Let me take you behind the scenes of one of the dreamiest, snow-globe-worthy weddings I’ve ever had the honor of photographing: Maria and Devereux’s magical day at Spruce Mountain Ranch.
Nestled in the heart of Colorado’s mountain charm, Spruce Mountain Ranch is one of those venues that seems to wrap you in rustic elegance, wide-open spaces, and just the right dose of mountain magic. But nothing—nothing—could have prepared us for the real-life winter wonderland that showed up on Maria and Devereux’s wedding day.
Yep, you read that right. This sweet couple said “I do” as fluffy snowflakes poured from the sky in the most beautiful way. Maria had dreamed of a snowy winter wedding, and let me tell you—she got her wish. It started snowing HARD. Like, the kind of snow that makes you feel like you’re in a Hallmark movie.
And while it may have made everyone a little nervous (okay, okay… I may have had to gently nudge Maria to step outside into the snowstorm for just five minutes for portraits 😅), those epic bride and groom photos were so worth it. Her white dress against the falling snow, the way Devereux looked at her like she was the only thing that existed in the world—pure magic. Total chills (both from the snow and the love).
The joy these two radiated was contagious. Their love is the kind that glows, even in a blizzard. You could feel their excitement to start forever together, surrounded by their family and friends, wrapped up in the warmth of their celebration (and maybe a few cozy blankets too).
And the venue? Let’s talk about Spruce Mountain Ranch for a second. This Colorado gem is made for couples who want mountain views, rustic elegance, and plenty of room for dancing the night away. Whether it’s the sweeping vistas, the cozy indoor spaces, or the tucked-away corners perfect for intimate portraits, Spruce Mountain Ranch is truly a dream spot to tie the knot—no matter the season.
If you’re dreaming of a winter wedding or just love the idea of getting married surrounded by Colorado’s natural beauty, Spruce Mountain Ranch might just be your spot. Maria and Devereux’s snow-filled celebration is proof that a little weather can turn into something unforgettable—with the right attitude and the right photographer by your side (hi, it’s me Michelle, your Colorado Springs wedding photographer 🙋♀️).
So here’s to snowy kisses, brave brides, and the kind of love that warms you up from the inside out. Maria and Devereux, thank you for letting me capture your best day ever. I’ll be swooning over these photos for a long, long time. ❄️ -Michelle with Michelle Betz Photography
