Crooked Willow Farms Wedding

Kirsten and Mike are a beautiful anomaly. They’re charming and friendly, but could easily kick your ass. They don’t call attention to themselves, yet you can’t help but notice them. And they’re just as comfortable wielding a bow as they are riding a horse. Their Crooked Willow Farms Wedding was no different.

Kirsten and Mike put so many personal touches into their wedding day. Ranging from the small (Mike’s ring was inlaid with a portion of the tusk from a boar he shot during their very first hunting trip together) to the much larger (Kirsten rode in on a horse and the look in her eye clearly said, “Mike, we’re getting one of these very soon.”), everything at the wedding had a reason behind it. Some even looked to the future while paying homage to the past (Kirsten’s bouquet included a brooch from her grandmother and was made with the intention of passing it down through generations, with each generation adding their own brooch).

But in true Kirsten and Mike style, they made sure the event was just as memorable for their friends and family. Guests got to have a true Colorado foodie experience with whiskey- and wine-tasting stations, a sausage-tasting station, and hand-rolled cigars, all during cocktail hour. Not content with the usual fare of “chicken or beef,” their dinner included local venison and trout.

As the dance party wound up, we tempted the newlyweds and the groomsmen out to a field with the aforementioned hand-rolled cigars for one bad-ass nighttime shot. Not that it took much convincing…

To Kirsten and Mike, thank you so much for having us at your epic Crooked Willow Farms wedding. We hope these photos make Harvey Specter proud!

    Wedding days will go wrong. They’ll be imperfect. But with the right attitude, they can be more enjoyable and create more lasting memories than a “perfect” wedding day. Nothing could have illustrated this better than Emily and Luther’s Wild Basin Lodge wedding last weekend! The Wednesday before their wedding found me shopping for snow chains…

    When we got Jamie and Eric’s Purgatory Resort wedding invitation in the mail, it had the Milky Way as the background and promised “Dinner, Dancing, and Meteor Shower to Follow” the ceremony. They couldn’t have picked a better spot (Dante’s Peak) or day (one of the peak nights of the Perseid meteor shower) to make…

    I doubt it’s a surprise to anyone that my favorite thing about living in Colorado is all the amazing views of the mountains. There are far too many epic vistas to count. With each new wedding, however, we do our best to find a spot we’ve never photographed before. Jean Marie and Jamie’s Black Canyon…

  • Copper Mountain Wedding

    I can’t help it. I obsessively check the weather before a wedding. Probably more than the couple does. Sometimes, it’s because I’m hoping for a few degrees of relief (I’m lookin’ at you, Denver in July). Sometimes, like for Melisa and Sam’s Copper Mountain wedding, it’s just to see if it’s going to rain, snow,…
