We connected with the Nelson family back in 2017 when Debbie helped us find our dream home in Silverthorne. We’ve stayed in touch ever since and we were delighted when we got the call that Tyler & Emily were engaged. The two, having dated for many years and growing up in Summit County, wanted to keep it local and break in the new Aerie Wedding Venue on Copper Mountain, which her father helped develop for the ski resort.
Aerie on Copper Mountain is a breathtaking venue. Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, it offers stunning views that make for the perfect backdrop to any wedding. On Tyler and Emily’s big day, we were blessed with incredible weather—clear skies, gentle breezes, and warm sunshine that made the mountain landscape even more majestic.
The way Tyler looked at Emily as she walked down the aisle, the tears they both shared during their vows, and the pure happiness on their faces as they were pronounced husband and wife. These are the memories that make wedding photography so rewarding.
After the ceremony, the celebration moved indoors, where the charm of Aerie’s reception hall provided the perfect setting for a night of unforgettable fun.
Tyler and Emily’s guests knew how to have a good time, with the help of their favorite local band, El Paso Lasso, and the dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. There were dance-offs, jump roping, and some truly epic moshing that had everyone cheering and laughing.
Congrats you two on your beautiful Summer Wedding at Copper Mountain. We were blown away by all the emotion, love and moments these two shared. The new Aerie Wedding Venue is an amazing space and we hope to be back soon to document another wedding.
