Vanessa and John | Deer Creek Valley Ranch | A Colorado Wedding
Ahh, this wedding was magic! From start to finish I loved working with Vanessa and John. We first met for their engagement session up in the mountains just outside of Denver. I’d describe these two as adventurous. I love seeing them do life! I follow Vanessa on Instagram and one of their honeymoon pics was of them bungee jumping…the expression on both of their faces haha…they truly love adventure and each other.
Vanessa arrived to the beautiful cottage that has recently been added to Deer Creek Valley Ranch. Natural light filters all through out and was the perfect spot for Vanessa and her wedding party to get ready. Champagne toasts and laughter filled the space and I loved the pure happiness that Vanessa expressed all day. The same could be said with John and his family and friends. Only they were watching a football game and everyone was screaming at the screen haha. Such a classy and fun group all around. I think what sticks out most for me on this wedding day was when John sees Vanessa for the first time. He’s walking up the stairs and his draw drops and both of them have tears in their eyes. Such a beautiful sweet moment.
I love how spread out you get to be at Deer Creek Valley Ranch. Their wedding was taken in the meadow where guests or shuttled from the main barn area. A beautiful stone path, a wooden covered bridge over a creek and just the beginning glimpse of fall greeted guests as they found their seats for the ceremony. Vanessa arrived in their jeep with her Dad which again, LOVED that. These two had their friend officiate the wedding. He had everyone laughing and tearing up through out. Such a special ceremony to be part of. The guests enjoyed a cocktail hour afterwards at the gazebo and then they all walked through the forest to the barn for dancing and delicious food!
I loved going back through their wedding all the sweet moments that were captured. Vanessa and John, I could not be happier for you both! I had such an incredible time being part of your beautiful wedding. Thank you so much for having me! Wishing you both all the best adventures in your new marriage!
To all my Colorado wedding vendors who helped make this day so special for Vanessa and John, THANK YOU for sharing your talents and for being so amazing to work with!
