A RIST CANYON INN WEDDING IN LAPORTE, COLORADO

 

Kellsie and Luca’s dreamy summer wedding at the Rist Canyon Inn in Laporte, Colorado last June was such a perfect day and so much fun to photograph and to be a part of! This was my first time photographing a wedding at the Rist Canyon Inn and it did not disappoint! If you’re looking fo a laid back, rustic venue with an overall elegant feel and gorgeous view - I’d highly recommend adding the Rist Canyon Inn to your list of wedding venues to go check out! It’s right outside of Fort Collins, Colorado and such a fun, beautiful and magical place to have a wedding!

Kellsie and Luca’s wedding day was so laid back and such a blast to be a part of. Their ceremony was so sweet, guanine, and full of love. After the ceremony we took some photos with their adorable pup and their families, and then spent some time exploring the property grounds before heading to the reception! We snuck out during golden hour for the most stunning portraits, and they even got to hang with the resident horses! They finished the night laughing, dancing and celebrating with all of their friends and family. It was such a special day!

“Alyssa is absolutely amazing! We weren't able to meet her before our wedding day, but she stayed in contact leading up to is and we didn't have to worry about a thing. On the day of, she was amazing with direction and being flexible with the chaos that was my family. She captured everything perfectly and we could not be happier with our photos and everything else she did to help out!” - Kellsie + Luca
