Whimsical Evergreen Colorado Wedding in the Summertime

Mar 11

Makenna and Cameron's summer wedding in Evergreen, CO, is one of my absolute favorites. From the moment they reached out to me through a sweet friend's referral, I knew it was going to be something special. Their wedding took place at the home of one of Cameron's parents' friends, and let me tell you — backyard weddings can absolutely hold their own against any venue. This gorgeous, intimate setting made for a perfect backdrop for Makenna and Cameron’s big day. There was just something so personal and magical about it, and I can’t wait to take you through all my favorite details. Keep reading for all the little moments that made this wedding unforgettable!

Whimsical Evergreen Colorado Wedding in the Summertime

A Magical Evergreen Colorado Wedding to Start the Season Right

Makenna and Cameron’s wedding was the perfect way to kick off my wedding season last year in Colorado, especially after coming back from a stunning wedding in Scotland (which I’ll link to here! Trust me, you’ll want to see it!). Walking into the beautiful Colorado greenery with this large yet intimate vibe felt like such a refreshing way to dive back into the season. Makenna's vision for the day was a woodsy, fairytale-inspired wedding, and I think we all nailed it. From the details to the atmosphere, it was everything she dreamed of. And these two? The sweetest humans, so in love and thrilled to celebrate with their guests. Their portraits turned out stunning, but I also love the candid shots I grabbed throughout the dinner and reception. Take a peek!

From High School Sweethearts to Newlyweds

Makenna and Cameron's love story is one of true friendship and growth. They met in high school and, over the past seven years, they've not only been partners in love but also each other’s best friend. From living just five minutes apart to navigating the challenges of long-distance, they’ve supported each other through some of the toughest moments in life. Their bond has only deepened as they’ve learned to face the world’s challenges together, always with one another by their side.

As they look back on their wedding photos in 20 years, Makenna and Cameron hope to feel the same sense of adventure and joy they’ve shared since day one. They cherish living in the moment and embracing the little things, and they wanted their wedding photos to reflect that. Their playful, adventurous spirits were a perfect fit for my photography style, which they loved for its candid, in-the-moment shots full of energy and movement. It was such a blast capturing their connection, and I hope these photos will continue to remind them of how far they've come and the beautiful love they share.
