Wedding prep took place at adjoining townhomes in Dillon. Stacy and I went back and forth from bridal prep to groom prep and took turns shooting both parties. Once Steven finally put his shirt on, we made our way toward Arapahoe Basin for a first look above tree line. Their wedding party followed… and so did the antics. We loved every bit of it.

Their ceremony was personal, but fit their personalities perfectly and everyone was crying and laughing at the same time. Shortly after their first kiss, as tradition would have it, we made our way down and back up the Black Mountain Express before beginning the epic reception. It also didn’t take long for the shirts to come back off and the party to being. Come to think of it, Steven and his groomsmen may have been shirtless longer than they were dressed on their wedding day.

Thanks you two for your endless energy and laughter and congrats on your Fall Arapahoe Basin Wedding.

Both Amy & Erik started their wedding day in Keystone, CO before making our way to the top of Loveland Pass for their first look. Being just a short drive to Arapahoe Basin from the top, it made sense to take full advantage of peak wildflower season. We found fields of Indian Paintbrush, Lupines and many others.

A short while after, everyone boarded the chairlift for a ride up to Black Mountain Lodge for their nuptials. Once dinner was finished, we grabbed these two for a short jaunt up the Argentine North Fork Trail for the last bits of sunlight and a few beautiful wedding portraits.

It was such a pleasure documenting these two’s Arapahoe Basin Wedding at Black Mountain Lodge and its always a joy to be working at a place like A Basin. Working with the wonderful Arapahoe Basin Staff at one of our favorite venues never gets old.

Amanda started off her day with the ladies at the Keystone Lodge & Spa. After hair and makeup was completed, we made our way to the base of A Basin for some group photos, while Blake and his groomsmen cracked a cold one on the top of Loveland Pass.

Nearing ceremony time, as predicted, the clouds rolled in and the rain began to fall, but it didn’t bother Blake or Amanda one bit. After adorning her rain poncho, she began the ride up with her father before making way down the isle. Mid-ceremony, the rain stopped and the sun began to shine as Amanda just in time for their first kiss as husband & wife.

Shortly after their ride down and back up, their reception began with some amazing speeches from their closest loved ones… and then the party began. These two families know how to party, making it easy for us to smash that shutter button. It was such a pleasure getting to know these two beautiful people. Spending some time with them during their Maroon Bells Engagement and then documenting their Arapahoe Basin Wedding, with a side of rain, could not have been more delightful.
