If you’re dreaming of a romantic and stress-free summer wedding, Taylor and Joey’s stunning day at Highlands Ranch Mansion is all the inspiration you need. As a Colorado wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing many weddings, but this one stood out for its effortless beauty, joyful energy, and the pure love between two of the kindest souls.
A Perfect Summer Day at Highlands Ranch Mansion
Located just south of Denver, Highlands Ranch Mansion is one of the most iconic and elegant wedding venues in Colorado. With its historic architecture, lush gardens, and sweeping mountain views, it’s the kind of venue that feels straight out of a fairytale—especially in the golden light of a Colorado summer.
Taylor and Joey chose this gorgeous backdrop for their summer celebration, and it was absolute perfection. From the moment I arrived, the vibe was calm, joyful, and totally relaxed—just like them.
Taylor & Joey: Laid-Back, Full of Love, and So Much Fun
One of the things I love most about my couples is how they bring their unique personalities into their day. Taylor and Joey were all about keeping things simple, heartfelt, and fun. Their easygoing energy made the whole day feel like one big celebration with their favorite people—no stress, no rush, just genuine joy.
Taylor looked stunning in a timeless lace gown that flowed beautifully as she walked through the mansion’s gardens, while Joey kept things classic and cool in a classic black suit. Their first look was full of emotion, and from that moment on, they were inseparable.
Moments That Made the Day
Some of my favorite moments from the day included:
- Their emotional vows exchanged under the archway with the mansion behind them.
- A golden hour portrait session on the mansion’s front lawn—dreamy light, big smiles, and lots of laughter.
- Their lively dance floor and happy tears from family and friends.
Every detail—from the delicate floral arrangements to the personal touches in their ceremony—reflected who they are as a couple: warm, relaxed, and deeply in love.
