Colorado Wedding Photography at Lower Lake Ranch in Pine

May 23, 2014

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of photographing two weddings here in Colorado. The first wedding took place at Mountain View Ranch which is the groom’s family property in Pine, Colorado. It’s a really cool rustic location with majestic views of Lionshead and Cathedral Peaks. It looks like an old scouting type of camp and there is plenty of space for guests to spend the night for those who are looking for a venue that can host their out of town guests on site. The ranch history is pretty interesting with ties to the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver and makes for a fun read if you check out their website which is linked to below.

George and Kingsley were all smiles on their wedding day. They are expecting their first baby soon and the excitement of a little one on the way combined with all of the love their family and friends brought with them created the perfect celebratory atmosphere for a wedding. They also brought in That Eighties Band for the reception which covered a ton of fun hits all night and kept their party rolling. The dance floor was so packed but the barn at Lower Lake Ranch has big huge doors that can be opened to let in all of that nice fresh Colorado mountain air. Another entertaining and raucous wedding hits the books!

I LOVE Kingsley’s rings!

Kingsley’s adopted dad who raised her had unfortunately passed away. I loved this sweet tribute to him at her ceremony.

This is Kona, George and Kingsley’s adorable furry friend.

Just one of my favorites!
