Vail Colorado Mountain Wedding Photos | Piney River Ranch Wedding
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Whenever I go to hit the submit on a blog post, after I’ve spent hours going through each wedding story and choosing my favorite photos captured from the day.
Right as soon as I’m about to share it with the world wide web, I always get a little twinge of panic.
A little worry that you, the reader are going to see all the beautiful photos from these weddings + sessions but not really see the people in them.
See beyond how beautiful they are, beyond how perfectly all of their details came together, beyond the epic mountain views to see what kind of actual human beings these moments are happening to in each and every photo.
Which is a lot of expectation for you, the reader to do, considering these are *usually* completely strangers. But still, I love these people and even though it makes no sense, I want you to love them too.
I’m really *really* bad at explaining things, so I do hope that you’re able to feel a little bit of just how wonderful each of these moments felt when they were actually happening in front of me scrolling through the galleries.
But to know these people, especially David and Leah, to know how incredibly treasured they make every person they invite into their lives feel. To experience these gigantically important, yet fleeting moments with people that have such a lust for living their lives to the fullest,
oh…its just such a gift.
Leah + David are the real deal.
They are truly made of some kind of magic.
Meeting them the first time, we talked + laughed for way too long, probably way too loudly.
Freezing in the mountains for their engagement session, they were up for ANYTHING and took standing in an wind storm in the Rocky Mountains with the biggest smiles.
Their wedding day arrived and within minutes of arriving to Leah’s hotel room to start hair + makeup, I just knew the people they had invited to spend their day celebrating with them, were just as amazing as they are.
And I was excited going into it, but even more excited as more people kept showing up and sharing their stories of doing life with David and Leah.
This epic day of love + laughter, set at Piney River Ranch was everything that these two deserve and documenting this day from start to finish was just the absolute best time.

“My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine.
Softer than a sigh.
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean.
Wider than the sky.
My love is brighter than the brightest star.
That shines every night above.
And there is nothing in this world.
That can ever change my love.” | Petula Clark
