She is a delightful combination of sunshine, calmness, and positivity amidst all the chaos that a wedding day brings. Not only was Marta an amazing added positive energy to the experience, her eye and ability to capture the moments within the moments is so beautifully pictured in our photos. I felt so confident that her eye was on the lookout for all of those tiny details and even our preview shots showed that so perfectly. I cannot wait for our paths to cross again.

As a guest, it was great. It was easy to find. It had lots of parking (and easy spots to park in). Nice views. Clean bathrooms. Places for shade. Close to the condos and the town. If I lived in Crested Butte this would definitely be the only option for a wedding venue! It is just so gorgeous. The only downside was the amount horseflies! I got mad bug bites allover during the ceremony. And I wasn't the only one. That was a common complaint amongst fellow guests. If you're considering this for your wedding, keep that in mind.

During the actual proposal, Lydia & T did a great job of capturing every moment while also making us feel like it was just the two of us. I didn't even realize they were there until after the proposal. After the fact, they had champagne flutes ready for us and more. I was in complete shock after the proposal but they helped guide us with where to take photos, how to pose, ring pictures and even got some action shots skiing. The whole proposal itself was just a whirlwind so it was amazing having them both there to guide us. We were very excited to get our photos back and it was safe to say they far exceeded our expectations! We can't stop staring at them! They truly made our families feel like they were there with us and allow us to relive our engagement every day. Simply cannot recommend them enough!!

We were lucky to have an initial meeting with her in person at the venue in CA, since we live in NC. She listened to what we wanted, and created a detailed proposal for all the arrangements, with photos of the flower choices, which was really helpful. After signing the contract, we were pretty hands-off. I was nervous about not being able to see the flowers until the wedding day, but I am so glad I just trusted in her, and we were blown away by the results. I really think Keegan successfully designed arrangements that reflected our personality and helped make our wedding unique and beautiful. Our mothers were so happy! Thank you, Keegan! (+) Easy to work with/communicate with via email, very responsive and thorough when answering questions (+) Great about sending photos as examples when clarifying items in the contract (+) She was able to use all of our favorite flowers that we requested in the arrangements (+) Stunning arrangements were the real wow factor and our guests were all impressed (+) We trusted her creative expertise, and the floral colors and textures turned out amazing together (+) We sent her samples of the bridesmaids dress color and tie colors for the groom and groomsmen, and she was able to use ribbons that were an exact match (+) When she delivered the flowers on the wedding day, she even gave us tips on how to hold the bouquets during the ceremony (-) The only thing we were not 100% satisfied with were the floral garlands.

We had an initial phone consultation with Keegan and explained what style and arrangements we were looking to incorporate into our special day. From that meeting we created a Pinterest board to share with her. She quickly put a document together with her ideas and quotes. From the document we could tell she absolutely nailed the style we were looking for. She provided a bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, flower girl head bands and baskets, centerpieces, garland for our sweetheart table, altar flowers, flowers for the pews, and cake flowers. We even had her decorate a wagon we bought on Etsy for our ring bearer to pull our pet turtle down the aisle. We visited her studio in Oakland to go over final details and to drop off our wagon and flower girl baskets so she could decorate them.
