Piney River Ranch Wedding
Allison and Ben’s Piney River Ranch wedding in Vail, Colorado had a wilder, more open feel to it — Piney Lake stretching out beneath the mountains, the ceremony set against the water, and a pace that moved naturally between the shoreline and the ranch itself. The setting gave the day a stronger sense of distance and scale, but the photographs still stay close to the smaller interactions that carried it forward.
There were portraits by Piney Lake, time in the canoe, ceremony views framed by the Gore Range, and a reception that shifted into the darker wood and warmth of the lodge. Taken together, the gallery feels shaped as much by the remoteness of Piney River Ranch as by the wedding itself — expansive, quiet, and deeply tied to the landscape around it.
