning cocktail hour, Rob played lived music while the guest enjoyed a drink and a snack. Jamie had put together personal thank you notes for all the guests. Jamie and McClain signed their marriage license with the help of Tango and enjoyed a lively cocktail hour with their guests.

First looks

Jamie did a first look with Tango, her dad, and McClain. Each was special in its own way. Jamie did a first look with her dad by the chairlift. It was a beautiful moment that she got to share with just her dad. After her first look with her dad, Jamie made her way up to the meadow to see McClain. He was waiting for her in the aspen trees with leaves falling. It was so beautiful. After they did a first look, they took some pictures in the trees with tango.
