Vail Colorado Mountaintop Wedding and Lodge at Vail Reception

Posted on June 27, 2012

Art Silk and Kristen Sloan photographed Courtney and Scott’s Vail Colorado Mountaintop wedding on a beautiful September day. The flowers and wedding decor reflected fall in the Rocky Mountains, but the weather was so warm that it felt like summer.

The couple wanted to be photographed on Vail mountain for their engagement portrait session during the summer. Courtney and Scott are avid hikers, and the field below their wedding ceremony on Vail mountain proved to be a perfect location for this photo session. At the wedding, their cupcake topper also featured mountaineering hikers!

We started photographing the bride getting ready in her room at The Lodge at Vail. Courtney and Scott decided to see each other before the ceremony and we photographed them walking through Vail Village and along the Gore Creek.

The wedding ceremony was held at the top of Vail mountain at an outdoor stone ampitheatre which is accessed by the Eagle Bahn Gondola. The ceremony site offers amazing views of the Vail valley, Gore Mountain Range, and Mount of the Holy Cross, with seating for up to 180 people.

The Lodge at Vail hosted their reception at the Cucina Rustica restaurant.

Boulder Colorado Wedding at base of Flatirons and Chautauqua Dining Hall

Posted on March 28, 2012

Art Silk and I photographed Melissa and Randy’s wedding in Boulder, Colorado on location at the Colorado Chautauqua National Historic Landmark. Melissa’s getting ready portraits were taken in one of the cottages on the property, where many of their family and friends also conveniently stayed.

Randy and Melissa’s ceremony took place on the The Chautauqua Green; Located in front of the Dining Hall near the main entrance to Chautauqua, the Green is an open lawn with spectacular views of the flatirons. The Green is a city park, rented through the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department.

Fiori Flowers of Boulder Colorado created the gorgeous flowers for this wedding. As a lover of wedding details and punches of color, I could not stop myself from photographing the flowers!

The Chautauqua Dining Hall hosted the reception in a beautiful white tent with open sides, which allowed the guests views of Chautauqua Park and the Boulder Flatirions.
