I recently traveled up to Thunder Butte Mountain Lodge near Woodland Park Colorado to photograph an intimate wedding for a couple I met this summer. These two were high school sweethearts who grew up in my neighborhood so I had the chance to spend some time with them, as well as the bride’s Mom, before the wedding… and we hit it off! This couple is great together and you could tell from the vows (and the photos) how crazy in love they are!

The ceremony was sweet, the guests were fun-loving and the personal touches were something to remember. Handmade items included banners for their Celtic astrological signs, table decorations, and even the veil and shoes the bride wore. The ceremony included a binding of the hands ritual and Dad, who is a chef, prepared the dinner meal for guests.

A beautiful wedding, for a beautiful couple. Congratulations to the bride and groom!!!
