Intimate Camp Hale Wedding

Meléna and Justin’s Camp Hale wedding kicked off in the sweetest way. Before the ceremony, they did a “first touch”—standing just around the corner from each other, holding hands without peeking, and saying a prayer together. It felt grounding, like you could almost feel the peace settle in around them. Later, during the ceremony, Justin’s aunt came up to pray over the whole family, and it was so moving. Their wedding was centered around this shared sense of love and faith, tying everyone together in such an intentional way.

Camp Hale sits right in the middle of these massive peaks, and the weather put on a whole show that day. The morning started with a soft gray sky and a little summer rain—cozy, romantic, kind of magical. Then, in true Colorado fashion, the clouds rolled away just in time for the vows, and suddenly everything was glowing in the afternoon sun. Everyone just kept looking around, a little stunned at how beautiful it all was. It felt like the mountains were part of the celebration, shifting right along with the day.

Even though the rain kept me from catching every little detail, Meléna’s dress was so, so pretty—you could just tell it suited her perfectly. Paired with the florals, it felt effortless and elegant against the rugged mountain backdrop. And those flowers were stunning. The whole vibe was “summer rain meets the mountains,” which honestly feels like the most Colorado thing ever.

Instead of jetting off somewhere far, Meléna and Justin kept the mountain magic going. Right after the wedding, they tucked away in Vail for a few days, then headed to Breckenridge for nearly a week. Slow mornings, soaking up the views, just enjoying being together in Colorado. Their wedding and honeymoon really went hand in hand: intimate, faith-filled, and rooted right in the beauty of the mountains they love so much.
