Winter weddings might be our new favorite thing after putting together this elegant winter inspired shoot with Mariah Lehnert of DetailsDetails. The gold and green wedding details of Angela & Patrick’s intimate celebration made the all-white cottage at The Barn at Raccoon Creek feel oh-so-festive and wintery. The grounds of this charming Denver venue also include a beautiful lake showcasing the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the background. Naturally, we were drawn to capturing sunset bride and groom portraits here, using Angela’s veil as the sun set perfectly behind the water 🙂 The air was crisp and cold, but the golden afternoon light of winter made for breathtaking portraits!

December just might be the most underrated month for weddings. Wintery colors and soft sunsets will truly pop on camera. Don’t just take our word for it, see for yourself! We hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed creating them 🙂
