There’s something really incredible about a wedding that is truly about the couple. Carter and Faith’s Crested Butte intimate wedding at Mountain Wedding Garden was exactly that: deeply personal, beautifully simple, and overflowing with love.
With the stunning mountain views of Crested Butte, Colorado, as their backdrop, they created a day that was slow, intentional, and full of heart.
Nothing was rushed. No strict timelines. Just love, connection, and the kind of presence that so many couples hope for. Their Mountain Wedding Garden intimate wedding wasn’t just about saying “I do” — it was about being with the people who matter most.
From the start, Carter and Faith knew they didn’t want a traditional wedding day. They wanted something that felt calm, real, and deeply rooted in the people and places they love. Crested Butte was an easy choice — a place that already held meaning for them, with its wildflowers, open skies, and quiet mountain charm.
Their vision? A day that was slow, unrushed, and full of intention. And that’s exactly what they created.
One of the most beautiful parts of their wedding story was how they didn’t just focus on the ceremony. Carter and Faith made a whole experience out of the days surrounding it. With only their closest friends and family by their side, they spent the days leading up to the wedding hiking together, soaking in the scenery, and savoring the quiet moments before the big day.
When it came time for the ceremony, the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. Mountain Wedding Garden offered stunning views, a peaceful atmosphere, and a space that felt natural and inviting, just like Carter and Faith.
It’s the little things that made this Crested Butte intimate wedding so special. Faith’s florals — created with her own hands — were a reflection of her creativity and care. They planned every detail with care — from the colorful invitations to the paper airplanes guests tossed during their exit.
The slower pace of the day allowed everyone to savor it all. Conversations weren’t hurried. Hugs lasted a little longer. And love felt present in every corner of the garden.
Carter and Faith’s day is a beautiful reminder that weddings don’t have to be big or busy to be meaningful. Sometimes, the most powerful moments come in the quietest ways — when you take time to breathe, to be still, and to hold close the people who mean the most.
