Intimate Wedding at the Surf Hotel
small wedding at the surf hotel in buena vista, colorado
The Surf Hotel in Buena Vista has become a popular wedding & concert venue since it opened in 2018. Nestled along the Arkansas River, the Surf Hotel has multiple ceremony sites, a ballroom, a restaurant, and guest accommodation from hotel rooms to chateaus. I’m so glad I finally got to shoot a wedding here. Leah & Tanner had a beautiful ceremony in the Ivy Courtyard, toasted on the balcony of the restaurant Wesley & Rose, and walked along the river with their dogs to celebrate their wedding. It was a perfect day for them and I loved getting to capture these special photos.
The Ivy Courtyard is a beautiful space for a ceremony with a smaller group of guests. Leah & Tanner had their close family & friends to witness their vows & first kiss. They had their 2 cute dogs be their ring bearers, which I loved!! After a heartfelt ceremony, we headed to the deck at Wesley & Rose to toast the newlyweds. After that, we did some family photos by the river, which is just a short walk down the path from the restaurant. Then I got to get creative with Leah & Tanner for some portraits. They asked me to do my thing and I did! I love when couples are stoked on my style and give me free rein to create.
