Small Wedding on Vail Pass in Colorado | Becca + Chris

Posted On | August 18, 2020

When their big wedding got canceled last year, Becca and Chris still decided to have an intimate wedding with their family at a rental home in Summit County. This backpack-loving, nature-seeking couple got the best of both worlds!

Even though they had to drop their original plans, they still included all the moments from a wedding day that were important to them:

– The bride’s brother played the violin as Becca walked down the aisle

– The groom’s sister officiated their ceremony and pronounced them married

– They shared their first dance and cut the cake surrounded by immediate family

– The day was recorded on a phone so they could share the ceremony with all the friends and family who were supposed to attend on their original wedding date

And at the end of it all, we headed off on a mini adventure on Vail Pass and found ourselves in awe of the mountain views at sunset!

Congratulations Becca and Chris!
