Estes Park Wedding at The Stanley Hotel

One of the coolest things about being a wedding photographer is building long-term relationships with our couples. From the outside looking in, it might appear to just be a one-day thing (i.e. show up at the wedding, take pictures, and that’s a wrap). But in actuality, when a couple brings us on to be their wedding photographer, that’s the beginning of a year, or two-year, or even longer, relationship. A perfect example of this is Zoe and Charlie’s Estes Park wedding at The Stanley Hotel.

We took Z&C’s engagement photos in the summer of 2024. It was one of our all-time favorite engagement sessions because 1) We shot it at our favorite downtown speakeasy-style bar, Seven Grand, and 2) Z&C were such a joy to be around. We had a couple cocktails, played some pool and, of course, took a lot of photos.

Fast forward a year to the summer of 2025, we had the pleasure of meeting back up with Zoe and Charlie for their maternity photo session at their new home in Littleton. We took portraits by the lake as well as some more “lifestyle”-type images in their new house to document their renovation process.

Fast-forward another year to the summer of 2026 and it was time for their Estes Park wedding at The Stanley Hotel. One of our favorite couples of all time at one of our favorite wedding venues of all time. The entire day was a joy from beginning to end. I could say more, but why not just scroll down and see for yourself.

Zoe and Charlie, thank you a million times for brining us on this journey with you. Hopefully we’ll see you again for family photos or, better yet, another cocktail and game of pool. Cheers to you three!
