The Barefeet at Deer Valley Ranch

natural-wedding-photos

I have to be honest, I was a bit nervous to shoot my first wedding back just two weeks after having a baby, but Courtney and Alex’s wedding was totally worth it. Their quirky, fun personalities shined through the entire day.

From Courtney’s mustache to their post-kiss hi-five twirl to a great “Fresh Prince” rap toast – it all gave off a “let’s have fun and party” atmosphere. The on-and-off rain showers didn’t dampen (pun intended) the vibe at all. In fact, people were feeling good and ready to get the dance party started before dinner even began.

Their outdoor ceremony and indoor reception was at Deer Valley Ranch, a beautiful, rustic property in Bailey. Courtney was an etsy fiend and found tons of small details for the reception. Kudos to Jessica with Pink Champagne Events  for a great wedding, and big thanks again to Kimberly Mitiska for second shooting with me. Buon viaggio Barefoots!

    What wonderful group of pictures full of memories of a fun filled wedding. Everyone in the pictures seemed happy, and having a good time. The bride and groom looked so happy, and full of crazy antics. CO was a beautiful place to have a wedding.
