You Deserve Memories Like This!: September 4 wedding at Glen Eyrie Castle

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!

New, seasonal flowers at the castle entrance.

The aspen trees are just about ready to go gold...

Here's Heather smoothing out her dress in the spacious bridal suite upstairs:

Fun bright shoes to match the flowergirl's dress:

A gorgeous Tiger Lily and Cali Lily bouquet from Bella Studios

Finishing touches on the dress:

Heather looking stunning in the bridal suite -- I love the window light in here, it's so flattering to the brides and her eyes are amazing!

Some last moments with dad...

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!

The guys on the march. Little ringbearer Logan was into this!

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!

Another perfect day at the Castle!

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:

One of the prettiest wedding cakes we've ever seen from Boonzaaijer's Dutch Bakery!

Heather & Tyler's grand entrance for an intimate reception on the terrace in perfect Colorado weather:

Heather and Tyler had a storybook getaway with bubbles and a horse-drawn carriage from Olson Carriage & Harness:
