A-frame cabin wedding photos in Estes Park

This family cabin is the perfect photo spot. It’s a charming cabin in the woods with mountain views and frequent wildlife visits. I love how the red cabin brilliantly pops against the green pine forests in these photos.

And do you want to know something fun?!

While we were exploring the mountain property, Danielle stopped to point out a little wooden bridge she helped build as a kid. I then captured a photo of her walking across the bridge in her wedding dress and heels.

Rocky Mountain National Park wedding photos

During the planning process, I always share the best photo spots in Rocky Mountain National Park with couples to ensure they’ll have the very best photos. Couples will often choose multiple favorite spots, and enjoy a day of sightseeing! It helps keep the day exciting, new, and spontaneous as well.

First on our list was Sprague Lake, then 3M Curve, before wrapping up the evening on top of Trail Ridge Road. It was absolutely the perfect combination of locations that gave them a little bit of every scenery type in their photos.

And the best part? They didn’t have to hike miles and miles! It just looks like they did. 😉

3M Curve wedding photos

3M Curve (also a wedding site in Rocky Mountain National Park), offers sweeping views of Upper Beaver Meadows and epic mountain peaks. You even get beautiful views of Longs Peak from here! The view truly never gets old.

Trail Ridge Road wedding photos

There are many beautiful photo locations to explore along the drive up to Trail Ridge Road. Of course we stopped at some beautiful aspen groves along the way! There are a handful of forest areas in Rocky Mountain National Park where you can find seclusion. This is one of my favorites!
