Their Story: "We met at work, but he conveniently didn't know who I was until a night out with mutual friends. We decided on a smaller wedding in Colorado for a few reasons: We both LOVE the mountains, fishing, and just being outdoors enjoying nature. We want our wedding to be about US, and celebrating with those we love most, rather than a big overdone wedding and party.”  © Kathryn Kim Photography As couples today opt for intimate and unique ceremonies, small weddings are more popular than ever. Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado is an excellent place to host an intimate wedding ceremony that is both breathtaking and memorable. For Chelsea and Daniel, their big day at Lily Lake was everything they had wished for - a beautiful ceremony in an incredible location, surrounded by their closest loved ones. If you are looking for small wedding venues in Colorado, then Lily Lake is a perfect choice. Read on to get inspired, and learn how you can plan your small wedding in Rocky Mountain National Park using Cheese and Daniel as inspiration..  © Kathryn Kim Photography The day's preparations started with Chelsea getting her hair and makeup done by her bridesmaid and later getting ready at the VRBO with her mom and four close friends. The couple opted not to have a first look and convoyed with their group to Lily Lake, where the ceremony took place. The ceremony was short, sweet, and intimate, with stunning mountain views in the background. After the ceremony, group photos were taken, and guests were sent ahead to The Barrel Brewery in Estes Park, where a delicious dinner awaited them.  © Kathryn Kim Photography As Chelsea and Daniel posed for pictures in the picturesque Rocky Mountain National Park, their love was palpable, making for magical wedding photos.

About WendeeI've been planning weddings since 1995 when I moved to Colorado from Iowa. I cut my teeth at Keystone Resort in their wedding department, then ventured on to planning corporate meetings. But, I kept helping friends, and their friends with weddings, eventually starting my first full-service company in 2002 (yes - planned the big overwhelming ones).

Barba, one of our talented professional photographers, captured me at work from one of our May 2023 weddings in Boulder, Colorado.
