Alyssa Walker and Charlie Foster were married at Wild Basin Lodge in Allens Park, Colorado September 17, 2011.
You never know what to expect the weather to be at a Colorado destination mountain wedding! One rule about Colorado weather is that if you don’t like it, wait 15 minutes. Alyssa and Charlie’s wedding was close to being rained out and moved inside. They gave up on having their ceremony in the meadow about a half mile walk from the lodge and instead optioned for the Wedding Deck next to the lodge.
It was a good call as the rain picked up during their ceremony but it couldn’t wipe the smile off Alyssa’s face and I’m pretty sure it was tears running down Charlie’s face as they exchanged vows.
About a half hour after their ceremony, the rain stopped and we were able to wander around the grounds for a fun portrait session including down to the meadow where we had the pasting storm clouds blowing past Mount Meeker and Longs Peak in the back ground.
Congratulations to Alyssa and Charlie!
Cheers, Kent
I met Jordan and Andy while they were getting dressed for their wedding in the Presidential Suite at The Stanley Hotel followed by a private reveal in the gazebo. Both Andy and Jordan were emotional all day in a very heartfelt way.
Congratulations, Kent
Jen and John were married at The Stanley Hotel July 30, 2011.
I’d never met Jen and John until moments before they had a private reveal in the gazebo several hours before their wedding. They wanted to have time to drive up into Rocky Mountain National as they are both huge hikers and back packers and in fact they named each table at their reception in The MacGregor Ballroom after different National Parks where they’ve hiked.
One of the defining sequences of moments of the day started with a tap on my shoulder while I was kneeling in photograph flower girl Mahayl, niece of the groom. The ushers were rolling out a runner. I moved over and they continued as Mahayl walked up tossing flower petals and stepped though the runner pull cord without missing a beat and then join her mother where she paused to wiped her brow as Jen and her father were coming down the front steps. She was cool, comfortable and calm just like Jen and John.
Jen’s father Rev. David Stewart performed the ceremony which included everyone singing several hymns. He did a great job of moving around so he could sing with the family and friends who were seated in front of the historic hotel, then turn around and speak directly to the couple. It really was a beautifully orchestrated and personal ceremony.
Cheers, Kent
