A Rustic-Chic Affair at Spruce Mountain I Lauren & Josh

November 25, 2017 February 24, 2018 From the Hip Photo2121 views

A beautiful day, a to-die for location, and a happy couple equal the perfect wedding for any photographer. Lauren and Josh’s stunning Spruce Mountain Ranch wedding checked off all three boxes, and then some! The pair’s big day was nothing short of spectacular. From mountain views, an elegant reception space, and pigs in a blanket–this wedding truly had it all.

The Natural Beauty of Spruce Mountain

Spruce Mountain Ranch was the perfect venue for this rustic-chic affair. Starting outside, the pair held their ceremony on the hillside of Spruce Mountain. Standing under a large wooden awning, with mountains in the background, the couple was all smiles as they exchanged vows. In a dress fit for a princess, Lauren was a sight to behold–competing even with the natural beauty of the landscape. Her groom was absolutely floored as the two shared an intimate first look.

It’s All In The Details

No detail left behind, the color palette for the day included a variety of colors to compliment the natural elements of the venue. Blues dominated the color palette, only to be broken up with pops of pink and green in the form of floral arrangements. True to their personality, the duo made sure the reception was full of fun surprises. Finger foods ranging from slices of french toast to cake pops, this couple made sure their guests were well fed. As the night went on the couple got a little jiggy with it, dancing the night away with eyes only for each other.

A Stylish Exit

Lauren and Josh ended the evening with a bang…or rather, a roar. They sped off in a vintage mustang–the perfect way to end the night. We can’t imagine a wedding more beautiful and authentic as Lauren and Josh’s big day, and gauging from the pure happiness that positively radiated from these two (even in photos), we are positive their life together will be just as magical as their wedding day.
