The Best Of Motherly Tributes

Hayden and Cole's ceremony was held at the First Presbyterian Church of Durango under beautiful stained glass windows. The red pews, golden organ backdrop, and piano music for the walk down the aisle made the ceremony weighty and beautiful. The ceremony not only honored the faith of the couple and their genuine desire to serve Jesus through their relationship, but also was a tribute to the bride's mom who passed away several years prior. Every guest was tearful while witnessing the full circle moment of a wedding ceremony in the very spot the bride's parents said their vows decades before. The couple was even able to recreate one of Hayden's parents wedding photos with their own bridal party.

The Couple Brought The Energy

If you think the gorgeous ceremony was a tribute to the couple's faith and family, wait until you see the joy that spilled over into these amazing wedding photos by Morning Dew Photography! Throughout the entire day the guests fed off the couple's joyful, excited energy. From a celebratory boat entrance, to jumping up and down on the dance floor, to a delicious fall meal served by Dalty Cooks, the couple's enthusiasm was contagious. Such a great reminder that a wedding day tone is always set by the couple. And this tone was calm, celebratory and filled with so much joy!!

A Wedding On A Lake: Enough Said

Oh em gee if we could set up weddings on top of a lake every week, our job would be so magical! This wedding setting was unmatched. The leaves were turning on the trees, snow covered the mountains in the distance, and the sun sparkled on the picturesque mountain lake. Cocktail hour took place on the dock running out to the clubhouse and guests enjoyed the views and amazing weather while sipping the couple's favorite cocktail, beer and wine choices. The weather was just cool enough to provide a cozy, fall feel! Cocktail hour ended with Hayden and Cole entering by boat to their reception to the cheers of all their friends and family.
