This was one of my favorite weddings of 2019. To start, I absolutely love Della Terra Weddings. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful but the staff is amazing and all of the weddings there go off without a hitch. It’s also in Estes Park, which is also one of my favorite Colorado mountain towns, and home to the always amazing Rocky Mountain National Park.

This Estes Park wedding was wonderful because there was just so much emotion, everything ranging from tears to laughter, playfulness to drunken hilarity. One of my favorite parts of the day was when the man of honor (Elise’s brother) pulled out what he thought were Elise’s vows, but they actually weren’t, so a couple of Elise’s friends ran back to Della Terra and to grab the actual vows. The pause during that moment was filled with lighthearted bantering, and it made for some really lovely candid shots.

Another favorite part was the fact that everyone was super into the lawn games they had set up outside for guests. We watched an amazing game of Jenga between family members and friends, and then finished the night up with some epic dancing. Weddings like these fly by for me and sometimes it doesn’t even feel like work, because they’re so fun!
