Alexis and Stephen
To kick off their week-long destination wedding in Aspen, Colorado, Alexis and Stephen hosted a laid-back rehearsal dinner for all 65 of their wedding guests. After a Jeep ride through the picturesque mountain scenery, guests enjoyed a fun, casual gathering at Lynn Britt Cabin on Snowmass. Live country music and a jaw-dropping sunset added to the rustic atmosphere.
