If you’re a nature lover dreaming of an adventurous wedding surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, Sammie and Mitch’s wedding in Silverton, Colorado, will inspire you. On August 31, 2024, I had the honor of photographing and filming their special day—a celebration that perfectly captured their free-spirited love and connection to the great outdoors.

Silverton: A Mountain Lover’s Paradise

Nestled in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, Silverton is a haven for couples who crave the beauty of untamed wilderness. Sammie and Mitch’s wedding was held against a backdrop of rugged peaks, vibrant wildflowers, and golden aspen groves. As they exchanged vows under the open sky, the crisp mountain air and stunning vistas created a setting that felt both intimate and infinite.

Adventure at the Heart of Their Day

For Sammie and Mitch, their wedding was more than a celebration—it was an adventure. From their sunrise hike to take in the mountain views to dancing beneath a canopy of stars, every moment reflected their love for nature and each other. As a photographer and videographer, I thrive on capturing these raw, unfiltered moments of joy and connection.

The Art of Capturing Wild Love

There’s something magical about photographing and filming couples in the wild. The mountains bring out an energy and authenticity that can’t be staged. With Sammie and Mitch, I aimed to preserve not just the details of their day but also the spirit of their love story—the laughter, the stolen glances, and the sense of awe they felt surrounded by Colorado’s rugged beauty.
