Chelsy & Evan’s Dunbar Ranch wedding on May 31st was straight-up magic. If you’ve never been to Dunbar Ranch before, picture this: a private mountain estate just outside Aspen, surrounded by open space, spring in full bloom, and the occasional bit of wildlife wandering through the backdrop. The sunshine showed up in full force, lighting up every corner of the property and making everything feel extra vibrant. Honestly, it was one of those perfect Colorado days that just makes filming a total dream.
A Perfect Dunbar Ranch Wedding Day in Aspen
Everything about this Dunbar Ranch wedding felt relaxed and heartfelt. Chelsy & Evan brought such great energy, and their guests, who traveled from all over, added to the warm, easygoing vibe. From the start of the day through the evening, there was a natural flow that made everything feel effortless.
One of my favorite moments was the Rapid Grass Band playing live during the ceremony and then keeping the tunes rolling into the evening. Bluegrass music echoed through the mountains as everyone mingled, toasted, and danced. Because of that, the entire atmosphere felt both elevated and completely laid-back at the same time.

From a videographer’s perspective, the setting, the people, and the pace of the day just clicked. Not only did the light cooperate all day, but the movement and energy of the event also translated beautifully on film. As a result, the footage turned out incredibly natural and full of life.
