Taylor and Joshua's wedding at Once Upon A Time Events was a true celebration of who they are — western and boho, elegant and unapologetically fun. From a suede hat hand-burned with a mountain scene and "T&J 10-15-25," to a bison skull guest book signed by family, to a vintage yellow pickup truck for the wedding party, every detail told their story. And when the sun went down, the bride traded her train for a mechanical bull — because a wedding day should feel like them, not like everyone else's.

The morning started with quiet details — a hand-burned suede hat, heirloom-style jewelry, and the dress that would carry Taylor down the aisle.

Under the pines at Once Upon A Time Events, Taylor and Joshua exchanged vows surrounded by family — including an emotional moment between Taylor and her grandmother.

As the light turned gold, we slipped away for portraits across the property — open fields, wind-caught veils, and a couple who never stopped looking at each other like it was the first time.

Then came the part where the day stopped being a photograph and just became a party — first dances, first kisses as a married couple, and one bride who was not about to let a wedding gown slow her down.

As a Colorado wedding photographer, I document weddings across every style — from timeless, elegant portraits to the unscripted moments that make a day feel completely your own — treating every image as artwork you'll keep for a lifetime.
