Stephanie + Paul’s Winter Wedding at Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, Colorado
Surrounded by fresh snowfall and towering mountain views, Stephanie and Paul’s wedding at Wild Basin Lodge felt like stepping into a winter daydream. From the quiet moments of the morning to the energy of the dance floor, their day was rooted in joy, intention, and a deep love for nature and the people closest to them.
The day began with relaxed, meaningful moments on both sides. Stephanie spent the morning in the bridal suite with champagne and heartfelt time with her mom and bridesmaids. Paul’s morning mirrored that same ease—getting ready with his father, playing video games with his crew, and gifting Zelda-themed cufflinks and socks to his groomsmen, setting the tone for a day that balanced sentiment with fun.
Their first look took place along the River Run, with the wedding party watching from a distance before Stephanie and Paul shared private vows by the water. It was one of the most intimate moments of the day—quiet, emotional, and deeply personal—before transitioning into portraits surrounded by snow-covered scenery.
The ceremony unfolded in the meadow, where Stephanie and Paul exchanged vows officiated by a close friend, with their dog Meira proudly walking down the aisle. Later, Meira joined them again as they signed their marriage license during cocktail hour—a moment that perfectly captured how central family (and pets) are to their story.
As guests mingled with llamas on the deck and champagne flowed, the celebration carried into dinner, heartfelt toasts, a champagne saber moment, and a packed dance floor. The night was all about staying present, dancing, and soaking in every moment until the very end.
Set against the Colorado mountains they fell in love with, Stephanie and Paul’s wedding was a true reflection of who they are—playful, intentional, and deeply connected.
