It’s no secret that weddings have grown a bit uncontrollable. When talking to couples, one of the complaints I hear most often is how overwhelming planning a wedding can be. But the secret that the wedding industry wants to keep from you is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Take Natasha and Doug’s…
Going to as many weddings as we do, we get to see a lot of really cool ways that couples make their weddings unique. Jenn and Erik’s Evergreen Lake House wedding was no different. In fact, it held a lot of firsts for us. It was the first time we had a bride wear a…
You know you’ve got some great friends when they abandon 80-degree weather in February for 30 degrees and a blizzard. Most of the time, people try to go the other way. But not Amy and Ken’s friends and family, who trekked from New Orleans (and even further afield) to Colorado for their Estes Park wedding….
With the unpredictable fall weather settling in and snow the day before, we weren’t sure what to expect at Alyssa and Kevin’s fall wedding at Crooked Willow Farms. When we arrived, it looked like some blue sky was trying to peek out, but by the time all the activities started, we were encased in a…
Jesse and I met Andrea and Chad in-person for the first time on the day of their wedding. They had traveled from Bellingham, Washington, to our equally beautiful state of Colorado for their Rocky Mountain National Park elopement. When we first spoke with them on the phone, I knew we were kindred spirits when I…
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…
When Jesse and I were scouting for Renee and Caleb’s Edgewood Inn wedding last Friday in Woodland Park, we ran into the typical Colorado mountain weather. First it was sunny and hot, then the clouds blew in. Then we had some nice sprinkles, which turned into a downpour and, suddenly, a torrent of hail. And…
On our drive up to Kelly and Nick’s Boettcher Mansion wedding on the top of Lookout Mountain, we were a little concerned that we wouldn’t have the views of the mountains we were hoping for. The day was chilly, considering the 90-degree temps we’ve been having all summer, and the mountain was blanketed by clouds….
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…
Catherine’s a girl who knows what she wants and goes after that, and that’s something I hold in the highest regard. Her persistence was evident in the many stories shared at Catherine & Kacey’s Chief Hosa Lodge wedding. And even though it was snowy and cold outside, the lodge was warmed by the fire and…
Here’s some life advice: marry someone who will have inflatable raptor fights with you. Leigh and Tyler are lucky to have found their raptor fight partners in each other. Their dinosaur-themed Shadow Mountain Ranch wedding was the perfect laid-back party to celebrate their marriage. The day started with their first look by a quiet stream…
Perhaps the most amazing thing about weddings in Colorado is the fantastic natural beauty of the surroundings. Katy and Adam’s River Bend wedding was no different. Not only was the location impressive, combining red sandstone, a cool river, and bright green trees, they made sure to incorporate Colorado’s wild nature into their wedding details. The…
