An Unforgettable Avon Micro-Wedding Full of Love, Dogs, and Jaw-Dropping Views

 

Noah & Jamie’s Wedding: Proof That Intimate Can Be Absolutely Epic

Some weddings feel like a warm hug — and Noah and Jamie’s intimate celebration was exactly that kind of magic. They chose to skip the overwhelming guest list and opted for a micro-wedding that was heartfelt, relaxed, and incredibly meaningful. If you’re dreaming of a small wedding that still brings big vibes, this one’s for you.

With both of Jamie’s parents living in the picturesque Avon area, getting ready was a sweet blend of nostalgia and calm. Jamie spent the morning at her mom’s cozy home, while Noah suited up just next door at her dad’s. And as if the stars aligned — the couple rented the house right beside Dad’s, which became their dreamy backyard-style reception venue. The venues were effortlessly chic, with wide-open views and that just-right intimate feeling that you can’t fake.

Now let’s talk about the views — because, wow. The ceremony site looked like it belonged on a Colorado wedding Pinterest board: sweeping skies, mountain air, and all the natural beauty you could ask for.

But the moment that truly melted hearts? Their first look. With each other, and with their beloved dogs. Just the two of them, their pups, and a quiet moment that said: this is our family, and this is our beginning. Their dogs, by the way, are living the high life — pampered, adored, and the real MVPs of the day.

Their inner circle showed up with so much love and joy, you’d think it was a 200-person bash. These were the kind of guests that hype you up and hold your hand — the ultimate vibe. And the ceremony? A rich tapestry of cultural traditions from both sides of the family, blending seamlessly into a ceremony that was inclusive, soulful, and deeply personal.

Noah and Jamie’s wedding proves something important: small doesn’t mean simple. It means intentional. Intimate. Impactful.

welcome

Intimacy and adventure is what I am all about. I absolutely love families who are just fun, who are real and let it fly.  I want to see you!  They don’t mind if they get their dress dirty. They may be down for a short hike and are not afraid of getting in the water at the end of your session, you are my people. They don’t mind if things don’t go perfectly and that is just perfect. 

The best parts of life are the parts that surprise us, and the best photos are usually the ones we didn’t know were coming.
