GRANBY RANCH WEDDING | Kit + Jason

Rick and I are excited for every wedding we photograph. It is our passion and capturing moments for people in love on one of the best days of their lives NEVER gets old! Another perk of being a wedding photographer is getting to visit new places, gorgeous places, take your breath away places. Combine these two and you can absolutely see why we were counting down ththe months till Kit & Jason’s Granby Ranch wedding!

Kit and Jason are amazing. They have managed to share their love long distance for some time now. But get them together and not only are they head over heels for one another but they are also great friends. Seeing them laugh and giggle was just so heart warming. THAT is the kind of love we all wish we had!

These two planned a gorgeous Granby Ranch wedding. The girls were going to get ready in a YURT while the boys stayed out at Base Camp. They would meet at the top of the mountain with guests being brought up by ski lift. There in front of the most amazing view these two would have the Granby Ranch wedding of their dreams! Then it began to rain and as soon we make it up to the YURT we heard the sound of horns signaling that it was time for everyone to evacuate from the mountain. The storm continued this time without rain but with a bigger menace… lightning. Kit was soon faced with the reality that it was too dangerous to be on the mountain where lightning could strike and there was no protection. Their ceremony would be held at the base of the mountain which was the best case scenario and the worst case would mean moving it inside.

Jason knew that his bride had been dreaming of her amazing Granby Ranch wedding for some time now and that dream included getting married ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN! In the end the fantastic venue staff came up with a compromise. The happy couple, their Bridal Party, parents and the photography and videography crew would be allowed up. Way to be persistent Jason, we all love you for that.

So on top of that mountain, with an amazing happy audience (and an even more amazingly happy bride) these two said their I Do’s. After their first kiss they literally ran down the aisle as the rain began to really come down.

What’s that saying? You only get married once? Not so for these two! Since their guests were not allowed up they reinacted their vows being exchanged in a second indoor ceremony. How thoughtful is that?!

These two really planned the PERFECT Granby Ranch wedding! Love how they brought a little bit of Wyoming by including Elk antler sheds in their centerpeices. They carried gorgeous vintage detail throughout and their color pallette was so unique! Oh that dessert bar?! To die for! Yummy brownies, heart topped pies and even snores outside at the fire! What a perfect reception!

Kit and Jason your Granby Ranch wedding was one of the highlights of our season! We loved how in the midst of adversity you cared so much for one another, continued to dream BIG and kept such a positive outlook! Even praying to our Great God that if it would be His will that you would MARRY ON A MOUNTAIN! He was so faithful and praise God that is exactly what you did! We loved working with you two and wish you the all the best!
