If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when joy and love collide in the middle of the Colorado mountains in Glenwood Springs, Hayden + Jaeda’s wedding is the answer! Their day in Glenwood Springs was filled with sunshine, laughter, and those little in-between moments that make a wedding feel SO real and unforgettable.

From heartfelt vows to sneaking away for golden hour portraits in the fields, everything about their day felt intentional and full of heart. It wasn’t just about saying “I do.” It was about celebrating the start of a marriage surrounded by the people who mean the most!

The Vows

The ceremony was simple, heartfelt, and full of personality, just like them. The moment Jaeda walked down the aisle, Hayden’s face completely lit up. From then on, it was all happy tears and big smiles.

After the “I do’s,” we wandered into the fields with mountains in the distance. This part of the day always ends up being one of my favorites!! It’s the first chance couples really get to step away and just be together. These two wrapped themselves in Jaeda’s veil, laughed their way through every pose, and honestly made it way too easy for me to capture their love.

Tip for couples: Build at least 15 minutes into your timeline after the ceremony for portraits. It’s not just about photos, it’s about taking a breath, letting it all sink in, and having a little “just us” moment before the party kicks off!!

Why Glenwood Springs is a Dream Spot

Okay, if you’re planning a wedding in Colorado and haven’t considered Glenwood Springs yet, here’s why you should:

• The views? Unreal. Mountains, fields, trees, rivers, you name it.
• It’s beautiful in every season, whether you want warm summer greens or golden fall colors.

The Reception

The rest of the day was exactly what you’d hope for, good food, heartfelt toasts, and a dance floor that stayed full all night long. Hayden and Jaeda made sure the day wasn’t just about the pretty details (though trust in me, there were plenty) it was about celebrating with their people, and you could feel that joy in every single moment!

Hayden and Jaeda’s wedding day was full of love, laughter, and mountain views that just didn’t quit. It was such an honor to capture it all, and I left feeling so grateful to do what I do, document love stories that feel genuine, personal, and true to the couple.
