A Wedding With a View

With summer behind us, there is a lot to look forward to with the changing of the seasons. The color of the leaves will turn and we’ll begin pulling out our sweaters as the temperature cools. It’s a time to relax more and sweat less. While we’re excited about Fall, there’s much we’ll miss about the summer. Today we’re remembering one of our favorite summer memories. Back in June, we did a scenic Granby Ranch wedding shoot with Desirae and Nico.

A Granby Ranch Wedding Shoot

Granby Ranch, CO is a “four-season mountain community where families connect and play.” You can hit the slopes for an exhilarating day of skiing or play a laid-back game of golf. The ranch has a variety of activities for visitors of all ages. The best part? It offers all the amenities and freedom of a remote resort while only being 90 minutes outside of Denver. Over 500 families live on the ranch, which means you’ll experience a real sense of community. Marise Cipriani, founder of Granby Ranch, writes that the ranch is “where families and friends connect, live, play, and enjoy nature in the Colorado Rockies.” Interested in an outdoor wedding? A Granby Ranch wedding shoot might be right for you! We wrote an article detailing what makes the ranch such a special venue just a few months ago.

High up in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful aspens, Desirae and Niko came together to celebrate their commitment to each other with their loved ones in attendance… including a couple of furry friends!

A Wardrobe to Suit the Weather

Desirae reveled in the gorgeous Colorado weather with a beautiful open-back dress. A pair of glittering heels completed her look. For his part, Niko went with a traditional suit with a playful touch of blue.

Shout out to the vendors who made this event possible! Lighting and music was provided by Elite Entertainment, flowers were provided by Stalk Market, and catering was provided by Granby Ranch. Thank you!
