{julie+bill} estes park, colorado cabin wedding photographer

Julie and Bill had a small, intimate wedding at a private cabin in Estes Park. Even though having a wedding in the middle of November in the mountains is pretty risky regarding the weather,it worked out beautifully for them! I began the day photographing Julie and some of her friends getting ready, and Julie was calm and excited for the big day! I grabbed a few quick shots of Bill getting dressed too, and then it was time for some pre ceremony family photos. Julie and Bill opted to not have a first look, which is always special! They were able to have the ceremony outdoors, which was just stunning with an incredible mountain backdrop. Julie and Bill are very simple, down-to-earth people and this laid-back wedding represented them perfectly. They only had about 45 guests, and the ceremony was standing room only. I think that’s always a fun way to change it up and keep it nice and intimate with those closest to you. The reception was held inside of the cabin, and there was a big deck for guests to mill about and catch the gorgeous mountain sunset. They shared a first dance and then spent most of the reception mingling with all of the special people who had come to celebrate them on their beautiful wedding day. The toasts were given by their parents, and were very touching and sweet. Julie and Bill, I had a wonderful time photographing your small and intimate cabin wedding! I wish you both an incredible marriage together! If you are interested in having me photograph your wedding in Estes Park, I would love to talk with you! Enjoy these favorite photos of mine from this amazing mountain wedding!
