Amie and Ryan met in college in Indiana. They started out friends, but by their senior year they became something so much more. A few years ago they moved from Indiana to Colorado, and fell so in love with the Rocky Mountains and the outdoors they had to bring all their loved ones here to celebrate their wedding. Above all, they wanted to create “a mountain adventure for everyone.” Their Ski Tip Lodge wedding in Keystone certainly made a bold and beautiful statement. I’ll be dreaming about their day for years to come, so you can be sure it’ll be the talk of the town for everyone there too.
The ceremony itself took place at the nearly 12,000-foot summit at Keystone Resort. The altar was the sweeping mountain backdrop. Everyone rode up to the ceremony site in an enclosed gondola. Talk about a unique experience! If I could commute to every wedding by gondola ride, I would.
The overall style of this wedding can be described no better than by Amie herself:
“We had a very textured, organic, and colorful vision for our wedding! I wanted to find bridesmaids dresses that would look classy and timeless, so the bridesmaids wore neutral colored dresses. Then, they got big splash of color with our bright jewel-toned bouquets. We love blue suits, which the groomsmen wore with ties that matched the bridesmaids. We both wanted Ryan to stand out from the rest of the groomsmen, so he got a custom burgundy suit and paired it with a blue and white floral tie, to tie into the groomsmen’s blue color scheme. We were so happy with how great everyone looked together as a group!
For our reception tables, we wanted to get more creative than the typical numbers. Instead, we labeled them all with the name of a Colorado mountain above 14,000 feet in elevation—these peaks are affectionately referred to by Coloradans as “fourteeners.” My brother-in-law designed and printed all of them. These ended up being some of our favorite decor items, and we are planning to frame and display them permanently in a wall collage!”
Every detail was absolutely flawless. Amie’s dress was stunning, with a lace bodice and a skirt that flowed effortlessly in the wind. Her bright pink bouquet with cascading ribbons made a show-stopping pair. And of course Ryan looked ultra chic standing next to Amie in his maroon suit. Always framed by the gorgeous mountain backdrop, these two could not be more picture perfect.
The reception took place at the Ski Tip Lodge, where Amie and Ryan spent the rest of their evening greeting every guest who took the time and effort to come, and of course broke it down on the dance floor. It was super important to them to enjoy every second of the outdoors possible, so they strung up twinkle lights and danced outside underneath them long after the sun went down.
Here are some closing thoughts from Amie:
“Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives. We moved to Colorado from the Midwest almost 6 years ago, and have very much been looking forward to the day that we could really give our friends and family a weekend to experience our new home state with us. We never run out of things we can do, or places we can explore, but it was so meaningful to be able to share that with all of our loved ones together.”
I am so honored to have been the one to capture this truly amazing day with Amie and Ryan.
