Wedding in the Switzerland of America
vows as a fox ran by, champagne at a waterfall, facetime from the ouray sign
Summer weddings in Ouray, Colorado are so gosh dang magical. You really can’t go wrong with this place as the backdrop to your wedding or elopement! These two came in all the way from Chicago, rented the cutest Airbnb in Ridgway (complete with photogenic vans out front), and explored the area a few days before our time together so that they could find spots that meant something to them and their story.
They said their vows as a fox ran by, drove along the cliffy Million Dollar Highway, popped some champagne next to a waterfall, signed their marriage license on a rock wall, ran around lakes, facetimed families from the infamous “Switzerland of America” sign, and so much more!
