Mountain Wedding Details on Grand Lake

Grand Lake was absolutely breathtaking—the greenery, the towering mountains, and the peaceful water created the most stunning natural backdrop for their day. It felt like every direction you turned was straight out of a dream! And Vaneska’s bohemian dress? It was everything. The lace details and flowing fabric fit perfectly with the vibe of the day. We also did an intimate first look before the ceremony, and it was one of the sweetest moments ever. Just the two of them, soaking it all in before the big moment!

Vaneska and Jose were beyond excited to see their family and friends who traveled all the way from Florida, and of course, the big moment when they finally got to say their "I do's." One of the most fun details? Their dog served as the cutest ring bearer! From the emotional, sentimental moments to indulging in the amazing food and watching every piece of the day come together, it was everything they had dreamed of. To top it all off, they jetted off to Costa Rica for their honeymoon—a perfect way to keep the fun going!

Intimate Wedding vs Traditional Wedding

Intimate weddings are such a beautiful way to focus on what truly matters—your love and connection. With fewer guests, you get to spend more meaningful time with the people who matter most, without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. It allows for a more relaxed, personal experience, where every detail feels intentional and tailored to your relationship. Plus, intimate weddings often take place in breathtaking locations that might not be possible with a larger crowd, giving you the chance to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a setting that reflects your personality. It’s all about creating a day that feels authentic, special, and uniquely yours!

Kind Words From the Bride and Groom

"Upon planning my wedding, I was very picky with the photographer, because as someone who loves photography, I was looking for storytelling, documentary style photography. I'm glad I kept my search open outside for Colorado, because after months of looking for the a photographer and was the style of photos I was looking for and that allowed me to stay within my budget, I finally came across Kyndal's page and after meeting with her, we immediately knew it was a done deal. Planning our wedding was stressful, but Kyndal being so thoughtful, sent us a book to with information for us to read before the wedding and things to consider, which really helped.

During our wedding day, she made sure to get shots of all the intimate moments as they were, whether chaotic, sentimental, cheerful, etc. Her and skyler's professionalism showed, and helped us feel more at ease. They captured our wedding beautifully and her photos along with the video they made for us, will forever showcase how magical our Rocky Mountain National Park fairytale wedding was. I can forever look back at it and remember my grandma's smiles, my dad's tears upon seeing me in my dress for the first time, and my mom's warm hugs. Out of all my wedding expenses, this was for sure the best one.

Thank you Kyndal and Skyler, you guys are a dream team!"
