Riverbend Lyons Wedding Photographer - Lyons, Colorado

If you want to have a mountain wedding on a river, then the Riverbend in Lyons, CO is a great option.

This venue has plenty of room for hundreds of guests at the ceremony site as well as at the reception tent.

There are mules that wear harnesses to carry beverages around during cocktail hour, a ton of open space for guests to wander and enjoy the river and wooded areas.

The areas for getting ready are fancy yurts which were cool for unique photos.

Katie and Brandon

Oct. 26th, 2018

Today was a busy day with lots of amazing places for wedding pictures. We started out at the Residence Inn for getting ready images, then met Brandon in the lobby for the first look. Brandon and Katie are the kind of couple that look at each other with the most genuine expressions all day, so this moment was very special. Next, we drove to the LaSalle bridge and the gardens at the Art Institute for more photos. The reception hall is very unique and full of lots of different kinds of art, sculptures, neon signs and architecture. The arch for the ceremony was made out of old picture frame corners! It was a challenge to photograph the ceremony and reception at this venue, but totally worth it for the unique images. Katie, Brandon and their bridal party were so kind and very easy to work with.

Illinois Wedding Photographer - Mike and Eden

Nov. 11th, 2018

Eden and Mike had been dating for about 12 years and have known each other since high school. They are finally husband and wife! Eden and Mike are such kind people with so much love for their friends and family. I saw so many hugs and heard words of love exchanged constantly throughout the day. Eden’s sister Cheyenne told her she loved Eden almost every time she saw her that day! This wedding was very focused on the guests and truly making the day a celebration with everyone that Eden and Mike are closest to. I felt very welcomed by both their friends and family while we spent the day together eating dinner, dancing and celebrating. I loved being a part of their day.
