Shupe Homestead Wedding - Longmont Wedding Photographer - Ted and Ellen

Ted and Ellen flew in from California, along with all of their closest friends and family, to get married at Shupe Homestead. I’ll start by saying that this was my first time photographing a Shupe Homestead Wedding and I’m officially obsessed. It’s a super gorgeous Longmont farm with views of Longs Peak off in the distance. This day was one of your rare, middle of summer but less than 85 degree days that you get on the front range of Colorado. Ellen was stunning in her simple white gown that fit her like it was created for her, and Ted was visibly smitten by his new wife.

The day started with each of them getting ready and mingling with friends at the St. Julien in Boulder, and then having a first look right across the street on the edge of Boulder Creek. From there we took a bus to different trails in between Boulder and Longmont, and then finally we arrived at Shupe Homestead. I could keep going on about how lovely the decor was, or how fun the dance floor was, but instead I’ll let you relive these pre covid times through the images themselves.

Wild Horse Inn - Fraser Colorado Wedding Photographer - Liz & Jesper

The Wildhorse Inn is one of my favorite Colorado wedding venues. I love everything about it - it’s quaint, remote feeling (despite being 10ish minutes away from downtown Winter Park), adorable rustic decor and that all your loved ones can stay under one roof. Having grown up coming to a family cabin just outside Winter Park, Jesper and Liz decided this would be the best spot for them to get married. This was seriously one of my favorite weddings this past summer due to its lovely uniqueness. Liz and Jesper had hand made quilted chuppah from a loved one, hanging ribbons that took hours to put up, homemade jam as a gift, and contra dancing (which was amazing and so fun to photograph!). It’s definitely refreshing to shoot a wedding that is different, and it certainly helped that Liz and Jesper were silly in love and the photo ops were endless. I hope you enjoy, and if you plan on having your mountain wedding in Winter Park or at the Wild Horse Inn please reach out, ‘cause im definitely your girl!
