Intimate Yampa Botanic Gardens Wedding {Colorado Wedding & Elopement Photographer} Madi+Ryan

Oooooh Madi and Ryan, I put off blogging long enough!  I could blame it on baby Archer, but we all know I hate blogging.  It's mostly because I don't know what to say or where to start.  

Well, I love this couple so much!  They are good friends of my husband and mine, and they are some of the most light-hearted, goofy, adventurous people I know.  They just want to ride their bikes down every trail and explore with Piper-dog (their French Bulldog child, who you will see shortly).  I had the privilege to watch their love story grow from the day Ryan proposed to when they said their vows.  

I've never been so excited for a wedding!  The ceremony was on June 24th, 2017 at the Yampa Botanical Gardens in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, which is Madi's hometown.  It is such a gorgeous area and I can honestly say I fell in love with Colorado!  They had a unique circular setup for the ceremony space with a background of the pond, trees and rolling hills.  The reception took place at the Art Depot in Steamboat Springs next to the Yampa River.  Their personality came through in every detail throughout the day.  These two are so cool that they were even game to hike up Fish Creek Falls for photos after the reception.  All in all, it was a pretty amazing day for these two lovebirds and I am grateful to have been a part of their new adventure.  Congrats again Mr. and Mrs. Nagel, love you!
