Aspen Colorado Sunrise Wedding Day at Maroon Bells
I’m so excited to finally get to share this beautiful sunny sunrise wedding I photographed for Javier and Stephanie back in late August. They actually got engaged at Maroon Bells and then decided to bring their family and friends to Colorado to get married in front of that amazing mountain view. We started off the day with a first look by Maroon Lake as the sun was rising and hitting the mountain backdrop. It really made for some gorgeous portrait backdrops as we walked along the trail with their dogs and their daughter. Eventually we made our way back over to the amphitheater to actually get them officially married at their sunny wedding ceremony. It was one of the most heartfelt and sweet wedding ceremonies I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing in my over 20 year career. After Stephanie and Javier got married, at the end of the ceremony before they finished they held a special part of the service where Javier asked Stephanie’s daughter if it would be ok to legally adopt her and have her also take his last name. It truly was a beautiful family moment and one of the most stunning areas in Colorado.
After the ceremony and a few more family and group photos, we moved the party over to the East Portal Picnic area for a little picnic to celebrate the happy couple. It was such a special day and the following photos are some of my favorites we created together. Congratulations to Javier & Stephanie and their daughter!
