Nestled deep in the Colorado mountains, Sunlight Mountain Resort in Glenwood Springs holds a special place in the hearts of many. For this couple, it’s where their love story began back in high school. Fast forward to June, and they returned to the place where it all started, to say “I do” in a beautiful summer wedding that was nothing short of magical.
A Meaningful Start to the Day
The day began just minutes from the resort, at the bride’s aunt’s house, where she and her bridesmaids got ready. Surrounded by family, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation. The home’s cozy ambiance set the perfect tone for what was to come—a day filled with love, memories, and the promise of a beautiful future.
A Ceremony with a View
The ceremony took place on a hill overlooking the resort, with the mountains providing a stunning backdrop. Despite the summer heat, the couple and their guests enjoyed a short, heartfelt ceremony that celebrated not just their love for each other, but their shared history. The intimate setting, coupled with the significance of the location, made this moment all the more special.
Sunset Photos and a Night to Remember
After the ceremony, the couple chose to enjoy cocktail hour and dinner with their family and friends before heading out for newlywed photos. This decision allowed them to fully engage with their loved ones during the festivities—a perfect option for couples who want to balance celebrating with capturing beautiful memories. As the sun began to set, we headed out for a stunning photoshoot, with the golden light creating an ethereal glow around the newlyweds.
The night continued with speeches that brought tears and laughter, followed by a first dance under the full moon. It was a moment that felt straight out of a fairy tale. The evening concluded with the couple dancing the night away with their favorite people, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
