Phil + Brittany

Phil + Brittany. Two souls who pave their way through this world to the beat of their own drum. They are passionate about life, about being honest and loving, and about taking care of those around them.

To say their wedding was a dream was an understatement. They said their vows in the exact spot that my husband and I did only 3 short months before. I arrived to the venue early, just so I could walk around the property and relive our wedding day memories: to have a moment to reflect.

The threat of snow loomed all week prior to Saturday, but on the day of their wedding it was sunny and bright, in typical Colorado style. The perfect day, at the perfect venue: The Lyons Farmette.

There are many reasons why I love this venue, but the main one is the beautiful organic flower farm that they open up to us for couples photos. Walking the rows of colorful petals not only gave smiles to our faces, but a space to grow creatively and have a little fun. Lyons Farmette: I love your beauty.

To Brittany + Phil. May your laughter continue to echo throughout your marriage. May your love shine bright through all your adventures. May you find yourselves with your cups full of happiness and libations.

Cheers to the newlyweds!

Highlights: Brittany’s amazing dress and shawl, a wedding party that made me feel like a close friend, Bowties + Bourbon, Nanhattans, The Farmette Flower Field, Britt + Phil + My friendship, having my face hurt so much from smiling all day.

Jon + Meaghan

Ahhh, the great Riverbend. Nestled into the foothills of Lyons, Colorado, full of life and nature, it's a stunning location to set the tone for an outdoor wedding + celebrations alike. Its open landscape is great for dinner al fresco, but sprinkled with trees to make you feel like you're in a wooded campsite, its perfect for Meaghan and Jon to say their vows. 

Colorado weather in the summertime can be as indecisive as a 7th grader picking out their first day of school outfit. Sunshine, clouds, rainstorms, hail, back to sunshine (sometimes all in 20 minutes). Meaghan and Jon's day did bring a little rainstorm during their first look, but thankfully the storm passed and we were able to enjoy the day exactly how they planned. 

The ceremony was focused on individuals becoming one, the birth of their son Henry and how important family is. It was filled with laughter and lots of love. The sun is now lighting the far west, sweeping away the guests into a magical sunset as they enjoyed dinner, toasts and dancing. 

Honestly, if you're reading this and are looking for a wedding venue, do yourself a favor and go check out Riverbend and The Farmette. They're magical places just perfect for a Colorado wedding.  Plus, if youre a free-spirit like Meaghan, you can also get in the river!

Cheers to a lifetime of adventure Meaghan, John + Henry! I cant wait to see what comes your way!
