Jayme and Malcolm’s Wedding at Ragged Mountain Events
A High-Country Union Surrounded by Aspen Views
Finding a venue that captures the wild beauty of Colorado while offering pure rustic luxury is a dream for any couple. For Jayme and Malcolm, planning their wedding at Ragged Mountain Events was the ultimate celebration of their journey together. From meeting as rookie raft guides to an epic mountaintop proposal, having sweeping mountain vistas and golden autumn fields set the stage for an unforgettable day.
Planning a Wedding at Ragged Mountain Events
Choosing a wedding at Ragged Mountain Events gives couples an expansive, private mountain landscape filled with natural beauty. Situated near the Gunnison National Forest, Ragged Mountain Events features rolling meadows, dramatic mountain backdrops, and rustic ranch charm. Consequently, the open valley provided Jayme and Malcolm with a peaceful setting to exchange vows under the open sky.
From Whitewater Raft Guides to a Buckskin Pass Proposal
Their story began in May 2017 when they met as rookie raft guides at Aspen Whitewater Rafting. They spent so much time joking around that trainers had to separate them into different rafts.
Years later, Malcolm popped the question at the top of Buckskin Pass on the final day of a four-day hike along the Four Pass Loop. With their best man and maid of honor hiding with a camera and champagne, Malcolm dropped to one knee against the backdrop of the Maroon Bells.
Golden Hour Portraits and Panoramic Vistas
The wedding day began with joyful preparations as Jayme looked stunning in her classic gown and flowing veil, paired with Malcolm in his sharp suit. Following their heartfelt outdoor ceremony, we walked through the open fields for portraits against the rugged mountain peaks.
Moreover, taking advantage of the golden afternoon light created breathtaking frames of the newly married couple embracing amidst the wilderness. Every photo reflected their effortless connection and shared joy.
A Vibrant Reception Under Warm Market Lights
As evening set in, guests gathered under a warm blanket of bistro lights to celebrate. The reception space combined rustic elegance with high-energy fun, bringing everyone straight to the dance floor.
Additionally, delicious tacos, custom drinks, and lively music kept the party going late into the night. Documenting every sweet smile, candid dance move, and glowing sparkler moment was a true joy.
