How did you meet each other? We met working at an outdoor science school in the woods of Southern California.

What was the best memory of your wedding day? This is really hard, getting married was absolutely amazing. Dan's favorite memory was just after the ceremony was done and we were officially married. Well that, or getting lifted in the chairs. Michelle's favorite memory was sitting down for dinner together, looking around and seeing all of our friends and family. But really the whole day was unforgettable.

What would be some advice you would give to future couples as they plan their wedding day? Don't worry about the food too much, your not going to eat it. The people you invited, your friends and family, are the most important part of the wedding day.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?  Where did you stay and what were a couple activities you enjoyed.  Would you recommend to other couples?

We went to Kauai, Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island of Hawaii.  The whole trip was amazing, but the highlights included snorkeling, whale watching, a helicopter tour, mountain biking down a 11,000 foot volcano, driving convertibles, seeing the glow of lava at night, and just general hiking and exploring the beaches and jungle.

We also went to the South island of New Zealand where we kayaked, saw dolphins jump and fur seals play, saw numerous glaciers and fjords, went backpacking, canyoneering, mountain biking, caving, and wine and beer tasting.

We stayed mostly in vacation rentals in Hawaii and then rented a campervan for New Zealand. Definitely would recommend both places for a honeymoon

How did you two meet? Justin and I met online! We went on our first date in October of 2013 at a brewery in Denver.

What was the best memory from your wedding day? The best memory of our wedding day was our "first look" photos during the day before the ceremony.  It was an opportunity for Justin and I to step away from everyone else, be outside in the beautiful, snowy woods near Gore Creek in Vail, and spend some time together just the two of us (plus Drake and Ashley of course, who captured the moment! Those are our favorite photos from the entire day.)

Do you have any advice for future couples getting married?

The best advice we can give in terms of wedding planning is to keep things simple and let the vendors do what they do best.  Everyone we worked with truly knew how to do an excellent job, and when we followed their recommendations everything turned out wonderfully.  We genuinely felt that things were all taken care of for us and we are so glad we didn't try to over-manage the event!

Where did you go on your honeymoon? We went to South Africa and the Seychelles for our honeymoon! We don't often get a lot of time off to travel so we decided to just go for it and do a big international trip.  We did a safari at Ngala Safari Lodge in Kruger National Park, which was indescribably impressive and awe-inspiring, and then we stayed at the Banyan Tree Resort in the Seychelles.

How did you meet each other? We met playing college sports and I'm pretty sure our first encounter was a drunken one which may get a few giggles from our family!

What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?
My favorite memory was when I saw all my friends family and bridal party in the church walking down the isle as well as hearing my processional song Christina Perry s ' A thousand years' . 

Do you have any advice for future wedding couples? Our advice is to not try to control everything on the day...at that point its out of your hands ...just enjoy all your hard work and each other.Where did you go on your honeymoon?  What activities did you enjoy most?

Our honeymoon was to Tulum, Mexico and it was fabulous we would absolutely recommend the Bahia Principe Tulum to any couple for a more budget friendly option! Must do excursion would be xPLor Fuego at night ...it's a zip line cave tour that we will never forget!!

Rustic Colorado Mountain Wedding Photographer | Deanna and Rob's Steamboat Springs Wedding

Deanna and Rob had one of the most unique weddings we've ever attended. They rented the Vista Verde dude ranch near Steamboat Springs for an extended weekend to spend with all their friends and family. The weekend included a true cowboy rehearsal dinner with some of the most amazing food prepared by the staff at Vista Verde followed by a hayride, horseshoe competition, calf roping, tequila shooting good time in the stables at the ranch.

Coordinated by Kelsey Albright at Colorado Wedding Company, the wedding day was everything the bride and groom could've hoped for and more! From the gorgeous flowers and centerpieces, by Erin Devine to the perfect setting that the Vista Verde provided, to the bride's gorgeous dress and 2nd dress (photos coming soon), to the Don Julio grooms cake, etc etc. After the ceremony they had a sunset sleigh ride out in the pasture and stables.  Awaiting their return was an accordion serenade waltz of "Over the Waves", blue champagne and one heck of a party.  Thank you for inviting Ashley and I to share in your wedding weekend.

Congratulations Deanna and Rob and may we wish you a happy marriage together.

With the recent snowy weather here in Denver I had was reminded of this beautiful winter mountain wedding at the Silverpick Lodge in Durango, CO.  What a fantastic weekend it was with a great group of friends. Congratulations on your upcoming 1 year anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Hightower.
