Okay, let’s be real—who decided that weddings have to include a guest list longer than your holiday card mailing list? Enter: the micro wedding. With 50 or fewer of your nearest and dearest (or maybe just the two of you—hello, elopement vibes), these intimate celebrations are all about skipping the chaos, dialing up the meaning, and soaking in every second. And there’s no better place to do it than Colorado, where the scenery shows up dressed to impress, every single time.

As someone who’s spent years photographing love stories across this gorgeous state, let me tell you—micro weddings hit different. They’re relaxed, personal, and wildly romantic. You get the best of both worlds: all the big feels of a wedding without the stress of wrangling 150 guests, a cake tower, and a DJ who insists on playing “Cha Cha Slide” (again).

Why Micro Weddings Are Colorado’s Best-Kept Secret

1. Say Goodbye to Wedding Chaos– Forget color-coded spreadsheets and endless guest lists. With a micro wedding, it’s all about spending the day with your favorite people (or just your favorite person!). No fuss, just love—and maybe some champagne.
2. Dream Locations Galore– Want to exchange vows on a mountaintop? Done. In a golden aspen grove? Easy. On a private patio overlooking the Rockies? Say no more. A smaller crowd means more flexibility for epic locations that wouldn’t work with 200 people tagging along.
3. Big Impact, Small Scale– When you’re not stretching your budget across hundreds of guests, you can go all-in on the fun stuff. Think gourmet dinners, a live acoustic guitarist, custom cocktails, or splurging on that jaw-dropping floral arch. Bonus: you’ll actually remember these details, instead of racing from one thing to the next.

Top Colorado Spots for Micro Wedding Magic

• Garden of the Gods: Giant red rock formations? Check. Dramatic sunsets? Double check.
• Rocky Mountain National Park: Hike a little, find your perfect spot, and say “I do” surrounded by nature’s best work.
• Telluride: A charming mountain town with views that are pure postcard material. Plus, gondola rides for you and your guests? Yes, please.
• Aspen: Golden aspen trees in the fall, luxury vibes, and plenty of spots for an epic photoshoot.

My Love for Documenting Micro Weddings

Here’s the deal: micro weddings are my jam. There’s something so special about capturing the laughter, the happy tears, and those in-between moments that only happen when the day is laid-back and full of heart. Whether it’s your mom’s teary smile during the vows, your best friend’s speech that has everyone laughing, or your partner sneaking you a look that says, “Wow, I am so lucky”—these are the moments that make your wedding yours.

One of my favorite micro weddings took place in the mountains during the summer. The couple brought their dogs as their ring bearers (complete with a flower collar—yes, it was adorable), and their closest friends toasted them over a cozy dinner under twinkling string lights. It was personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable—and it didn’t need a single ounce of glittery over-the-topness to be magical.
