colorado state flower garden – samantha + casey – fort collins wedding photography
Samantha & Casey asked me to join for a weekend of fun. Their wedding was during New West Fest in Fort Collins, and of course I was excited, music festivals are my jam! They had so many amazing family and friends join, that it kind of made me feel like I was part of the crew.
Shortly before their wedding, Samantha took a bit of a fall and broke her foot, but that didn’t prevent her from having a smile on her face and enjoying every moment of a perfectly planned wedding weekend.
Our first location, was for a quick group photo for their rehearsal dinner attendees. Then we got the opportunity to be in the heart of downtown at the bar they met, Elliot’s Martini Bar. We sipped on some cocktails and soon enough more friends joined the fun.
On their wedding day, Samantha & Casey both got ready at The Armstrong Hotel and man that place has a gorgeous old time feel! It’s one of these hotels that you want to come back to just for fun! For the first look, we then ventured off to The Oval on the Colorado State campus grounds. Holy cow, we could have stayed there the whole day taking photos. The trees were massive and the grounds were so well kept and pristine.
Samantha & Casey made her way to the ceremony on horse and carriage to the Colorado State Flower Garden. I’ve never seen so many beautiful flowers & plants. (p.s. I’ve never been to Denver Botanic Gardens, don’t yell at me) Their ceremony fit them perfectly; funny, quirky, and fully of so many great facial expressions. Casey even surprised her by bringing a scooter to roll with her back down the aisle!
All in all it was such a beautiful, laid back wedding that fit Samantha & Casey perfectly. Congrats you guys!! Can’t wait to see you again soon!
The wedding day!
