Cara and Jared: Wild Horse Inn Wedding Photos

Cara and Jared hosted their wedding celebration at the Wild Horse Inn up in the mountains of Frasier, Colorado. The Inn is right down the road from Devil’s Thumb Ranch, where I shot Ivete and Chris’s wedding photos, as well as the epic Tandem Bike Wedding Couple Photo.  So as you can see, the Winter Park area is one of my favorite locations to shoot!

We started off the day with the prerequisite getting ready detail shots.

After the ceremony, we headed out to a nearby meadow to take some scenic portraits of the wedding couple. After discussing shoot concepts, Jared came up with a vintage truck to use as a prop. The really funny part, is that I picked Ward as a location to do their engagement shoot.  We wound up shooting a bunch of shots with an old fire truck up there. So these guys are officially my vintage truck couple!

My favorite shot from the engagement shoot was this shot, which used a tilt shift lens and the mirror of the truck. This time, I went with a double reflection image to achieve a similar effect.

Once back at the reception, it was time to eat, drink, stuff cake into our faces, and dance into the night. Thanks for reading!

Steve - I love these shots! I so wish I lived in Colorado, what a beautiful place, but a lot of photographers wouldn’t know what to do with it. The shots of the bride and groom in the field with the old Ford are stunning, and the reception looked so fun. Great work here!
