Two weekends into 2023 and we’re already two weddings into the new season, thanks to Morgan and Brad’s winter wedding in Denver. As far as wedding days go, these two planned one of the best: ✓ Good friends, ✓ Good food,✓ Good wine, and ✓ Stunning ambiance. For Morgan and Brad’s portrait sessions (that’s right,…
For the third year in a row, Jesse and I had the honor of spending New Year’s Eve celebrating the beginning of a marriage in a breathtaking location (see 2021 and 2022). This year’s festivities took us to Vail for Melissa and Ben’s Donovan Pavilion wedding. In years’ past, we’ve tried out allllll the New…
There’s that old adage that good things come to those who wait. But poor Sheridan and Danny ended up waiting four years for their Cielo at Castle Pines wedding. Nevertheless, one deployment, two COVID reschedules, and one adorable little baby later, their celebration was absolutely worth the wait! And while I could talk about how…
Ashley and Eric’s Della Terra wedding in Estes Park wrapped up the bulk of our wedding season, which got me thinking a lot about weddings. And the conclusion I came to is that weddings and quests have a lot in common. They’re both the beginning of a new adventure. But it’s important to keep in…
The Hotel Colorado is known for its many famous guests. From Teddy Roosevelt, who stayed often enough that it became known as the “White House of the West,” to the unsinkable Molly Brown, to notorious gangster Al Capone. At the beginning of this month, it added Kristen and David and their wedding guests to the…
Weddings can be a lot of things. They can be poignant, joyful, exciting, stressful, uplifting – sometimes all of these at once. But the best word to describe Andi and Kevin’s fall wedding at Boettcher Mansion is short and simple: Fun. That’s it. It was just plain fun. Andi and Kevin were fun. Especially when…
Ciara and Jonathan’s Telluride wedding had all the things I love to see in a wedding. Not the details or the view (although those were gorgeous, anyway). After all, when the cake has been devoured and the flowers have withered and the last song has played, the things that remain from a wedding day are…
I think the most common question I get during timeline consultations is, “Is it too late to elope?” This is typically asked in jest; the final weeks leading up to a wedding can get pretty overwhelming. But if you’re like Laura and Connor, you probably know right away that a big wedding isn’t for you….
Most of the time, in Colorado, rain in the forecast means that you need to postpone the ceremony by about 15 minutes for a torrential downpour to do its thing and move on. Then all you have to do is get the chairs wiped down and you’re good to go! But for Michelle and Joe’s…
If you were on Carly and Elliot’s guest list for their Breckenridge Nordic Center wedding, you are a very lucky person. First off, you got to make a trip to Breckenridge on a beautiful holiday weekend. You enjoyed the bluebird skies, the warmth of the sun, and the crisp, cool evening. Not to mention the…
When we first heard about Narcissa and Bassil’s Dunafon Castle wedding, we were already familiar with and fans of the venue’s vibes. I love telling people about the Dunafon Castle, especially where it’s located. It’s such a surprise. Right in the middle of a windy mountain road is a castle surrounded by lush grounds, waterfalls,…
One of the best things about owning your own business is getting to make the decisions. We had officially closed our books for 2022 weddings when Shelley and Jonathan reached out to see if we were available for their Redstone Inn Wedding. We had the date open and had never been to Redstone before, so…
