Colorado Mountain Wedding – Janie and Sean

On the 4th of July in 2021 Janie and Sean tied the knot at Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, Colorado.

Aside from a little bit of rain early in the day, the weather was perfect. The decorations were beautiful, and the vendors were amazing. Not to mention, the couple, Janie and Sean were absolutely gorgeous. They are the couple you see together and just know they are meant to be. Their personalities are so outgoing and genuine. They made each other laugh and cry happy tears all day. Janie and Sean couldn’t have picked a better sunny Colorado day.

They surrounded themselves with people just like them too! Their friends and family were just as fun, sweet and so excited for the wedding. I really believe if you have the right people around you, your wedding could have a million things go wrong…but it would still be perfect to the couple.

Janie and Sean did their engagement session with me in Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado the fall beforehand.

Check that gallery out HERE! We all clicked right away! And had a blast with each other creating some fun images! I also had the honor of photographing Janie’s boudoir session as a gift for Sean on their wedding day You can check out that session HERE!

Colorado is known for amazing mountain landscapes, but Wild Basin has the best views in town. Allenspark, which is right by Estes Park, is a little more away from the hubbub of tourism and shopping. Nestled in the mountain off highway 7 is 13 acres of wedding paradise. Not to mention, you can walk right into Rocky Mountain National Park from the venue and get even more amazing views!

The team at Wild Basin is always a joy to work with, and I have been there a time or two….or maybe thirty.

The coordinators and catering staff is so helpful, and I have always seem my couples be really pleased with how their day went. Wild Basin caters their own events and You Need Pie supplied the yummy desserts. I also go to work alongside a great friend of mine. Chris at Insight Media Productions filmed the ceremony and some intimate bride and groom moments. Check out the video!

I feel so lucky to live in a beautiful state like Colorado, and have to opportunity to meet and photograph just as beautiful couples. Check out the rest of my wedding portfolio and feel free to contact me if you are looking for a wedding photographer! I would love to chat!
