FAQs About Your Colorado Springs Wedding:
1. Do I Need a Marriage License in Colorado?
Yes! The good news? Colorado makes it super easy. You and your partner can apply for a marriage license at any county clerk’s office in the state (El Paso County for Colorado Springs weddings). There’s no waiting period, and you don’t even need an officiant—yep, you can self-solemnize! I really dislike that word for some reason though. Self-solemnize? Eeek. Lets just say you get get married just the two of you 😉 Just for the record, Colorado Springs has recently stated they cannot have their pets sign as a witness anymore. 🙁 Sad day!
2. When is the Best Time to Get Married in Colorado Springs?
Every season here has its charm, but spring through fall is ideal if you want stunning outdoor photos. Summer brings warm sunshine and blue skies, while fall paints the mountains in golden hues. Winter weddings? Dreamy snow-covered landscapes, but keep an eye on the unpredictable weather! Even with snowstorms happening the day of – you can still get amazing snow photos (IF your willing to go out in it). Photo example:
