Aubrey and Jimmy got married at one of my favorite places in Colorado, Cherokee Ranch and Castle. This is a real life castle on a hill Southwest of Denver with unparalleled panoramic views of the mountains. For Aubrey, who wanted to get married at Walt Disney World, this was a perfect place for their wedding. Their families are ranchers in the area, and the combination of a castle and a ranch right at home was a perfect fit for them.

This was one of the most emotional weddings I’ve had the pleasure to photograph. Both Jimmy and Aubrey’s families have a strong matriarchy, and the generations of women were present and moved for the couple and their marriage throughout the day. Jimmy’s friends were overjoyed for him as well! Aubrey’s father dressed both as a knight before the wedding, and as Darth Vader for the wedding ceremony adding an air of fun to the day.
