Stunning Gold Mountain Ranch Micro-Wedding

Ouray, Colorado September 2024

 Just when you think you’ve seen the prettiest views Southwest Colorado has to offer, you stumble upon Gold Mountain Ranch in Ouray, Colorado. This privately owned, luxury estate sits high above the mountain town and offers front row seats to the most breathtaking up close views of the San Juan Mountains. An incredible mountain paradise where K + M said “I do”. 

 It was peak color weekend in Southwest Colorado leaving the mountainside covered in vibrant patches of yellow and orange. The ceremony florals perfectly complemented the season’s surroundings, the sounds of a string quartet filled the air, and a live painter stood nearby to capture it all! A moody afternoon drizzle made an appearance while  K + M shared their vows, and we all cheered as the clouds parted just in time for them to share their “first” kiss. 

Their reception took place at The Historic Western Hotel in downtown Ouray. A preserved 1800’s hotel offering a vintage yet modern aesthetic. Fall florals adorned the light fixtures and doorways creating a magical setting for their reception dinner. Later that evening everyone gathered around the outdoor deck to enjoy some live music, dancing and warmth of the firepits. A truly stunning mountain wedding in every way!
