Breckenridge Winter Wedding
Breckenridge Bliss: A Winter Wedding Story (Film & Digital)
Okay, picture this: a snowy mountain backdrop that's straight out of a Hallmark movie, the kind of sunlight that makes you squint and smile, and a wedding so chill, it's practically wearing slippers. That's exactly what Chloe and Matt’s Breckenridge winter wedding was all about. Forget stuffy formality – this was all cozy vibes and genuine joy.
From the moment I arrived, the energy was infectious. The crisp mountain air was chilly, but the warmth radiating from the couple and their guests more than made up for it. Chloe’s dress? Absolutely stunning. Think classic elegance with a touch of mountain-chic, perfectly complementing the breathtaking scenery. And Matt? Well, let's just say he looked pretty darn smitten.
The ceremony was held outdoors, framed by a stunning floral arch bursting with winter whites and pops of deep green. The sun peeked through the clouds, casting a magical glow on the whole scene. Every photo, whether captured on my trusty Leica M6 Film Camera or my digital rig, felt like a little piece of magic. The film shots, with their unique grain and texture, added a touch of nostalgic romance, while the digital images captured the vibrant energy of the day with crisp clarity.
Cocktail hour was all relaxed mingling and laughter, with guests bundled in cozy blankets, sipping warm drinks, and soaking up the incredible views. The reception was a cozy affair, bathed in warm candlelight and string lights that created an intimate and magical atmosphere. The dancing? Let's just say the dance floor was packed all night!
And the best part? The sparkler exit. As Chloe and Matt walked hand-in-hand through a tunnel of sparkling light, creating an unforgettable visual that perfectly encapsulated the magic of their day. Seriously, goosebumps.
This wedding wasn't just about pretty pictures (although, let's be honest, there were a lot of pretty pictures); it was about two people celebrating their love surrounded by the people who matter most, against the stunning backdrop of the Colorado Rockies. It was a celebration of love, laughter, and the pure, unadulterated joy of a winter wonderland wedding.
