Colorado Ranch Wedding Photography and Videography
Photographing Colorado Ranch Weddings
Getting married in Colorado is a dream for couples drawn to wide open landscapes, natural beauty, and an adventurous spirit woven into their wedding day. Ranch weddings in particular offer a rare combination of expansive scenery and intimate, intentional celebration. From open meadows and golden aspen groves to forested ceremony sites and sweeping mountain backdrops, Colorado ranch venues create a setting that feels both elevated and grounded.
As a Colorado based wedding photographer and videographer, I specialize in documenting ranch weddings across the Front Range and Rocky Mountains. These venues often come with unique considerations, including changing light, wide open spaces, and celebrations that unfold organically over an entire weekend. My approach is calm, observant, and editorial, allowing couples to stay present while I capture moments that feel natural, refined, and true to the experience.
Locations like Nederland, Colorado are especially well suited for couples seeking a quieter, more off the beaten path atmosphere without sacrificing visual impact. Whether a celebration takes place at a historic ranch, a private mountain property, or a working estate, my goal is to create imagery that reflects both the landscape and the personal story at the heart of the day.
A Caribou Ranch Wedding in Nederland, Colorado
Caribou Ranch is a historic mountain venue tucked into the foothills outside Nederland, Colorado, surrounded by dense forest, open clearings, and expansive views that shift beautifully with the seasons. Its secluded setting and natural landscape make it an ideal location for couples planning a Colorado ranch wedding that feels intimate, intentional, and deeply connected to the outdoors.
Carly and Tucker’s early fall wedding at Caribou Ranch reflected the understated elegance and organic flow that ranch weddings do so well. Their celebration unfolded naturally throughout the day, allowing space for quiet moments, meaningful details, and relaxed time with family and friends. The forest setting and soft mountain light created a timeless backdrop for both photography and film, while the layout of the property encouraged a seamless transition from ceremony to reception.
Carly is the founder and creative director of Milk Glass Productions, a luxury wedding and event planning studio based in Colorado. Her background in large scale event production and design brought a thoughtful, refined vision to the day while honoring the natural beauty of the ranch setting. This Caribou Ranch wedding was featured on Rocky Mountain Bride, highlighting a celebration that blended elevated design with the rugged charm of the Colorado landscape
