Their Story

Jeff and Zoe met by chance in 2019, as she was attending an interpersonal development workshop, and he was the facilitator. There was an initial spark, that both couldn't shake - and for months they messaged each other on Slack in a group created from the weekend retreat. It wasn't until Zoe drummed up the courage from a conversation with a girlfriend to ask him out the next time they were both in the same city. As it turned out, they were both in NYC for work the following week. It felt kismet. They went to a cute old-school restaurant in the West Village, Minetta Tavern, stayed out all night to a classic New York way, and the rest was history. They started seeing each other long distance between San Francisco, where the groom was, and Denver, where the bride was based. Fast forward to the beginning of the pandemic and the two found themselves as overnight roommates. One thing lead to another, and they decided to embrace the nomadic lifestyle early into 2020, with their first stop being the Roaring Fork Valley, Old Snowmass to be exact. They fell in love with this part of Colorado, as did their Bernese Mountain Dog, Miles. Although they traveled thousands of miles across the country in the last two years, Snowmass and Aspen always had their heart. So when Jeff popped the question, and they began brainstorming their wedding vision, Aspen kept coming up. Their stunning Little Nell Aspen wedding was planned by Julian Leaver, and captured by us, Betsi Ewing Weddings.
