I love Javier and Mariano!!! I first got connected with J & M when they eloped in Aspen, and three years later, I had the honor of taking their anniversary photos in the same magical place. They have become my sweet friends over these years and their anniversary shoot felt like a fun little ‘hang out’… and THAT is the best feeling in the world.
I am so so proud of this four page feature in the spring/summer 2025 print from Rocky Mountain Bride! RMB also included some of the film that I took and it’s the first time my film has been printed on one of their spreads! I’m obsessed!
Here’s an excerpt from the article ♥️♥️♥️
“Three years ago, Javi and Mariano tied the knot with an intimate elopement in the mountains of Colorado. Photographer, Lauren Pippin reflected, “Their stay at the St. Regis Aspen Resort was the epitome of sophistication, providing the perfect setting for their intimate celebration. Donning custom-made suits that reflected their unique styles, they exchanged vows surrounded by the majestic Maroon Bells. Every detail of their high-end elopement was meticulously planned to create an unforgettable experience, blending elegance and love in the heart of Aspen.” To celebrate their third anniversary, the couple returned to Aspen. Inspired by the town’s deep western roots, they embraced a more grounded and raw aesthetic for the shoot, a tribute to the joy of simply being together. Javi shared that, for them, “luxury comes with privacy, being secluded, surrounded, and inspired by nature,” a sentiment that shaped the tone of this photoshoot.”
