I like days like today. Days where we get to really dive into a weekend long celebration, starting with this rehearsal dinner set among the beauty of the Colorado mountains, captured by Heather Payne. But this is just the beginning; we have the romantic wedding day itself on our Front Page coming next!
From Heather Payne… McKenzie and Brandon traveled to Telluride, Colorado, from New Mexico with 12 of their family members for their intimate celebration. They kicked of their celebratory weekend with an intimate lakeside Italian feast rehearsal dinner inspired by their love of nature and mountain views. The family stayed in a cabin surrounded by the beauty of the San Juan Mountains at the Observatory at Alta Lakes for the wedding weekend.
McKenzie saw the rehearsal dinner as a great opportunity to rock a flower crown and vibrant florals made by Kelly Perry of Philosophy Flowers. The dinner was set up along the Alta Lakes which was a perfect setting with breathtaking views. The table was covered with embossed sky-blue linens and crystal glasses.
The couple and I snuck away into the hills to photograph them surrounded by nature. They found the most perfect tree where the engraved their initials into the bark. It was the most perfect intimate celebration and the photos are priceless.
