Samantha & Jason’s Late Summer Wedding at Villa Parker: A Perfect Blend of Love, Hockey, and Sneakers

When Samantha and Jason first reached out to me about their wedding, I knew right away it was going to be a day to remember. This was a couple who knew exactly who they were—and they were determined to make their wedding a true reflection of their personalities and love story.

Held at the stunning Villa Parker in Colorado, their late summer wedding was a perfect mix of elegance, fun, and personal touches. From their love of hockey to Samantha’s rebellious take on traditional bridal fashion, every moment of the day was uniquely them.

A Hockey-Inspired Love Story

If you know Samantha and Jason, you know that hockey is a huge part of their lives. From their first date to their weekend plans, it’s clear that the rink holds a special place in their hearts. So, it only made sense that hockey would play a role in their wedding day. (GO BRUINS!)

In lieu of table numbers, they opted for hockey teams. This subtle change was so iconic and so them. I love a theme that isnt so in your face but is something personal to the couple.

Samantha’s Bold, Beautiful, and Totally “Her” Look

Samantha wasn’t your typical bride, and that’s what made her look so effortlessly stunning. While most brides opt for heels or fancy shoes, Samantha decided to wear sneakers—and they were a perfect choice! She wasn’t interested in the traditional “girly” look, and she totally owned it. The moment she slipped on those white sneakers, she was glowing with confidence, ready to walk down the aisle in a way that was true to herself.

Her gown was a gorgeous blend of timeless elegance and modern style, with a fitted bodice and flowing skirt that moved beautifully with her every step. But those sneakers? They added the perfect personal touch. Samantha was ready to get down on the dance floor, and there was no way she was doing it in uncomfortable shoes.

It was a beautiful reminder that your wedding day should reflect your personality. It’s about feeling comfortable and confident, and Samantha absolutely nailed it.

Villa Parker: A Timeless Venue for a Memorable Day

The setting at Villa Parker was absolutely breathtaking. This historic venue offers a mix of classic charm and rustic elegance, which was the perfect backdrop for Samantha and Jason’s celebration. From the lush greenery of the outdoor ceremony space to the grand reception hall, every inch of Villa Parker added to the magic of the day.

As the sun set over the mountains, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by their closest friends and family. The day was full of heartfelt moments, from the emotional speeches to the joyful celebration on the dance floor. But through it all, the one thing that stood out the most was the pure, unwavering love between Samantha and Jason.

A Day of Fun, Laughter, and Heartfelt Moments

What I loved most about Samantha and Jason’s wedding was the way they blended elegance with authenticity. There were so many beautiful details—the florals, the lighting, the breathtaking views—but at the heart of it all was their love for each other. The way they laughed, the way they looked at each other, the way their families came together to support them—it was a day filled with heart.

As the night ended, with guests still dancing and enjoying the moment, I couldn’t help but reflect on how amazing it is when couples truly embrace who they are. Samantha and Jason’s wedding was not just a celebration of their love; it was a celebration of their personalities, their interests, and their unique journey together.
