Danielle and Gabe had the picture perfect summer mountain lake wedding a few weeks ago up at Piney River Ranch. They’ve been a blast to work with since their engagement session in Frisco last fall.

Danielle never stopped smiling the entire time she and the ladies were getting ready. Gabe got to play catch with the Gore Range as a backdrop which was something he mentioned to me when we first met. Add in a canoe ride as newlyweds and a few moose sightings and you’ll understand how great of a day they had.

Shayna and her team with Cherry Bomb Events did incredible job coordinating everything and making the space look incredible.

Cheers Danielle and Gabe. Thanks for letting us be a small part in your special day.

There were a few nerves but once they saw each other during their first look the rest of the day was full of energy. Their smiles and…

Mountain Wedding near Vail, CO | Becky and Brian

Last week after photographing the Denver Broncos season opener I made the drive west up I-70 with Travis to Vail for Becky and Brian’s Piney River Ranch wedding. The next morning Mother Nature greeted us with blue skies on our walk through Vail Village over to The Lodge at Vail where both wedding parties were getting ready. The ladies had a great view of the mountain while they did hair and makeup. Travis was with the guys a floor below for most of the morning but called me down to help give a bow tie lesson since they were having some trouble.
