Capturing Love in the Enchanting Outdoors: A Tale of an Intimate Wedding near Denver, Colorado
July 7, 2023
I’ve fallen in love with adventures, so I begin to wonder if that’s why I’ve fallen for you.
Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado, where towering mountains meet endless skies, a tale of love unfolded on a sun-kissed day just outside the vibrant city of Denver. As a photographer, I had the incredible honor of witnessing and immortalizing an intimate wedding that celebrated the unbreakable bond between two souls. The enchanting beauty of the natural surroundings provided the perfect backdrop, amplifying the heartfelt emotions and creating an atmosphere of pure magic. Join me on a visual journey as we delve into the captivating moments of this extraordinary wedding, where love, nature, and the spirit of Colorado intertwined in perfect harmony.
For Jeni and Victor, their biggest priority for their wedding day was lots of time spent with their guests. They even gave a speech at dinner thanking everyone who traveled near and far to be there for them on their big day. Getting ready at their own house and just hanging out with their loved ones prior to the festivities just set the tone for such a laid back day.
Jeni and Victor chose to get ready at their home since they live in a neighborhood right alongside Green Mountain. Located in Lakewood, immediately southwest of downtown Denver, it’s an area where the couple spends a lot of time. It’s a special place for them, and because of that, they decided that was where they wanted to have their intimate wedding ceremony. The weather was great, the hike was short, and the views of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains were incredible!
After the mountaintop ceremony, the couple then hosted a lovely reception nearby at the Retreat at Solterra, also located in the city of Lakewood. The venue happened to be conveniently nearby as well and provided the perfect space for an intimate wedding reception for everyone to gather after the ceremony.
Fun Fact: The carabiner pictured is the one that Victor used to propose to Jeni. While out on a climb one day, he attached the engagement ring onto the carabiner for Jeni to find at just the right moment. Victor was even excellent enough to film it on his phone. They shared it with me when we first started chatting about their wedding plans and it was some of the most wholesome content ever created.
