A BUENA VISTA WEDDING AT THE BARN AT SUNSET RANCH

My Favorite Locations to say “I Do" in CO:

I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Longmont, Colorado, documenting couples who value genuine experiences over elaborate productions. I make sure your day feels like you, however unscripted it looks.

Hey, Alyssa here!

Caitlin and Justin’s wedding at The Barn at Sunset Ranch in Buena Vista, Colorado, was one that I still dream about to this day! Tucked away in the heart of the Rockies, this venue offers the perfect mix of mountain views and laid-back charm and it matched Caitlin and Justin’s energy perfectly!!

From the start, the day was full of laughter and positive energy. Caitlin and Justin are just those kinds of people who makes you feel like you’ve known them forever. The groomsmen set the tone early with their goofy antics and hilarious poses. Seriously, if there were an award for Most Entertaining Wedding Party, these guys would win it hands down.

One of the most memorable parts of the day? Caitlin and Justin’s two adorable dogs. Not only were they a part of the celebration, but they actually signed the marriage license. Yes, with their paw prints. It doesn’t get more “family affair” than that.

After their emotional first look, Caitlin and Justin stepped aside to exchange private vows. It was quiet, heartfelt, and incredibly genuine, a moment just for the two of them before the rest of the day unfolded.

And let’s talk about their cake. Blush and Blue Baking Co created the sweetest (literally and figuratively) dessert. Topped with Polaroid pictures of the couple, it was simple, personal, and perfectly them. Every detail of their wedding felt intentional, and you could tell how much love went into the planning.

The Barn at Sunset Ranch was the ideal backdrop for their celebration! Rustic wood beams, golden hour light pouring over the mountains, and a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged everyone to just be.

It’s hard not to fall in love with this Buena Vista gem, especially when it’s hosting a couple as kind and fun as Caitlin and Justin.
