A Colorado Wedding

5 10 2009

I was recently in Colorado to photograph a fantastic wedding.  The three day extravaganza was one of the best that I ever been to.

Set in beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado, this wedding could probably be described as an “alternative” one due to the lack of many of the traditional wedding customs.  The ceremony was deliberately designed to beautiful but quick… to leave more time for partying!

Events surrounding the sunset ceremony included: a rhinestone cowboy party, an 80′s dance party, hot springs, golf, fishing, pool-side lounging, mountain climbing, and even skeet shooting!  This was definitely a wedding to remember!
