This adventurous couple from Fort Collins, CO opted for a winter wedding at Gorrono Ranch. Blessed with a bluebird day, the sun (and excitement) kept them warm for their first-look photoshoot up at San Sophia Station. While they skied down to their ceremony from the top of the gondola, guests were picked up by an open-air sleigh drawn by a snowcat from the base of the mountain.

K&K said “I do” on the main deck with Mt. Wilson as their backdrop and their furry friends at their side. The group then moved inside for a seated dinner featuring classic Colorado cuisine at tables named after their favorite ski runs in Telluride. With light-up accessories accompanying their dancefloor and photo booth, everyone stayed warm grooving by the fireplace.

This stylish couple kept everything in one place, with ceremony flowing easily into reception in the Crystal Room Combination at the Peaks Resort. Rental “ghost” chairs and a classic wedding arch brimming with white flowers greeted guests as they headed out to the Mt. Wilson Terrace for ceremony with a flute of champagne in hand. As soon as A&P were announced as husband and wife, trays of Aperol Spritz and Ranch Water appeared with passed canapes on the Terrace.

After a beautiful cocktail hour, everyone was invited into the Legends dining room for a seated dinner to fuel up for an amazing party. Though first dances took place inside the Crystal Room, Mt. Wilson loomed in the background through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The rest of the night included sequin cowboy hats, a Veuve champagne tower, espresso martinis, late night snacks, and some serious dance moves. Many guests headed upstairs to their suites in the hotel while others took the party to town for a nightcap.
