Danielle + Dave | Hermit Park Wedding Photos | Estes Park Photographer

February 1, 2023

Happy February friends! New month, new blog post. Today I am sharing Danielle and Dave’s Hermit Park wedding photos. These two had an intimate, personal wedding at one of their favorite mountain locations, just outside of Estes Park. My assistant photographer and I met up with Danielle for some getting ready photos at the Inn at Fall River. Dave met up us there as well, and that is where they shared their first look together. We also captured some romantic bride and groom portraits by the river and with the cool water feature wall at the inn, before we headed down the mountain. We made a quick pit spot at the popular Estes Park sign. Since they had visited there years ago while visiting Colorado during their dating relationship. They loved Colorado so much, they eventually made the move here too!

Once we arrived at Hermit Park Open Space we captured a bunch more romantic couple’s portraits prior to the ceremony. This is one of the best parts about doing a first look earlier in the day…lots of time for bride and groom photos! Some of my favorite parts of Danielle and Dave’s Estes Park wedding were the horse drawn carriage ceremony entrance, as well as the officiant using the best man’s back as a “writing table” for them to sign their marriage license. What a funny moment! Their wedding happened to fall on national sugar cookie day, so wolf sugar cookies were a great wedding favor for their guests. I also really loved their unique guestbook. They had a bottle of champagne for their one year anniversary. As well as bottles of wine for their one year, their three year, and their five year anniversaries. Guests signed the bottles with their well wishes!
