AN ARAPAHOE BASIN WEDDING AT BLACK MOUNTAIN LODGE

 

Kelsey and Nathan’s wedding at Black Mountain Lodge at Arapahoe Basin was one of my all time favorite days ever. Not only are Kelsey and Nathan two of the most kind, fun, and easy people to hang out with - their wedding day was just as amazing as they are!

This was my first time photographing a wedding at Black Mountain Lodge at Arapahoe Basin and let me tell you, it’s one I’ll always remember! From taking a ski lift to the top of the mountain, to the most incredible views ever - it’s probably one of my favorite venues in Colorado! These two love to ski, and I couldn’t imagine a cooler place for them to get married.

We started the day getting ready in the village, and then we all took the ski lift to the top (like how cool is it for all your guests to take a SKI LIFT to your wedding?!). After spending the afternoon with Kelsey & Nathan and their wedding party, they had the sweetest ceremony! Kelsey & Nathan even got to take. lift ride after the ceremony just the two of the and soak it in! After that they had the most fun filled night of dancing and laughter. It was the best!

Thank you Kelsey & Nathan for letting me be a part of it. XO

“Alyssa was the second vendor I booked behind my venue and I’m so happy I did. Alyssa is so out going and friendly you feel so comfortable right off the bat. Alyssa eases all pictures and tells you exactly how to pose. (I was so worried we we’re going to look so awkward and uncomfortable). Our engagement pictures were absolutely stunning and I cannot wait for our wedding photos! Alyssa and Cara were both rockstars the day of, and we can’t thank them enough” - Kelsey
