Denver Backyard Wedding Reception

Wedding August 28, 2021

Alex and Dave got married in North Carolina earlier this year and then hosted a bigger wedding reception at their home in Denver!

You may remember them from their engagement photos at Cerebral Brewing and their house! Alex has such an eye for design and turning older things into incredible household decor. Check out her instagram!

Vendors
Photography: me!
Catering: Mountain Crust
Flowers: DIY via Rocky Mountain Petals and Pine
Furniture & Decor: mostly thrifted from ARC and FB Marketplace
Neon sign: Saturday Neon
Caricatures: Ted Intorcio
Ice cream: Bonnie Brae
Linens: Colorado Party Rentals

It was so awesome to see people shower Alex & Dave with so much love. The couple opted to have a private ceremony in North Carolina and then host their wedding reception in their own backyard—the best of both worlds! They had always planned for that even pre-pandemic.

Alex is so thoughtful about details, and that’s evidenced by how carefully she put all the elements together. She collected this furniture herself! Keep scrolling for inspiration for your own party or reception ;). There are so many ways to make your party personal and FUN.


They had a caricature artist!! How fun!
And a PIZZA FOOD TRUCK! That is what dreams are made of. This is basically all my dream wedding reception.

The lounge setups were amazing, especially at night when the string lights were glowing above. I love how they had several different spots for people to relax and hang out with others.

I will always be a fan of instax guestbooks! I wish we had done that for our wedding!

This spot was probably my favorite! They ordered that sign from Saturday Neon, and Alex DIY’d the flowers herself!

They had custom fortune cookies made as well! Their cat’s name is Soy.

Soy even got dressed up in a bowtie for the special occasion! I’m so happy they printed out their beautiful wedding photos from Live View Studios—this is your reminder to print photos and not just keep them on your phone or computer! 🙂


They also had cats from Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue! Cats, caricatures, pizza, cornhole, ice cream, neon signs, fortune cookies… this is how you throw a wedding reception—make it personal and fun!


We even got to listen to Dave play bluegrass with his friends at the end of the night! What a treat.

Alex and Dave, congratulations! You throw the BEST parties!

Vertical photo post featuring the incredibly stunn Vertical photo post featuring the incredibly stunning Lindy and her beautiful venue and florals and the talent of their vendors!!! 

Last year I got to photograph a wedding ceremony by some pretty redwood trees, and this year I traded those for aspens. Clear creek inn and the town of Georgetown are so cute!!

Also, a champagne toast at the end of the ceremony is a great idea 💯

Now I will delete this app again, go into my editing cave, and see this beautiful inside and out couple on my screen every night! You can see some more previews in my story highlights

Congrats to Lindy, Zach, and their little girl!!! Congrats to Lindy, Zach, and their little girl!!! These two got married on Saturday in Georgetown, and the predicted all-day rain thankfully stayed away 🎉

I was delighted and honored that they moved their wedding from Kentucky to Colorado (where they live now) and asked me to photograph their nuptials. One of my favorite parts of weddings is seeing all the family and friends love on each other and the couple—Lindy and Zach’s community is amazing and I love that I got to meet them. I get to photograph the best people 💕and it’s clear from the way that people talk about these two that they are especially thoughtful, gracious, and welcoming. 

For now here are a few horizontal photo previews!
