Vail Wedding Photographer - Fall Piney Lake Wedding, Vail, Colorado.

Mary Beth and Justin decided to hold their fall wedding up at Piney Lake, so I was very excited to be able to shoot their big day.  Piney Lake is a hidden gem in the valley and it requires you to drive 11 miles up an extremely bumpy, pot holed dirt road.  Once you turn the last bend and see the view of Piney Lake set against the Gore Range, it definitely makes the whole drive worth it.

Their wedding had so many gorgeous details from the cowboy boots to the signage set along the road, guiding guests towards the lake.  You never know how the weather is going to be in the Rockies in the fall, but we were lucky enough to have a perfect day with blue skies over Piney Lake.  Here are some of my favorite pics from their stunning day.

Denver is set to break another record temperature today, with an expected high of 93 degrees.  Although we are only 100 miles away, we're definitely getting a head start on cooler temperatures.  The aspens are starting to turn it's getting down to around 30 degrees at night.  This is easily the most beautiful time of the year in Vail, which meant Kristen and Ryan had a stunning fall backdrop for their wedding last week at Piney Lake.

Located 12 miles north of Vail, Piney Lake offers stunning scenery of the Gore Range.  They also rent out canoes and Kristen and Ryan were brave enough to get in one for a few photos.  If you look closely at some of the photos of Kristen, you can see the rain coming down.  Luckily she had a good attitude about it and the umbrella turned out to be a fun piece in a few of the photos.  

Here are a few of my favorite shots from their big day.  To see more, go to Kristen and Ryan's Fall Wedding at Piney Lake

Luckily the chair was easy to move and we were able to capture a shot of Kristen with The Gore Range in the background.
