Nicole + Jason | Colorado Small Wedding Package in the Rocky Mountains

6/13/2022

Their Story: "Jason and I (Nicole) met at work 8 years ago, and have been together almost 6 years. In 2017 we packed up our stuff and moved from Minnesota to Colorado. We moved for what we expected to be a short time, but ended up falling in love with the beauty and endless outdoor activities that is hard to find many other places. When we decided to start planning our small wedding, we knew we wanted it to be simple yet beautiful and very intimate with our closest family and friends. Finding Wendee and seeing what Custom Weddings of Colorado provided gives us everything we want and love as part of our wedding."

Small Wedding Details: Being "local" Coloradans, Nicole and Jason made it a staycation for their small wedding in Summit County Colorado. Originally Nicole wanted white and blush flowers - pretty on Instagram posts, but adding a few soft colors adds vibrancy and life to an early summer small wedding in the outdoors - what do you think? Nicole added on a boutonniere for theirs son and a little spray bouquet for her niece. After some getting ready moments at an AirBNB they were staying at in Breckenridge, the group caravanned over to a small scenic overlook with amazing views. The brought their own officiant, a good friend, to personalize the ceremony. After some group photos, the guests departed to go enjoy some brews at the Highside Brewing Company in Frisco, Colorado. Nicole and Jason were soon to meet the group, and cut their cake to celebrate the beginnings of a sweet married life!

About Wendee

I've been planning weddings since 1995 when I moved to Colorado from Iowa. I cut my teeth at Keystone Resort in their wedding department, then then ventured on to planning corporate meetings. But, I kept helping friends and their friends with weddings starting my first full-service company in 2002 (yes - planned the big overwhelming ones). In 2012 with the birth of my son, values shifted and I decided to go small, intimate and meaningful. Please connect with me to make your dreamy, simple mountain wedding come true!

Behind the Scenes

Ever wonder what goes on behind-the-scenes of a micro-wedding day? Jaime L. Barba, one of our talented professional photographers, captured me at work from one of our May 2023 weddings in Boulder, Colorado. Enjoy! .... and yes, she does wedding-day content creation (a great alternative if you cannot afford videography) for couples as well as photography.

Content Creation

What is a wedding day content creator? It’s someone who is there on your wedding day taking pictures on a cell phone (or in Jaime's case, her professional equipement), documenting behind-the-scenes moments, capturing and telling stories, and delivering short-form media content of your wedding day in real-time.
