T-Lazy 7 Ranch | Aspen, CO | Sasha + Charlie Elopement | Summit Photo & Film
Some wedding days just feel like an adventure from start to finish, and Charlie and Sasha’s elopement at T-Lazy-7 Ranch in Aspen was exactly that. If you’ve never been to T-Lazy-7, it’s one of those places that feels straight out of a postcard—tall pines, snow-covered peaks, and that perfect mix of rustic and elegant. February in Aspen usually means deep winter, but on their wedding day, we had some uncharacteristically warm weather. Of course, warm in Aspen still means plenty of snow, which was perfect for the vision these two had for their day. They originally planned to ride snowmobiles all the way to Maroon Bells, but thanks to avalanche danger, the road was closed. No big deal—Charlie and Sasha rolled with it, and we still got some absolutely stunning shots with Pyramid Peak in the background. I swear, these two could’ve gotten married in a parking lot, and it still would have been beautiful because of the way they look at each other.
After their intimate ceremony, we made a quick stop at the courthouse to make it all official before heading to a place that meant the world to Charlie—the firehouse. As a firefighter, this spot was more than just a cool backdrop; it was part of his story. There’s something about shooting in a place that holds personal meaning that makes wedding photography even more special. Seeing Sasha standing in front of the fire trucks in her dress, with Charlie beaming next to her, was one of those moments that just felt right. It was the perfect mix of their love story and real life coming together in the most beautiful way. Before wrapping up the night, we made a stop at Hotel Jerome, where they were staying, and grabbed a few photos in the stunning lobby. The rich, historic vibes of the hotel made for such a cozy contrast to the snowy mountain backdrop earlier in the day.
The whole day was a reminder that the best weddings aren’t about rigid plans or perfect conditions; they’re about two people celebrating their love in a way that feels true to them. Charlie and Sasha embraced every twist and turn with smiles on their faces, and that energy showed in every single photo. I always tell couples that their wedding day will be uniquely theirs, and this one was no exception. From mountain backdrops to firehouse memories to the elegance of Hotel Jerome, their elopement had everything—adventure, love, and a whole lot of fun. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels like you, T-Lazy-7 Ranch (and a little bit of flexibility) might just be the perfect spot.
