I typically recommend early-to-late afternoon ceremonies (2-4 PM) to avoid harsh midday sun, or late afternoon (5-6 PM) to capture golden hour during your vows. The venue sits at 7,000 feet elevation, so light patterns differ from lower elevations.

Documentary. I capture real moments as they happen—genuine emotion during vows, the laugh during toasts, the quiet moment before walking down the aisle. Minimal posing, maximum authenticity.

Standard coverage runs 8+ hours, from getting-ready through reception and any send-off. Extended coverage is available if you want arrival photography or post-celebration moments.
