Tucked away in the Rocky Mountains at 11,550 feet, Michael and Aaron said “I Do” to forever in a summer ski resort wedding that was every bit as adventurous and authentic as they are. We first met this pair for their engagement session, and we had no idea how incredible their wedding day would turn out to be.
With their fondness for the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains and their passion for snowboarding at their favorite resort, Arapahoe Basin’s Black Mountain Lodge was the perfect venue. The alpine setting, the wildflowers, the sweeping views of the Continental Divide — everything came together for a day that felt completely, perfectly them.

Michael and Aaron, along with their huggable pup, took advantage of the sunlight and adventured with us to capture pictures on the mountainside before their ceremony. Their wedding was brimming with style, dapper suits, libations, dancing, giggles, tears, and of course — Love.
As love begets love, all of their friends and family joined in the celebration with endless enthusiasm. The ceremony was filled with authentic emotion, and watching these two promise forever to each other against that massive mountain backdrop was truly unforgettable.
These newlyweds wrapped up their ceremony by planting some beautiful greenery, giving it soil and water to grow and thrive. A perfect representation of their new life together — rooted in the mountains they love, nurtured by the commitment they made to each other.
It was one of the most meaningful ceremony moments we have ever had the privilege to photograph. The celebration lingered into nightfall where the unpolluted night sky lit up the surrounding forest terrain. The lodge was the perfect place for their wedding, given the pair’s love for winter activities and the Colorado outdoors.
