January 15, 2026

Jess and Josh planned a wedding that was joyful, relaxed, and deeply rooted in everything they love about Crested Butte. With wildflowers, mountain views, incredible food, and their favorite people all in one place, their day was all about having fun, being present, and celebrating their love in the town that means so much to them.

Their Story

Jess and Josh met through one of Jess’s closest friends from residency. Josh had gone to medical school with her, and when Jess first moved to Colorado, her friend introduced them at breakfast. From that first meeting, they were instantly hooked.

Crested Butte quickly became a huge part of their story. It’s their favorite mountain town, and it’s where they got engaged while hiking. Their connection to the mountains, food, and shared experiences shaped every part of their wedding day.

Crested Butte Wedding

This Crested Butte wedding was inspired by the town itself and its famous wildflowers. Jess and Josh wanted a day that felt relaxed, joyful, and full of dancing with their friends and family.

Jess got ready at the Vaquera House, where they also planned a private first look before the ceremony. Their ceremony took place at Town Ranch and incorporated Jewish traditions.

Food was a huge part of the day for them. They are passionate about great food and have built friendships with chefs they love, including the chef cooking their reception meal. Their reception featured passed appetizers, an attended buffet, and a focus on enjoying dinner together before opening the dance floor with a horah.

Their priorities were simple and heartfelt: capturing real emotions, being surrounded by their people, and celebrating all night.
