They both start their day at the Lions Square Lodge, prepping for their big day. Stacey and her bridesmaids spent the morning opening gifts and drinking mimosas while Wedlocks Bridal Hair & Makeup did them up. Mike, or Cooks as most call him, spent their morning relaxing while buttoning their suits and straightening their ties before sending him off on the Eagle Bahn Gondola to anxiously await his first reveal of his beautiful bride on top of Vail.

Once Stacey was in her stunning Wtoo wedding dress, these two met up for one the most memorable first looks we’ve ever photographed. Heading into it, we knew Cooks was going to deliver. Our photo barely does his reaction justice.

Upon arriving at the base of Lionshead, we met up with the wedding party and soon made our way to The Chapel at Beaver Creek. Shortly after their ceremony, everyone loaded up in the Turtle Bus for memorable ride to the Donovan Pavilion for their wedding reception where The Radio Band absolutely rocked the jams.

All in all, the day couldn’t have gone any better, rain and all. Michael & Stacey were true to themselves and it was such a joy to capture their Vail Summer Wedding.

Arriving to bridal prep at the rental house, we had a blast running from room to room, documenting the chaos that ensues before everyone races out the door for the ceremony. After a ride on the Turtle Bus, we met Travis & the groomsmen in downtown Vail for a few wedding party pictures before heading up to The Chapel at Beaver Creek.

Shortly after a large group photo in front of the church, we headed out to the slopes for a few portraits of the beautiful bride & groom. Then, it was off to The Donovan Pavilion for their reception, which was decorated with personal touches of copper & lace.

We had a blast shooting this energetic crowd of friends for the nightcap of what was Travis & Sheryl’s beautiful Vail Wedding. Thanks again you two and enjoy the photos.

Months ago, during our consultation, Shayne and Alley talked about how they were down for anything crazy we could throw at them. So with that in mind, we had them hop in a gondola so we could do their first look on top of Beaver Creek Ski Resort. Mind you it was below freezing the entire day, so the snow didn’t seem all that bad. Cold ears, hands, nose, feet, etc. They rocked it though. From the Beaver Creek Chapel all the way to the Beaver Creek Lodge.

Below are just a few of the photos we thought that highlighted their beautiful Beaver Creek Lodge Wedding.
