There are so many amazing places in the Colorado mountains to get married and Vail is always a favorite! We wanted to share a few of our favorite shots from a wedding we did in Vail with Todd & Michelle. They were married at the Vail Chapel; if you haven’t been there it is an adorable little church in the town of Vail with a grass area out back and a small stream. Michelle had a long veil and a beautiful bouquet of white roses and tulips. They had a large bridal party; 9 people on each side, with all of their close friends. Her bridesmaids wore different styles of long black dresses and carried bouquets of pink roses and tulips while the groomsmen wore simple white roses on their black jackets. Here is part 1 of 2 of Todd & Michelle’s wedding!

Between the ceremony and reception Todd & Michelle took a horse and carriage ride through Vail along the stream giving them time to be alone and talk. When they arrived at the reception their guests were drinking cocktails on the back patio of the Donavon’s Pavilion. The inside was beautiful with black table cloths, tall floral vases with pink flowers and blue chair ties and napkins. The room was beautifully put together and finished off with small candles on each of the tables. For table numbers they framed a picture and story with different places they had travelled together. They had an equally beautiful cake using the blue from their napkins and chair ties with white roses on the top. Each layer of the 3 tier cake had a different pattern using white icing and their initials on the bottom. Michelle is an artist so she had painted a picture of the Vail Chapel with a thick mat to display at their reception for their guests to sign. They had a long reception and danced for hours with their family and friends! Thank you Todd & Michelle!
We got in a little trouble
