Vail Wedding at the Donovan Pavilion and Beaver Creek Chapel | Courtney & Chris

Destination photographer in Vail Colorado. - True North Photography Kira Vos (Horvath)

I absolutely love photographing destination weddings in the mountains. Vail and Beaver Creek are two of my favorite resorts to photograph and they never seem to disappoint. No matter how ominous the weather may look at times, I seem to always luck out with beautiful light to make photos in. Courtney and Chris were a blast to work with. From getting ready at the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa, to their tear-filled ceremony at the Beaver Creek Chapel, to our amazing portrait session in east Vail with the Gore Range as our stunning backdrop and finishing the night off at the Donovan Pavilion. The day couldn’t have gone better and I want to give special thanks to day of coordinator Jill Chalfant whose amazing skills kept the day running so smoothly!

Sweet words from a beautiful bride:

“I knew from the minute I saw Kira’s photos online I needed her as my wedding photographer! She takes beautiful pictures and is able to capture those memorable candid moments that no one else can! She was professional from start to finish and fun to work with. She was right there when I needed her to catch specific moments but allowed us enough space to forget she was even there. Kira was able to capture our special day perfectly. Looking at her photos was like reliving the most important day of our lives over & over again. We LOVE her work and couldn’t be happier with the photos.”

Vail Mountain Wedding Photos | Molly & Eric

Recently I had the pleasure to work alongside the very talented Kara Pearson Photography to photograph Molly and Eric’s Vail mountain wedding. I worked with the men, capturing them going through all of their pre-wedding rituals before we all met up on top of Vail mountain for a stunning first-look. The day was incredibly beautiful and their outside ceremony and reception at the Donovan Pavilion was a joy to document. Here are some of my favorite Vail mountain wedding photos from their day.

Vail Mountain Wedding at the Piney River Ranch | Beth & Robbie

Piney River Ranch is one of my favorite wedding venues in Colorado. It is not the easiest place to get to and I imagine guests making the hour drive up the treacherous dirt road wonder where the heck they are being taken but when they pull up and see the breathtaking views all of their questions should be answered.

I had the pleasure to get to know Beth & Robbie last fall during their engagement session and knew they were going to be wonderful to work with. A kind, generous and playful couple, I loved capturing them making each other smile throughout the picture perfect day (no pun intended). After we exhausted all the beautiful locations at Piney River the couple joined their guests for a night filled with wonderful food and dancing at the Donovan Pavilion.

Thanks so much to Cori with Cori Cook Floral Designs, Erica at Colorado Occasions, Lisa with L Raymond Styles and Neil with 303 Motion for all your hard work at making this stunning Vail Mountain Wedding a total success.

Lauren & James- Vail, CO

“We are cryers.” Lauren warned as her sisters and mother helped her apply makeup and slip into her dress. Ready for the altar, she waited patiently at the bottom of the stairs for her father. He took a deep breath and puffed up his chest but then his face crumpled and he couldn’t hold back his emotions at seeing his beautiful daughter for the first time. We were all dabbing at our damp faces before leaving the house.

Lauren & James were wed at the Donovan Pavilion on a perfect late June summer day. Vail icon, Helmut Ficker played the alpenhorn, his kind blue eyes twinkling, as their guests arrived and took their seats. James grinned the entire ceremony from ear to ear and Lauren’s deep blue eyes looked stunning even through the tears that kept welling up in them.

We took portraits on the Vail Golf Course with the Gore Range as a backdrop and wandered around the village as Lauren & James reflected on the day giving each other looks of love so intense and moving I couldn’t help but feel their happiness myself. The reception was a full on dance party with Lauren & James providing a dynamic playlist of music from all different decades. After 3 hours of non-stop dancing the newlyweds departed under the warm glow of sparklers held by their loving friends and family.
