Alta Lakes Wedding Photography and Videography
Sophie and Nick called us about their Alta Lakes Wedding photography and videography needs. We immediately knew this was going to be a highlight of our summer. Not only is the Alta Lakes Observatory in the mountains of Telluride Colorado an epic and adventurous wedding venue but this couple is one of a kind.
These two are kind and unassuming, approachable and magnetic, thoughtful and loving. And these aren’t just words I say. These are feelings I experienced in the process of getting to know them and witnessing them with their friends and families.
I always advise couples during the wedding planning stage to focus on their values and priorities. In the wedding planning industry, the craziness can take over and the next thing you know you’re adding line items to the budget for things you never wanted in life in the first place. This couple didn’t have to be reminded. They knew what was important to them.
Alta Lakes Wedding Videography
First up, the wedding videography! Let me tell you, a cabin on an alpine lake in a special place like this makes for quite the wedding video. The San Juan mountains put to shame what normal people think of mountains.
But that’s Colorado for ya, and that’s why it’s such an epic place to elope or get married. From getting ready in the cabin during a little rain to a first-look adventure to the stunning ceremony, this Colorado wedding is one to remember.
The guitar music was played live by their friend, one of the guests. Here I am spouting useless words about how beautiful this Telluride Colorado is when you really just want to move forward and see the video. Without further delay, hit play!
Alta Lakes Observatory Wedding Photography
Nick and Sophie wanted to have a fun wedding. They wanted to be somewhere beautiful with each other and enjoy nature on their wedding day. So, they made a plan that would make that possible and then executed their dream wedding.
Their dream wedding wasn’t a Pinterest board, no offense to Pinterest lovers out there. Their dream wedding was a feeling and their dream wedding was about having an incredible marriage experience. What fortune that they found us!
Our goal as wedding photographers is to help our couples have the best experience possible and then to capture moments of it and tell that story. If our couples are having an incredible day, that will show in the photos. If they are in love and full of joy, that will show in the photos.
Plus the Alta Lakes Observatory ceremony site was the perfect setting for this love story.

In addition to the beautiful lodge, there was an amazing vendor and catering team on site. I know I’m missing the makeup artist and perhaps some others on here too (feel free to reach out and I’ll add!)
It takes an adventurous crew to get up to the Alta Lakes Observatory. But an adventurous couple knows what they like and vendors like us love the adventure. They also had a ton of help from friends, family, and guests to make this wedding perfect.
