A Groovy DIY Wedding at Raven Ring Ranch, Bellevue, Colorado

Have you ever been to a wedding so special and you just knew it was all about the love and the community that surrounds them? As I wind down busy season, am catching a breath of fresh air, and am starting to be able to slowly share some of the amazing couples I’ve had the honor of meeting, working with and capturing their day. And while there’s now way I can make a blog post long enough to explain the gorgeous wedding of C & R I’m going to try to.

Wedding Time Capsule

C & R's wedding at Raven Ring Ranch was one of those days that felt like pure magic from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of Bellevue, Colorado, this unique venue offered a stunning backdrop of aspens and wide-open spaces that set the stage for a celebration unlike any other. The vibe was groovy and a little bit funky, perfectly matching the couple's one-of-a-kind style and vision for the day.

Based in Love

As soon as I arrived at Raven Ring Ranch, I knew this wedding would be something special. The couple's personality radiated through every detail—they were truly "too cool for school," with an effortless vibe that said they were ready for whatever the day brought their way. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they created an atmosphere that was all about love, laughter, and the community that came together to make this day happen.

From the cassette tape seating cards to the vintage decor, the DIY details were a testament to the couple's creativity and the helping hands of their loved ones. Every piece felt personal, like a little love note from their community to the newlyweds. Even the flowers were handpicked and arranged by friends, adding a touch of rustic charm to the celebration.

As the ceremony began, the skies opened up and a light rain began to fall. The weather cannot dampen the mood, it only added flavor to the day C & R stood among the aspens, exchanging their vows that made it difficult to know where the rain stopped and the tears began.

After the ceremony, the party kicked off with an energy that matched the couple's vibrant spirit and a dance that I will never forget. Guests danced, laughed, and celebrated under a sky that slowly cleared, revealing a beautiful sunset over the Colorado mountains. It was a day that was perfectly imperfect, filled with moments that were real, raw, and completely unforgettable.

For anyone dreaming of a wedding that's all about authenticity, love, and the people who make your story complete, Raven Ring Ranch is a venue that delivers in every way. This groovy, DIY wedding was a reminder that the best celebrations are the ones where you stay true to who you are and let the love lead the way.
