Powderhorn Mountain Resort Wedding

powderhorn mountain resort wedding

Kaitlin and Ben's Powderhorn Mountain Resort Wedding was drop dead gorgeous. It's no secret I love the fall. The air just feels special and the trees look amazing. As I got off the interstate and began driving up the to resort my heart began to sing. No better way to feel prior to photographing someones wedding. On the way I found this giant patch of Bur Oak that was glowing and looked on fire. These trees have so much character and grow super slow.

A fun connection to Powderhorn for Kaitlin and Ben is that Ben was a ski instructor here a while ago. They even got ready in the ski school building. I love that stuff.

Kaitlin and Ben are so much fun and love each other very deeply. They even kicked off their reception doing deadlifts on the porch and invited their guests to do the same. Given they sign a waiver. Hahaha. Pretty cool way to be personal and start your party.

Powderhorn is this smaller ski resort near Palisade and Grand Junction Colorado. Growing up in Montrose myself, I did make it here when I was younger a few times, although when your school gets a super cheap pass to Telluride. You go to Telluride. It's great for beginners and only has 3 lifts. 1 including the "bunny slope." Surprisingly, there are black runs and a few blues. Tickets are a bit cheaper than the mid Colorado resorts so its worth a shot if you're close or to spend a few days but not throw down thousands of dollars on a weekend.

While the reception space and dancefloor could use an update, the ceremony space has a great view and the surrounding area is perfect for photos. There are lots of options for your guests to stay and really make it a weekend. While the resort doesn't have a lot of summer "activities," there is lots of great hiking, mountain biking on the Grand Mesa. It's a great spot to just get away from it all.

The resort has some tiny home circles with firepits that people can rent right up by the lodge and that's where most of the bridal party stayed. They were pretty nice and fun to hang out under the stars.

If you are considering a Powderhorn Mountain Resort Wedding I would love to be your photographer.
