Tying the Knot Where It All Began: A June Wedding at Sunlight Mountain Resort

For this couple, Sunlight Mountain Resort in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is more than just a beautiful wedding venue—it’s where their love story began. They met on this very ski slope in high school, and this June, they returned to the mountain to begin their next chapter together as husband and wife.

A Day of Love and Laughter

The day started at the bride’s aunt’s house, where she and her bridesmaids got ready for the big day. The atmosphere was one of joy and anticipation, with family and friends gathered to help the bride prepare for the moment she had been dreaming of. The close proximity of the house to the resort added a sense of ease to the day, allowing everyone to focus on the celebration ahead.

A Beautiful Ceremony with a Mountain Backdrop

The couple chose a hill at Sunlight Mountain Resort for their ceremony, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The summer sun shone brightly as the couple exchanged vows in a short, family-focused ceremony. The natural beauty of the setting made the ceremony even more special, creating a picturesque backdrop for this important moment in their lives.

Golden Hour Photos and a Moonlit Dance

After the ceremony, the couple joined their guests for a lively cocktail hour and dinner. Opting to take their newlywed photos during sunset, they were able to fully enjoy this time with their family and friends. This approach allowed for a relaxed, enjoyable evening, while still capturing breathtaking photos as the sun set over the mountains.

The night was filled with heartfelt speeches, laughter, and a first dance under the full moon—a magical moment that perfectly captured the romance of the day. The couple ended the night by dancing under the stars, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.
