Michelle + Matt | Colorado Vineyard Wedding | Colorado Wine Country Inn

Wine enters through the mouth,
Love, the eyes.
I raise the glass to my mouth,
I look at you,
I sigh.
– W.B. Yeats

Michelle and Matt had a beautiful Colorado vineyard wedding at the Wine Country Inn.  This was my first time shooting a vineyard wedding, as well as my first time in Palisade.  I had a really great time, and the venue was just wonderful!  My husband was my second shooter for this wedding (as he use to work with Michelle), and so we made a little mini-vacation out of it!  After a full-day of hard work shooting, I even got to enjoy some of the local wine. Derek opted for beer (as always)…only my hubby would drink beer at a vineyard LOL!

Michelle and Matt’s wedding was an intimate affair.  They exchanged vows, surrounded by family, their closest friends, and a whole lot of grapes!  The wine theme was incorporated throughout their day.  They had a wine unity ceremony, a wine bottle “guestbook”, cork and grape centerpieces, and a rich red color scheme.  One of my favorite details of the day was their cheesecake buffet.  I love, love, love cheesecake (way more than regular cake), then add in an array of fresh fruits, and I am one happy girl!  They had this in place of a traditional wedding cake.  It looked really beautiful, and guests seemed to enjoy it…especially those peaches that Palisade is known for 🙂


Maybe it’s just me, but it almost seems like the leaves make a heart around them!  LOVE!!

Thank you Michelle and Matt for trusting me to photograph your most special day.  I loved working with you guys and hope that like a fine wine, your love gets even better with age 🙂

Cheers!
