Sometimes you meet someone and instantly know they’re going to leave an impression on your life. That’s how we felt when we met Natalie and Jon to talk about their Evergreen wedding photography. As fellow passionate creatives, we felt instantly drawn not only to their love story on camera but their lives.

Natalie and Jon had their first date at her parents’ house near Evergreen Colorado so it was only fitting that the estate play the part of venue on their special day, their wedding day. If you read any of my musings you know that I see the wedding venue as the setting of the love story. Like any good setting of any great story, it can set the mood or determine the fate or simply have layers of meaning for the main characters.

Capturing the moment of Natalie getting ready and then saying “I do” in this place was perfection. As she told me stories of the connections in her life and the ups and downs of the roads she’s traveled, I did my best to tell the story in my own way. This Evergreen wedding photography isn’t about what she wore or what the latest trends are, though Natalie did look incredible in her wedding dress.

Evergreen Wedding Photography

Instead, these amazing wedding photos tell a story of adventurous love. While we did walk in a meadow and get bugs in Natalie’s dress, that’s not the type of adventure I’m talking about. If you don’t know by now, let me just say that adventure isn’t just about the physical mountains that are the setting of many wedding days.

The physical mountains are only as impactful as the mountains we climb in our daily lives. The risks we take, the obstacles we overcome, and the decisions we make to be vulnerable all have an impact on where we are and where we are going. When we climb mountains we’re choosing to do hard things without guarantee of success or even views.

Instead, we use past experiences to tell ourselves it will be fun and worth it or we simply can’t not climb. Or without the double negative, we do it because we have to. Because not loving, not risking, not adventuring is simply not an option.

On to the Wedding Photos

We hope you enjoy these wedding photos. From the candid moments to the portraits, we love how their Evergreen wedding and engagement photos turned out. As wedding photographers, we tend to be critical of our work because they may seem like wedding photos but they’re memories.

As the day unfolds the timeline might be predictable. We start with getting ready, move on to a first look, have a ceremony, and end with a reception. The key is to look for what makes each couple unique and what makes each precious moment special.

Congrats to the bride and Groom

Thanks for stopping by to check out these wedding photos captured from Evergreen Colorado. What an epic wedding day and what a memorable couple (that looked absolutely beautiful)! Capturing this wedding was one of those long exhausting days as a wedding photographer that was totally and completely worth it.

Natalie and Jon and their family and friends reminded me of what I love about being a professional photographer. Whether it’s a wedding day or something else, I love capturing real life images. From the precious moments to the trials and tribulations, a photo can tell a story.

What a gift that I get to tell this story of joy, beauty, and love. Having a wedding photography business means we get to work with happy people on one of the happiest days of their lives: the wedding day.

On the blog today, Isa and Jake’s Boettcher Mansion wedding photography and videography. These two stole my heart. They are an adorable couple that makes you fall in love all over again. Hearing and witnessing their story is a breath of fresh air.

They complement each other while challenging each other. As Jake says, they both inspire and ground each other. That balance is beautiful in relationships and will strengthen the many many many years of marriage that lie ahead of these two.

They are nerds after my own heart and I’m so honored to have met them and helped celebrate their love. We actually ran into Jake at the climbing gym the other day. My heart instantly swelled, our clients don’t realize the impact that their love has on us. It’s such a gift.

Boettcher Mansion Wedding Videography

I hope you enjoy this Boettcher Mansion wedding video. Isa and Jake are adorable. Their wedding day was a delight which is evident from this 5 minute summary of their love.

This Evergreen Lakehouse wedding still makes me smile even though I’m blogging it well after the fact. We’re catching up on sharing more weddings on the blog and it’s been amazing to re-live these amazing wedding days. Recently we ran into Kelly and David at one of our favorite restaurants here in Evergreen, Switchback Smokehouse.

To say these two have good taste is an understatement. Or rather, it doesn’t complete the picture. What I love about Kelly and David is that they are focused on what appeals to them and what makes them happy. They own the idea of being themselves and living in their joy.

And here’s the thing, their joy is then shared with those around them. These two made us feel honored, respected, and valued. They were incredible clients and the kind I love to find.

Evergreen Lakehouse Wedding Photography

Enjoy the wedding photography from this epic day at the Lake House. Play close attention to the personal touches. Wedding planning isn’t about doing everything you see online but rather doing the things that make your wedding day feel special to you. These two nailed it.

As always, thanks for checking out the blog. Sorry that it took us so long to share this amazing wedding! What a blast it was and we hope you enjoyed viewing the photography.

Trevor and Lucille were married at the Lake House Evergreen Colorado. It was a majestic backdrop for their joyful wedding day. This couple was both filled with emotion and yet completely steady in their love.

I always love it when I can learn something from a couple. These two provided. Lucille had a clear vision for certain portions of the wedding day as many brides do. And at the same time when there was a challenge that Trevor brought to her, she kept her focused on her love.

It was amazing to watch how these two leaned on each other for support and a reminder of what is truly important. And I say leaned on each other symbolically because they chose not to do a first look so they communicated while holding hands but not looking at each other. It was truly magical and one of the reasons I never push couples to do a first look if they don’t want to.

Enjoy these photos where you get to witness Trevor and Lucille get married at the Lake House in Evergreen Colorado. What a beautiful day it was, and I’m not just talking about the setting. Cheers to the marriage ahead.

Today I’m sharing Cole and Taylor’s wedding at Evergreen Lake House, Colorado. In a recent wedding venue highlight I talked about the many things I love about this wedding venue. The Evergreen Lake House is a stunning and convenient backdrop for adventurous couples looking to get married in Evergreen, CO.

Cole and Taylor are a beautiful couple (inside and out) with contagious smiles. Their joy is evident in their wedding photography and being around them filled our cups. Having a pre-schooler (soon to be in kindergarten) makes me think about things like filling cups, and it really does matter.

Whenever I have the opportunity to be around people that exude love and joy I am reminded about how impactful that can be. To embody joy is wonderful, to spread it is life-giving. Cole and Taylor strike me as people who are loved because they are so good at loving. Be the friend you want to have and all that!

evergreen lake house colorado Wedding Pictures

Therefore, I’m excited to share these wedding photos from an amazing wedding day in Evergreen Colorado. I hope you’ll see the beauty of the lake, the couple, and the marriage. Even after shooting weddings for 13 years, I still am in awe that I get to witness relationships as they blossom.

Thanks for stopping by to check out Cole and Taylor’s Evergreen Lake House wedding in Colorado. Evergreen, Colorado is an amazing wedding destination that has mountain vibes without being too far from Denver. We are grateful wedding photographers, they are truly a special couple.

Today I’m excited to share one of my favorite weddings from last year. Yes, I’m still playing catch up on sharing wedding work… in fact I have a lot of catch up to play so we’ll see how far I actually get. But regardless, today let’s take a journey to the Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park with the guests of the beautiful and adventurous Nicole and Ryan.

Meeting Nicole and Ryan and getting to know them makes this Colorado wedding even more special to me. These two are now growing their family this spring and I can’t wait to see them grow as a couple. Weddings are so fun to witness because while a couple thinks they’re just decorating their wedding site, I know that they are learning how to work together for future challenges.

The entire night was filled with so much joy and smiles. From the setup to the dance party, love was is the air. Or in the barn? I don’t know, but love was everywhere and throughout this beautiful event and not even a huge thunderstorm could stop this amount of love.

The Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park Wedding Photography

Below are some pictures from this amazing wedding event at Evergreen Memorial Park. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, one of the reasons I love Evergreen for a wedding is that your guests don’t have to travel far to feel like they are nestled in the mountains. These two lovebirds are Evergreen locals so this property is even more like their backyard, but the Barn at Evergreen Memorial is still a beautiful and magical setting for a wedding.

Thanks for stopping by to check out Ryan and Nicole’s Evergreen Memorial Park wedding. The Barn at Evergreen Memorial was a great venue for telling their story. And we are so honored to have been their wedding photographers, they are truly a special couple.

When we moved our lives and our wedding photography business to Evergreen, CO, we didn’t know that the Evergreen Lake House would become one of our favorite wedding venues. As Colorado wedding photographers, you can imagine that we have high standards for what makes a great wedding venue.

Some of our favorite locations in the Colorado mountains for a wedding aren’t venues at all. We love helping couples elope in a beautiful setting off the grid. But we also love helping couples gather with their friends and families to support them, which often means finding a wedding venue with shelter, bathrooms, and parking lot among other simple comforts.

The Evergreen Lake House boasts a nice balance of comfort and nature that makes for a truly magical venue for your wedding ceremony. In this blog post, I’ll talk more about why we love shooting wedding photography at the Evergreen Lake house. Then, we’ll give some wedding planning tips. And of course, we’ll share some of our wedding photography from this special place.

Why We Love Weddings at Evergreen, CO Lake House

There are many challenges to getting married in Colorado’s rocky mountains. Many couples go on the search to a gorgeous venue dreaming of the perfect outdoor ceremony and celebratory reception nestled under the peaks. The problem is that a Colorado wedding is more complicated than that.

It might rain, snow, sleet, or throw any variety of weather conditions at you at any point in the year in Colorado. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love an adventure as much as anyone (probably more.) However, when it comes to weddings sometimes it’s nice to ensure the comfort of your guests.

Evergreen, Colorado is only an hour from the Denver airport or 30 minutes from downtown Denver and at an elevation of 7000 feet. While we’re still above the mile-high city, it’s not as bad as some higher-elevation wedding venues for your out-of-town guests that aren’t used to the altitude. You can have an outdoor ceremony on a mountain lake and still move indoors for dinner.

What Makes the Lake House Such a Beautiful Venue

Now, since wedding photography is our job, we always look at a wedding venue from the wedding photography standpoint. To be clear, the Evergreen Lake House doesn’t have big mountain views of giant rugged peaks, instead, it boasts rolling green mountains. So it may not be the most epic location to a wedding photographer that’s traveled to some of the world’s most magical places for weddings, but it’s a stunning venue nonetheless.

I personally love shooting at the Lake House because it’s incredibly familiar to me, being only a mile from my house. And at the same time, it is different every time I visit. Whether I’m anticipating fairytale snowfalls, enjoying the green of summer, or waiting for the ice skating rink to melt, I love the views from the lake.

As a wedding photographer, I love shooting both familiar are new locations as both provide entertaining space for my creativity. The Lake House has a lot of great angles from the outdoor deck or surrounding features to inside the building itself.

Tips for Planning a Lake House Wedding

As with any wedding planning, I always suggest deciding on what your priorities are so that you can allocate your budget accordingly. When it comes to checking all of the boxes, the Evergreen Lake House staff will give you a list of (and every provide an opportunity to meet) preferred caterers and other vendors. You don’t have to follow the list but if you do, you can be assured they’re used to working at the wedding venue.

The building has relatively simple decor with simple string lights, rustic mountain charm, and huge windows. You can decide how much or little work to do to transform it towards your wedding day vision. From there, it’s all about envisioning your wedding day and planning for a great experience.

Based on event date and your rental time (there are different time blocks) you’ll decide on other locations such as where to stay, get ready, or do a first look. We can always help with any of that from a wedding photography standpoint by showing you the best places and times for pictures.

Looking for an Evergreen wedding photographer?

Thanks for checking out this vendor highlight to hear why the Evergreen Lake House is one of our favorite places to capture your wedding photography. Check them out. As Colorado wedding photographers, our style is both environmental and experiential.

As I mentioned, the Evergreen Lake House is our local wedding venue so we know it well and it has a special place in our hearts. Lakeside outdoor ceremonies are memorable. It’s also a great venue for a winter wedding because you can always have the ceremony indoors if it’s too cold on the outdoor deck.

We’re continuing playing blog catch up with another Flagstaff mountain wedding, this one is a beautiful wedding at sunrise amphitheater. You can see based on the views why a sunrise amphitheater wedding is such a great choice. From this wedding at sunrise amphitheater you have incredible views of downtown Boulder.

Amy and Austin were elegantly beautiful and joyful, you can clearly see their joy in this Boulder wedding. From the ceremony portion of the wedding at sunrise amphitheater to portraits at Lost Gulch Overlook to the intimate dinner at the Flagstaff House restaurant, it was a beautiful day.

Weddings are a happy occasion when we gather to celebrate with our loved ones to commit ourselves to a beautiful future despite any road bumps that mat come. We stand on a small stage and take in the breathtaking view while our families smile on from their places in the seating area. It’s a day full of hope and you can see in the eyes of this couple the peace they feel.

Enjoy this sunrise amphitheater wedding photography!

Planning a Sunrise Amphitheater Wedding?

I wanted to add a few notes for those of you that landed on the blog because you’re planning a wedding at sunrise amphitheater. Lost Gulch Overlook is a great nearby spot for couples portraits. While Lost Gulch can be crowded, we’ve never had a problem with other visitors instead they’re always happy to share Lost Gulch with the happy couple.

This stunning ceremony location on flagstaff mountain pairs perfectly with one of my favorite boulder wedding venues, the Flagstaff House restaurant. As I’ve been sharing in the last few weddings, the restaurant boasts incredible views and delicious eats.

I’ve found that most of our wedding couples that are drawn to flagstaff mountain are looking for a Colorado wedding filled with great views and a fun experience. If you rent sunrise amphitheater, you have the start of both for a very affordable price.

Best Timing for a Sunrise Amphitheater Wedding Ceremony

When it comes to the best timing for a sunrise amphitheater wedding, it depends on weather, lighting, and the experience you want to have. While it’s epic to watch sunrise from sunrise amphitheater, that’s not often most people’s vision for their wedding day. It involves getting up and getting ready far too early.

There are early morning one hour time slots or longer three hour time slots more mid-day. The parking lot is less crowded in the morning and facility reservations don’t prevent other people from being around. With its proximity to downtown Boulder, Flagstaff mountain can be popular but a Boulder wedding isn’t off the grid anyway.

And lastly, remember, the amphitheater is a rustic outdoor facility so there’s not a covered area and the steps aren’t simple to walk. If you have guests with mobility issues, give them extra time to get situated for your wedding ceremony.

Time of Year

Time of year is a consideration as well because Colorado wedding can be unpredictable. But there are certain things that you can count on. You can count on it being hot mid-day in the middle of summer. You can count of afternoon thunderstorms

From a timing perspective, Colorado wedding planning can be tricky since it’s a shorter wedding season. But the season in Boulder is longer than higher elevations where it can be snowy longer. However, it can be

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m catching up on sharing some of our recent Colorado wedding photography work which brings me to this heartfelt Flagstaff House Restaurant wedding. First, it’s a wedding at the stunning Flagstaff restaurant which filtering by venue was a fun way to decide how to post some work. Second, this couple overcame health challenges to finally celebrate their amazing wedding day.

Weddings take love, perseverance, courage, teamwork, communication, cooperation, and so much more. Mark and Robbie taught us so much as we captured their beautiful wedding day. When it comes to romantic restaurants for a setting of a love story, this wedding venue delivered.

The delicious food and bar service is only part of what makes this venue great. If the weather or other circumstances require it, the team can adapt for an indoor ceremony that is still elegant. Another fun note about this wedding was that their was a solar eclipse during the ceremony which felt very celebratory.

Why Get Married in Evergreen Colorado

Our Evergreen Colorado wedding photography experience is one of locals. Not only do we love working event photography in the adorable mountain town, we call it home. Moving our business to Colorado from California was no small challenge but once we landed in Evergreen we knew we were home.

The town has just the right amount of pavement to nature. We have all of the major conveniences close by and we also have deer and elk frequent our backyard. It’s only an hour from Denver International Airport making it a great spot for destination weddings. You have the beauty of the mountains without the altitude and traffic.

Evergreen is a get-away that’s not too far and it boasts several adorable venues. It’s a great choice for couples looking for a low key mountain wedding.
