Nestled between the peaks of Woodland Park, a stunning VRBO home sets the stage for Theresa and Brian’s long-awaited day. Their classic Colorado mountain wedding was a celebration of love, friendship, and the incredible natural beauty that surrounded them. From heartfelt vows to their pups as witnesses, every detail was carefully planned to create an unforgettable experience. An extra fun element as their photographer, was that Theresa grew up close to my hometown in Missouri!

The Setting: Mountain Views

Beauty like the Rocky Mountains is unmatched, and to be enveloped by them while getting married is a dream. Whether it was through the windows of the great room, just beyond the ceremony site, or while Theresa danced with her dad, the views just did not stop. We had varying weather but the mountains stayed ruggedly blue and vast. When a rain storm moved in and brought quick showers, it cast moody light and shadows across the range. A rainbow even stretched the expanse at rain slowed.

First Look: A Surprise

Not many weddings can claim 3 first looks, but that’s exactly what they did. Brian could not have been more surprised to find Peanut instead of Theresa when he turned around the first time. But then Theresa did the actual first look where they had intimate moments to read their vows to each other. This was a really meaningful way to be just the two of them before guests started filling the seats.

She also planned a special look with her dad, gifting him a tie and message embroidered specifically for him. There’s something unique about dads and daughters, and the connection between them was evident.

The Guests: Furry Friends as Witnesses

In the sate of Colorado your fur babes can actually sign as a witness. So Peanut and Buddy, after walking down as ring bearer and flower girl, officially printed their paws on the marriage certificate. It took a couple tries and some maneuvering but what a sweet moment for Theresa and Brian.

The Reception: Celebrating Love and Friendship

There were many unique elements to this wedding, and each one meant something deep to Brian and Theresa. The reception was fun, authentic, and full of life. First dances, joyful reunions, and an ice cream truck with custom toppings. The party went on longer than I was present but documenting each moment was an honor.
