Nicole & Justin | Breckenridge Vow Renewal | Colorado Wedding Photographer

Nicole and Justin eloped while living in California in 2009 and had always considered hosting an event so their family and friends could celebrate with them.  Well five years and two handsome boys later, they decided a 5th anniversary party and vow renewal would be the perfect time to pull together the people they love most for a well-styled and joyful celebration.  They rented a beautiful home nestled in the mountains south of Breckenridge, and it was the perfect location for the party.  The strong, rustic home paired perfectly with Nicole's free-spirited, DIY vision, and I was in photographer heaven when I walked in!  So needless to say, this is a large post and starts out with an array of pretty details...With flowers from Fifty Flowers, Nicole arranged the bouquets, table pieces AND decorated their perfect blank canvas cake from Blue Moon Bakery.  And their ceremony altar - a beautifully rustic team effort!  And all the aspens and pine they used in their decor was sourced from Justin's homesites!And these wood invitations!The cutest kids' table setup...Nicole's dad served as the officiant:I was smitten with Nicole's look.  Stunning, right?!  Flower crown and bouquet made herself, Swedish dress by Emma O Clothing and knitted bolero by WhiteFashion.As a maker herself (and owner of The Makers Den opening later this summer in Fairplay!), Nicole did a great job of incorporating the handiwork of other makers in this day.  People are so inspiring!  Here are some who contributed to this day who have yet to be mentioned in this post:Jewelry: Deb Blazer, TikiLeHoot, BLCouture, CanterBeads, Bahgsu Jewels // Justin's attire: Perry Ellis, G.H.
