andrea & ryan

we felt like guests at andrea & ryan's rocky mountain wedding last weekend in granby, near our favorite colorado ski area, winter park. ryan & andrea planned a holiday weekend of fun for their guests, including thanksgiving dinner. they were sweet to include us in their pre- & post-wedding events which allowed us to meet family & friends. ever since their fun engagement shoot, they seemed so comfortable and relaxed around our cameras on the big day :) settle in for an epic entry...

the small details shined throughout the day.
