September 4 wedding at Glen Eyrie Castle - Colorado Springs wedding photographer

Late summer and fall are always just perfect for weddings at Glen Eyrie Castle -- from the great temperature to the sun gleaming through leaves getting ready to turn, Heather and Tyler's wedding this last Sunday was no exception.


It's not uncommon to see bighorn sheep grazing in the canyon or even on the lawn in front of the castle, we saw both this time!

Relaxed portraits with Tyler. Like many guys, Tyler hadn't exactly been looking to the portraits all week but we made them quick, easy and very relaxed so Tyler looked great!

A pretty ceremony in the Great Hall. Heather's lantern decor was a unique accent:

The ringbearer and flowergirl dutifully followed the newlyweds out of the hall and around the corner, hahah!

Heather and Tyler didn't see each other before the ceremony so we made sure to have a private newlywed portrait session after the ceremony:
