Sarah + Mary | Simple same-sex microwedding in the mountains

Their Story: "Mary is a high school history teacher and basketball coach and I (Sarah) run an Oral Surgery practice. Mary is also a musician and singer and I came across one of her singing videos. I jumped on the opportunity to meet her and we have been together ever since. The summer of 2022 will mark our 2 year anniversary and we have both dreamed about a simple mountain wedding. We share a love for nature and hiking and all things outdoors. Colorado will be our future home."

​Wedding Details:  Sarah and Mary first reached out with our Ceremony Site Report.  Important to them were to have mountain views, the first look at the ceremony, and to have amazing photos.  We nailed all three!  They hosted an incredible simple small mountain wedding with 25 of their closes family and friends.  We mixed-up our usual sequencing of events and rather than capturing getting ready photos, we met the couple and their guests at the ceremony site.  For same-sex weddings, there are a variety of ways your can walk-in.... keeping the traditional elements or making it unique to you.  In fact, Mary's sister officiated and Sarah's son was the usher and main flower man.  They were able to keep their dresses a secret from each other and incorporated special touches - like Sarah gifting Mary a cool hat!  After group and couple-only photos, we caravanned to Breckenridge to a vacation home they rented and allowed for small groups where we cut the cake and celebrated!

More Tips and Ideas:  If you would like to plan a same-sex wedding in the mountains, please reach out to Wendee.  Our base packages at this site start at $4,800 (3.5 hours); you can checkout our price estimator for additions (benches, extra time, centerpieces, etc.).  For Sarah + Mary, the only addition to their wedding was the seating.  Not only are there great vacation homes in this Breckenridge, there are amazing hotels, condos and restaurants that feature either small private dining rooms or semi-private dining areas where groups of 12-, 20-, 35- can gather and celebrate.   We work behind-the-scenes and include planning, professional photographer, florals, cake, officiants, and an onsite coordinator (pickups/deliveries, music).  Our packages are created to make your planning process easy (we guide you along the way providing small bite-sized chunks of "homework"), and your wedding day to be fun focusing on friends, family and your partner.
