An Adventurous Mountain Love Story

Danielle and Stephen are a match made in adventure. Their shared love of travel, ice cream, and their dog Rambo made their wedding day at Frisco Day Lodge one of the most fun and heartfelt celebrations we have ever captured.

We love teaming up for intimate and adventurous weddings, and this couple brought the best of both worlds. Before the ceremony, we headed to the stunning Sapphire Point in Dillon for some incredible couples portraits with Rambo the pup right by their side.

At From the Hip Photo, we specialize in capturing the authentic emotion and stunning natural beauty of Colorado mountain weddings. With almost two decades of experience, we know all of the perfect spots for breathtaking portraits across Summit County and beyond.

Sapphire Point Adventure

Before the ceremony at Frisco Day Lodge, we could not pass up visiting the stunning Sapphire Point in Dillon for some incredible couples photos. Rambo the pup would not have missed this for the world!

Sapphire Point offers panoramic views of the Dillon Reservoir and surrounding mountain peaks, making it one of the most popular spots in Summit County for wedding and elopement photography. The short trail to the overlook provides a variety of backdrops from dense pine forests to wide-open mountain vistas.

We love scouting locations like this ahead of time so we know exactly where to take couples for the best light and most dramatic compositions. If you are planning a mountain wedding in Colorado, we would love to help you find the perfect portrait spots.

Mountain Wedding FAQ

What is the best time of year for a mountain wedding at Frisco Day Lodge?
Frisco Day Lodge is stunning year-round, but summer and early fall (June through September) offer the most reliable weather for outdoor ceremonies with lush greenery and wildflowers. Winter weddings at the lodge provide a magical snowy backdrop with the mountains draped in white. Late afternoon light in any season creates gorgeous golden-hour portraits against the mountain views. Our Denver wedding photography team can help you plan your timeline around the best light for any season.
Can we do wedding photos at Sapphire Point and Frisco Day Lodge on the same day?
Absolutely! Sapphire Point in Dillon is only about 15 minutes from Frisco Day Lodge, making it easy to capture portraits at both locations. Many couples do first-look or couples portraits at Sapphire Point before heading to the lodge for the ceremony and reception. We recommend building 45 to 60 minutes of travel and photo time into your timeline for this combination. Reach out to learn more about how we help plan multi-location mountain wedding timelines.
Are dogs allowed at mountain wedding venues in Summit County?
Many Summit County venues welcome well-behaved dogs as part of the wedding party. Sapphire Point allows leashed dogs on the overlook trail, and several lodge-style venues in the Frisco and Dillon area are pet-friendly. We love including furry family members in wedding photos and have plenty of experience capturing those special moments with your pup — just like we did with Danielle and Stephen’s dog Rambo at this wedding!
How do you handle altitude and weather at mountain wedding venues?
Frisco sits at about 9,100 feet elevation, so we always remind couples to hydrate well and plan for variable weather. We scout backup indoor locations in advance, bring gear for rain or wind, and know how to work quickly when weather shifts. Our years of experience shooting in Colorado’s mountains means we always have a plan B and can adapt on the fly to capture stunning photos regardless of conditions. Contact us for tips on planning your mountain wedding timeline.
How far in advance should we book a mountain wedding photographer?
We recommend booking your mountain wedding photographer 8 to 12 months in advance, especially for summer and fall dates. Mountain venues in Summit County are extremely popular, and top photographers book up quickly during peak wedding season. Early booking also gives us time to scout your venue, plan your timeline around the best light, and coordinate with your other vendors. Check our availability now to secure your date.
What makes From the Hip Photo different for mountain weddings?
