Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, Colorado is truly the perfect Colorado wedding venue. The grounds have the most pristine and beautifully maintained grass I’ve ever seen and a river with beautiful red cliffs that surround the whole venue. There are cabins for the couple and their family/bridal party to get ready in, an outdoor bar, an outdoor ceremony area surrounded by trees and the river, and a pavilion for the reception. The staff here are truly so helpful and professional. When I needed to go to one of the cabins at the end of the night to grab my extra gear, the owner drove me on one of their golf carts in the rain. I cannot recommend this venue enough. It’s less than an hour from Denver, but Lyons feels like a quaint mountain town tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

L+S’s wedding day was filled with so much love and laughter from start to finish. As a Colorado film photographer, I captured the day mostly on 35mm film, and I just love the story that these images tell so much. While I love the digital images I captured, nothing compares to the colors that film produces; I mean, just take a look for yourself. All photos below were taken on 35mm film
