Twin Lakes Colorado Wedding Elopement Photographer | Stephen and LeeAnn

We are so stoked to share Stephen & LeeAnn’s Colorado mountain wedding with y’all today!

This wedding was intimate, heart-felt, and full of love. It was more than a wedding, but a celebration of two families joining and committing to love and support each other. On a warm June evening in Colorado, Stephen and LeeAnn stood in front of a gorgeous lake flanked by towering mountains with snow kissed peaks and said ‘I do.’

Stephen and LeeAnn are from Kentucky, and they really wanted to get married at a lake in Colorado. I knew Twin Lakes was the perfect location. LeeAnn had her heart set on snow covered mountaintops in the background, but unfortunately snow in June is hit or miss in Colorado. We still got awesome photos with towering mountains backdropping the serene lake.

Stephen’s oldest son performed the ceremony, then the couple read personal vows to each other, and afterwards read their vows to the kids. The connection between the kids and their parents was really special. Even though they had teenage boys who were really stoked about getting steak after the wedding, all the kids were really engaged during the ceremony and soaked up everything that was going on.

The couple had a blast taking photos! They were super willing to get in the lake with me and be playful with one another. Leanne made her own bouquet out of wood flowers and did a wonderful job styling and coordinating everyone. They all wore hiking boots to the wedding and truly embraced their Colorado atmosphere in a fun way.

The sunset that evening at Twin Lakes was spectacular. Twin Lakes is just amazing and provides a wonderful location for small intimate, micro weddings and elopements. It’s so easy to get married there. You can get world class views right off the parking lot. If you have hiking boots like this family, great! But it’s also very doable in heels.

I’m so glad the couple went with Twin Lakes as their wedding location. You get a picture-perfect view with some of the nation’s highest peaks and two glistening glacial lakes below. It’s close to Buena Vista and Leadville. It’s not far from Breckenridge and is just on the other side of the mountain from Aspen. The iconic Independence Pass is at the base of the mountain and The Colorado Trail goes right along Twin Lakes. It’s a unique spot, but easy access for ceremonies with no shortage of outdoor fun before or after the wedding day.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a great evening with this special couple at a fantastic location.

“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.
