Salida SteamPlant Wedding | Ed and Alex Refvem | Salida Colorado Photographer

Salida SteamPlant Wedding

Without a doubt, Ed and Alex’s Salida Colorado wedding at the SteamPlant is one for the books! We met this sweet couple at the Heart of the Rockies Bridal Association Un-Bridal Show back in January. As soon as we started chatting with them, we were so intrigued. Their love for each other, vision for their sweet and intimate wedding day, and obviously, their dog being apart of the wedding drew us in! Alex and Ed both have an incredibly laid back nature that immediately makes you at peace when you’re near them. By the time their wedding day came, they were simply excited just to be married and to celebrate!

Mr. & Mrs. Revfem, thank you so much for having us be a part of your amazing wedding day! We can’t wait to see photos from your honeymoon in Moab, Utah and to see all the adventures you’ll take!

Love, Mike and Tay

How did the two of you meet?

“Through a mutual friend of ours. he thought we would be a good match for each other, and we were!”

Ed, how did you propose?

“I got a fancy table setup in our apartment, with a table cloth and everything, and cooked her a nice dinner. Then I had our dog come out with the ring tied to her collar, while playing one of Alex’s favorite songs, “Here comes your man” by The Pixies.”

Tell us about your first look!

“The first look was fun and I think we both enjoyed it, even though we had briefly seen each other in our outfits awhile back.”

How did you guys choose the Salida SteamPlant for your Salida Colorado wedding venue?

“Alex used to work for a brewery that did the brew fest in Salida’s main park. She said it was a beautiful place, and we both wanted a affordable mountain wedding. Once we took a tour of the SteamPlant and checked out the town, we knew it would be the right place.”

What was the most fun part of wedding planning for you?

“Finding the venue. Once we started planning the small and important parts of the wedding, it got a little stressful.”

What was your most memorable moment from your wedding day?

“Playing Chris Browns “Yeah 3x” after the formal dances, and we got everyone to start dancing. Everyone looked so happy, and Alex’s face was glowing! It was such a great moment.”

What are you most looking forward to in marriage?

“Growing old together, and sharing all the amazing experiences of life with your best friend.”

If you could pick one word to describe your wedding ceremony, what would it be?

“Fun!”

What advice do you have for couples planning their wedding now?

“The more low key your wedding is, the more you and your guests will enjoy themselves. Keep the formalities and traditions to a minimum. Everyone is there to celebrate your marriage and have fun. All you need is tasty food, booze, and good music!”

Are you going on a honeymoon? If so, where are you going?

“Moab, then Telluride and Ouray, Colorado. We will be 4 wheeling, hiking, mountain biking, and just overall adventuring.”

-Codey & Taylor

“We knew our photos were going to be something we would treasure forever, but what we didn’t expect to walk away with was an effortless bond turned friendship.

Taylor and Mike are not just invested in capturing the magic of the wedding day, but their heart is in it for the marriage and future that follows.”

-Brett & Mendy

I did not feel rushed or anxious, just simply in the moment—which was most important as this would be a once in a lifetime experience—and believe me, Taylor and Mike made it memorable. Separately they are an absolute delight, and together they make the ultimate team and genuine couple. You can see the true dedication they put into making that day, your day…special! It was an absolute joy to work with this inspirational couple."

"With grace and charm, Taylor and Mike set the tone for our beautiful wedding day!

-Jake & Christina

They did everything we asked and more. Our friends and family keep remarking how great our photographers were. They took so many photos and delivered them in such a fast turnaround."

"Taylor and Mike are professional, friendly, detailed, flexible, committed—exactly the kind of presence you want from photographers on your wedding day! 

-Chris & Kim

On the day, they were so organized and kept things moving at a perfect pace. We never felt rushed yet were able to adhere to our timeline perfectly. They made everyone, including my generally camera-shy husband, feel at ease making for photos with real smiles."

"From start to finish, Taylor and Mike take great care to make sure you are comfortable and have clear and prompt communication. 

-Jake & Haydn

We are so impressed with not only them as people and their amazing work, but also their communication skills throughout the entire planning process."

"Taylor and Mike have a great ability to take photographs in places no ordinary person would ever think of, and, while still focusing on you, they are also able to capture the beautiful scenery.

-Adam & Sydney

Though we had never met, it was as though we were life-long friends and it was immediately apparent we wanted to work with them. They are so pleasant, personable, and go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. We were so worried the photo process would be weird and awkward, but they made it one of the most fun aspects of the whole day. To top it all off, the photos are simply gorgeous!"

“We gave them a call and they were the first, and only, photographers we spoke with.
