Steamboat Wedding | Flying Diamond Ranch

Did you know that a grove of Aspen trees is the largest living organism on earth? While each tree appears to stand alone, they all share the same system of roots underground. Ellory and Connor exchanged vows in one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Steamboat Springs, Colorado — beneath the whispering branches of an old-growth aspen grove. Just like the trees surrounding them, everyone present was bonded by the love they share for the couple. It was the perfect place for Ellory and Connor’s next chapter to take root!

Following the ceremony, Ellory and Connor held their reception at Flying Diamond Ranch, a true rocky mountain destination surrounded by stunning peaks on all sides. Some of my favorite details included the gorgeous wreath their pup wore for the occasion, the charming copper and green place settings, and the signature spicy margarita cocktail. It was such a happy occasion, and the collective joy of the group had me smiling all day long.
