Tucked away in the mountains of Aspen, Colorado, Courtenay and Phil’s intimate elopement at Smiths Cabin was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they embraced a day filled with adventure, laughter, and breathtaking views at 12,000 feet. From playful yard games to a heartfelt first look, a stunning mountain ceremony, and a unique piñata celebration, every moment was filled with joy and love. As the sun set, they toasted their new journey together with a cozy evening in a tent under the stars. This elopement was a perfect blend of adventure and romance, creating memories to last a lifetime.

The Smith Cabin is quite a unique and fun cabin at the top of a mountain in Aspen, Colorado. It is just over 12,000 ft elevation and takes a 4×4 vehicle to get to the top of the hill and snowmobiles in the winter to get there. They only take on about 3 events per year due to permitting and its totally worth a look.
