KORI + JP MARRIED, BELLA VISTA IN STEAMBOAT

A few weeks ago, I went to Steamboat. I have never been there before. True story: I kind of fell in love with it – and I think it’s my new favorite mountain town. But I wasn’t just there to scope out the scenery. I was there for an amazing wedding at Bella Vista. I met Kori last year when she was kindly sent my way by one of my photographer friends. She is one of the kindest people ever … and I knew their day would be amazing. Imagine my surprise when I learn that she knows several of my other brides, and bridal party members from 2 of my previous weddings are there I LOVE my clients

Kori wore a champagne colored dress – unlike any other champagne dress I have seen. JP was decked out as well – black suit – orchid for a boutineer. Their day was perched high above the Steamboat Valley – literally looking over all kinds of amazing scenery. Bella Vista was gorgeous. Kori had fabulous details from black and white tablecloths with pink and orange flowers, to mini burgers and chicken skewers, to a dance floor full of props (seriously – one of the most fun touches I have photographed in quite some time). After the party was really rolling with Groove Nation playing, the bride, groom, and some of their guests escaped to the bon fire which was complete with your own little bon fire favor (including the ingredients needed for the deliciousness). Kori and JP also had super fun vows and a ceremony officiated by JP’s brother. They opted out of the traditional wedding cake and went for brownie sundaes for all of the guests instead. Above all – the way these two look at each other, smile, speak softly and super sweetly – they are truly awesome – and madly in love.

Kori and JP, thank you for asking me to photograph your day – I had SO much fun at your wedding!
