YOUR SPRUCE MOUNTAIN RANCH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PROPOSAL
A WEDDING ROOTED IN CONNECTION & THE COLORADO LANDSCAPE
Congratulations, Sydney & Ethan! Your September wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch sounds like such a beautiful celebration. With around 100 guests, a full day on the ranch, and a focus on authentic moments, your wedding has all the ingredients for a gallery that feels emotional, natural, and true to you.
You’ve described wanting the posed photographs that matter — family, wedding party, and portraits — while also allowing the day to unfold naturally. That balance is exactly what I love to photograph.

YOUR WEDDING VISION
Your priority is authenticity: fewer forced poses, more real moments, while still having the classic photographs you’ll want to look back on.
That means I’ll intentionally create space for family portraits, wedding party photographs, and beautiful couple portraits, while allowing the rest of the day to unfold naturally around them.
The goal is a gallery that feels like you experienced your wedding — not like you spent the whole day posing for it.
THE LIGHT & COLOR STORY
September at Spruce Mountain Ranch gives us beautiful Colorado light, open landscapes, and a natural sense of warmth and depth.
I’ll use the landscape and available light to create portraits that feel elevated and intentional, while keeping the candid portions of the day natural and true-to-color.

WHY SPRUCE MOUNTAIN RANCH IS PERFECT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
- Colorado landscapes: Sweeping mountain views and open ranch scenery.

YOUR PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATION
Based on your vision and $3,000 budget, I recommend:
SIGNATURE WEDDING COVERAGE — 8 HOURS | $3,000
This gives us time for getting ready, portraits, ceremony, golden hour, and meaningful reception coverage.
For more flexibility and coverage through the end of the evening, the 9-hour collection — $3,300 is a great option.
