September Outdoor Estes Park Wedding

Join us for Kimberly and Alex Carlson’s September day captured beautifully by the talented Kelsey Cole Photography. These two love birds met through mutual friends at the end of their senior year of college at the University of Florida in 2015. After three years of long distance, Kimberly joined Alex in Colorado upon completing graduate school. Alex planned a fun day at Garden of the Gods to celebrate Kimberly’s birthday. This special day ended  with a proposal in front of the beautiful views at Mesa Overlook.
 
Although the couple reside in Colorado Springs, they are both originally from Florida.  Most of the anticipated wedding guests live scattered around the East Coast. The two truly wanted to show their loved ones the beauty and serenity of the mountains of Colorado without the bustle of a big ski town. They felt drawn to Rocky Mountain National Park and appreciated the accessibility to DIA. This made Estes Park the ideal spot. They had an outdoor ceremony in mind and fell in love with the organic feel that the Taharaa ceremony space provided. They also loved the the mountain views from the dining and cocktail spaces. The proximity to the park was important as they couple also wanted bridal portraits to take place within rocky. They also enjoyed the ability to switch to an indoor space should a mountain storm pop up. The two noted that the onsite catering and staff’s willingness to accommodate special diets did not go unnoticed. 

They envisioned a day full of  time spent surrounded by quality friends and family in a beautiful outdoor Colorado fall setting. They wanted the focus to be on celebrating with amazing food,  drinks and high energy live music.  “Taharaa and our vendors over exceeded our vision” the bride recalls.
