It’s no wonder why the Beaver Creek Wedding Chapel is such a sought after wedding venue in Colorado. Stepping onto the grounds can easily day-dream one into a European alpine setting. It’s stone facade sits quietly, yet majestically, tucked into layers of evergreens and aspens – and reaches out magnetically to almost every passer by. (It’s true, most weddings I have photographed at the Beaver Creek Chapel have involved someone standing guard to shoo away tourists. it is magnetic, I tell ya!) I’ve photographed the Beaver Creek Chapel in sun and snowfall, but McCall and Brannon’s wedding day was the first time I saw this setting in an evening rain. The weather created warm, intimate light inside the church, and allowed the darker details of the trees to show through the windows. That combination is a rare treat! Who says rain on a wedding day is bad news? Not this photographer. And certainly not this couple.
McCall and Brannon’s numero uno task was to celebrate their wedding vows amongst the ones they love the most. Beaver Creek was a destination wedding for this couple, so it was clear that the guests who surrounded them were the best-of-the best in their lives. McCall could sincerely be the most giggly, easy-natured bride I have ever worked with. Her smile was contagious! And it was obvious immediately that she had tons to smile about. Her life with Brannon included their beautiful baby daughter – and this day was a celebration of family. The love and support of this newly-wed trio resonated throughout the weekend. I’ve heard ‘it takes a village’ and – my, what a loving village these three had surrounding them.
And, I must toot a horn here. In the 10+ years I have photographed weddings throughout Colorado, I have never come across a wedding coordinator so lovely, organized, experienced, and fun than the amazing JoAnn from Mountains and Meadows. JoAnn and her staff were exceptional!
Thank you McCall and Brannon – this was a beautiful mountain wedding weekend! Here are just a few of my favorites:

out for the night, in the arms of her aunt.
