Private Vows in Crested Butte || A Colorado Intimate Wedding

There’s something sacred about exchanging vows in private. Just the two of you, no pressure, just love. That’s exactly what Carter and Faith created during their time in Crested Butte, Colorado.

Before their intimate wedding ceremony at Mountain Wedding Garden, they carved out space for a quiet moment together—just them and the mountains. Their private vow exchange in Crested Butte was raw and honest, a beautiful moment just for them. No audience. No distractions.

A Slow, Meaningful Start in the Mountains

Crested Butte already held meaning for Carter and Faith, so it felt only natural to begin their wedding weekend hiking its trails, soaking in the crisp alpine air, and sharing intentional time with the people they love most. But this particular moment—their private vows—was just for them.

They found a quiet spot tucked away from the rest of the world, surrounded by towering peaks and late-summer wildflowers. It was peaceful and simple, and completely Carter and Faith. 

Why Private Vows Matter

There’s power in pausing the day, stepping away from even your closest people, and remembering why you’re here. For Carter and Faith, that quiet exchange gave them space to be fully present, to speak freely, to cry and laugh without holding back.

Private vows aren’t about perfection. They’re about presence.

Their moment was heartfelt and real. Just like the rest of their intimate wedding day. 

Back to the Mountain Wedding Garden

Later that day, Carter and Faith joined their family and friends at Mountain Wedding Garden for an equally beautiful ceremony, but with a different kind of energy—warm, communal, and joyful. Faith’s handmade florals and personal touches were everywhere. You can read more about the rest of their day here! 

But I keep coming back to that earlier moment—the quiet one, the private one. The one in the mountains where they promised forever to each other, without needing anything more than each other.
