When it comes to mountain weddings that feel both relaxed and elevated, Teagan and Tanner’s day in Evergreen, Colorado is one I’ll always remember. They tied the knot surrounded by towering trees and soft light. Along with the kind of calm that only happens when two people just know they’re meant to be together.
From the start, Teagan and Tanner planned a day that felt true to them. No stress, no unnecessary fluff, just intentional moments with their favorite people in one of the most beautiful parts of Colorado!! They chose Evergreen not just for the views (which are STUNNING), but for the sense of peace the area brings.
Their day flowed easily. They didn’t overpack their schedule, which meant more time for relaxed portraits and actual connection with their guests. From first looks to private vows in the trees. To a laid-back reception under the pines. The whole day was a reminder that weddings don’t need to be overproduced to be beautiful.
Getting Married in Evergreen, Colorado
Lighting and Timing
One of the best parts about getting married in Evergreen is the quality of natural light, especially in the late afternoon. The elevation and forest setting created such a soft, diffused light on overcast days and golden, glowy tones around sunset! If you’re planning your ceremony outdoors, aim for late afternoon or early evening to take full advantage of that dreamy mountain light without the harsh midday shadows.
Be Prepared for Weather
Even in the warmer months, Evergreen weather can be unpredictable. Mountain air cools quickly once the sun starts to go down, and summer storms can roll in unexpectedly. Having a backup plan, like a tented space or some extra layers for the evening, can save you a lot of stress and help guests stay comfortable throughout the day!
Hire Local Vendors When You Can
Vendors who are familiar with Evergreen and the surrounding mountain areas can make a huge difference when it comes to logistics. From navigating winding roads to knowing where the best light hits, local experience often means smoother timelines, more flexibility, and fewer surprises!!
Why I Loved Photographing This Day
Teagan and Tanner’s wedding was the kind of day that reminds me why I love photographing in Colorado. Evergreen offers that perfect blend of nature and ease, and when couples are relaxed and present like these two, the images tell the story for themselves! No forced posing, no overthinking. Just real connection, real laughter, and a location that doesn’t need much else to shine.

KIND WORDS
“I recommend Cheyenne in a heartbeat!! She is the sweetest person ever and made us feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera. Cheyenne is on so top of it, had so many visions that we would have never even thought of. Most of all, she leads with the kindest heart and a sense of humor. Everyone at our wedding raved about how wonderful Cheyenne was! We nearly cried seeing our sneak peek photos, they were SO beautiful. We feel so lucky to have worked with her.”
