Pre-scripted vows, personal vows, or both? No matter which you choose, vows are usually a pivotal point of any wedding ceremony.

We always encourage our wedding couples to write their own vows, and here’s why: vows should go beyond confessing your love. They’re a chance to make real promises to each other, not just say how you feel.

Read them out loud in front of everyone, or save them for a quiet exchange between just the two of you, either way works.

The best vows push you both to show up as the best version of yourselves, for each other and on your own.

If you’re not sure where to start, you can tell a specific story that encapsulates your relationship as a gold standard, or a habit you already love and want to continue. You can always start with one promise you want to keep, and go from there.

Vows with Gibson & Sandy couldn’t have been sweeter. We loved this day so much and are grateful to the vendor team:

Crested Butte Wedding at Ten Peaks Umbrella Bar

05/20/2026

We’re so excited to be back!!! Lydia’s return home to Colorado is official, and T arrives home later this week. We’re still processing all of the magic from our tropical adventures, and we’ll share more of those later, but let’s get back into some Crested Butte photo excursions for a while, shall we!? We can hardly wait! ✨

And guess what!? Wildflower season is predicted to start early this year! 🤯 We already have most of those mid-summer dates booked, but we still have several dates available for late summer and early fall.

So, if you’ve been thinking about planning something special, now’s the time to reach out. We can’t wait to connect with you. ☎️

Our take: your Crested Butte elopement shouldn’t end with the daylight.

Claire & Zach came to us for adventure, wildflowers, and mountain views, and they stayed for the stars, the moon, and the magic.

From vows at a waterfall to champagne by an alpine lake to lanterns in hand and lupine up to their knees, this is what it looks like to stay out after dark during your wedding day.

💫 Tell us in the comments: done at sunset or shoot for the stars?

And if you want both, you know where to find us.

Some afternoons in the mountains have a way of making everything feel possible. Time seems to slow down just enough. This was one of those.

Garrett had been carrying the ring quietly for months. You could feel it in the way he moved when they arrived.

Nervous, yes. But also focused, present, ready.

They drove their jeep deep into the Colorado backcountry, miles from anything ordinary, a place that held special meaning for the two of them.

He told her a small, innocent lie. There would be photographers there, waiting. Ready to take their photos for this year’s holiday cards.

We met them with excitement and a steady presence, simultaneously eager and patient to position them perfectly with the lake and mountain views as their backdrop for the moment.

Then he asked. Elly didn’t see it coming.

Her whole face changed at once — the kind of reaction you can’t force and will never forget.

What happened after the surprise proposal wasn’t a surprise to us.

The tension he’d been carrying for weeks just left. They relaxed into each other, into the afternoon, into the wildflowers and the scenery.

What he expected to be a short session turned into something neither of them wanted to end.

That shift — nerves into joy, a carefully crafted plan into a lifelong memory — is what we show up for every time.

He told her he knew of a great spot for dinner with a beautiful view…
Not an outright lie, but maybe not exactly what she had in mind, either.

Somewhere along the drive, he pulled over and said,
“Let’s take this in for a second.”

What she didn’t know:
this stop had already been carefully chosen.
The river, the mountains, Loki the dog patiently (and excitedly) waiting nearby,
a beautifully styled charcuterie spread, champagne on ice… and the ring! 💍

All of it leading to this moment.

A Crested Butte proposal that didn’t feel staged or rushed.
Simply intentional, personal, and entirely their own.

The kind of experience perfect for lingering a little longer.
Watching the sunset together and celebrating forever. 🥂

If you’re planning a proposal and want it to feel this thoughtful (yet still effortless), from location to styling to how it all unfolds, we’ll guide you through every step and document every detail.

“We’re down for anything!” …but like… anything anything?

The kind of anything with golden light spilling over the horizon, snacks that taste better shared, and a cozy little campsite tucked into the trees. 🏕️

The kind that’s a little wild, a little homemade.

The kind of anything where we don’t have to hurry, but instead just get to enjoy the simple pleasures with our favorite people… and the dogs and cats are obviously invited 😻

The kind where love is the whole reason we’re there in the first place. (Admittedly, we like to get a little fancy too sometimes!)

That’s our kind of anything. Always has been, always will be.

So yeah… We’re down for anything.
(as long as it looks like this)

What does your “anything” look like? 👀
