If I could bottle up the essence of Alex and Taylor’s wedding day, I absolutely would—and I’d carry it with me to every wedding I photograph. Their celebration at Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park, Colorado, was the perfect mix of elegance, ease, and mountain magic. Seriously, if you’ve never been to Della Terra, just picture this: a luxurious chateau tucked right at the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, surrounded by pine-covered peaks, open skies, and the kind of views that make you want to stay forever. Yes, it’s that dreamy.
From the very beginning, Alex and Taylor were a joy to work with. I had already fallen a little in love with them during their engagement session, they’re just that sweet! and their chemistry was off the charts. They’re one of those couples that are easy-going, affectionate, and just genuinely kind humans. Alex, with his Southern charm, had everyone smiling all day long, while Taylor brought a quiet grace and warmth that grounded the whole vibe. Together? Pure magic.
The morning of their wedding felt calm and full of anticipation. The wind had a bit more personality than a gentle breeze—let’s just say the trees were definitely dancing, and the sky had that Colorado-blue clarity that makes the mountains look like a painting and developed into that epic lighting from soft clouds later in the afternoon. Della Terra’s outdoor ceremony site is tucked into the forest, with a stunning cedar vineyard trellis and a raised brick stage. As Alex and Taylor exchanged vows surrounded by their closest people, the atmosphere was intimate, emotional, and undeniably beautiful—even with the wind tossing a few dresses and curls around. It just added to the mountain wedding charm.
One of the many things I love about Della Terra is how every corner feels intentional and beautiful. The indoor reception space is full of floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light and frame those epic Rocky Mountain views. Vaulted ceilings, warm wood tones, and cozy stone details make it feel like a luxurious mountain lodge but one that’s made for partying!
And party they did! The reception was an absolute blast. The whole day flowed so effortlessly—which, trust me, is rare. No rushing, no stress, just good vibes all around. From the heartfelt toasts to the first dance, the night was full of laughter, happy tears, and a packed dance floor.
As a photographer, days like this fill my creative cup to the brim. Between the stunning location, the thoughtful details, and this incredible couple, I had so much to capture—from the emotional moments to the candid ones and everything in between.
