Hi, I'm Stephanie πŸ‘‹
I create authentic wedding days for couples who demand "more" from the wedding industry. πŸ€ŽπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Contact me! I’m a hugger and believer in early mornings + strong coffee. But, most of all, I’m passionate about creating fun, inclusive wedding experiences.

E+Z are one of my 2027 wedding couples, and we just wrapped up their engagement session out in Summit County.πŸ’

Their first date was in Georgetown, so being out in that part of Colorado felt like a really meaningful place to be. And since they do not have a lot of photos together as a couple, this session was really special for them, which honestly made it really special for me too.

They wanted something natural, joyful, and casual. Something relaxed and real. We had some wild weather earlier in the week, so we moved the session a day, and it paid off 100%. Loveland Pass delivered in every way.

Here are a few sneak peeks to hold you over. More coming soon. 🀍

Congratulations, E+Z! 🫢

One year ago, D+R got married before most of the world was even awake.πŸŒ„

They started their wedding day hiking through the dark with headlamps on, made it to the lake just as the mountains started turning pink, and spent the morning exploring together after saying their vows.

Looking back, I love how perfect it was for them. They knew they wanted an adventure, a beautiful place, and plenty of time to actually enjoy being together, so that's exactly what they planned.

And now it's been a whole year.πŸ₯Ή

Happy first anniversary, D+R! I hope married life has brought you just as many adventures, early mornings, and reasons to laugh together as that first day did.🫢

Make this your August of yes.

For me, that has meant yes to more paddleboard evenings. Yes to camping under the stars. Yes to a spontaneous concert at Red Rocks with an old friend. And yes to trivia nights that somehow stretch way longer than planned.

And I think that same instinct, that willingness to just go for it, is one worth holding onto.

If you are engaged, someone asked you a pretty big question recently, and you said yes. And now you get to start thinking about the day where you say it again, out loud, in exactly the way you want to.

The best yesses have a way of turning into the best stories. The best adventures. And the best relationships.

If you are ready to say yes to the wedding day you actually want, I would love to help you plan it.🫢

Over the years I kept noticing the same thing. Couples who wanted to elope had no shortage of inspiration but nowhere to actually start. So I put together the most comprehensive elopement planning guide I could, 11 steps and 35 linked resources, to walk you through the whole thing from the very first decision all the way to what comes after the wedding day.

Here is what it covers:

-Deciding if eloping is right for you
-Celebrating in a way that feels like you
-Taking the stress out of the planning process
-Building your to-do list
-Choosing where to elope
-Choosing when to elope
-Deciding who to invite
-Budgeting and hiring your vendors
-Incorporating your values into the day
-Finalizing all the details
-Figuring out what comes next

Whether you are just starting to think about eloping or already deep in the planning process, the guide gives you somewhere to start, a clear path to work through, and resources to help you along the way. πŸ”—

The boulders surrounding Bear Lake have been shaped by ancient oceans, glaciers, and thousands of years of geological chaos. They are also just really, really beautiful to get married in front of. πŸ˜‰

Bear Lake is one of Rocky Mountain National Park's designated wedding ceremony sites, and it is one of those locations that tends to take your words away the second you see it. Especially for such a short walk in.

There is also one pretty important rule about this location that a lot of couples might not find out until they are already in the planning process. I ended up writing a whole guide for this exact location because there are genuinely some good and helpful things to know before you start planning. In the blog, I am covering:

- How to actually get married at Bear Lake and what the permit process looks like
- What it costs
- Other photo and ceremony locations nearby inside RMNP
- Reception spots in the area, including Estes Park
- Activities to fill out your wedding day before and after the ceremony

If you think this might be the right location for you and your partner, start there. πŸ”—

P.S. Posting these crisp, snowy photos in the middle of a hot, smoky summer felt really necessary today.πŸ˜…
