Jeffrey and Caleb’s River Bend Wedding in Lyons, Colorado, was the perfect celebration of their 10-year love story. Nestled along the St. Vrain River, River Bend is a dreamy outdoor venue surrounded by tall trees, natural rock formations, and endless mountain charm. It’s the kind of place where every angle feels romantic, and for Jeffrey and Caleb, it became the backdrop to one unforgettable day.
Their story began at freshman orientation at Purdue in Indiana. What started as a friendship grew into something much deeper, and after nearly a decade together—spanning moves to Boulder and Denver, a shared pup named Blue, and countless adventures—the two stood hand in hand at River Bend to say “I do.”
The ceremony was held outdoors beneath a canopy of trees, with sunlight streaming through the leaves and the river quietly flowing behind. Guests sat surrounded by nature, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere. Perhaps the most heartwarming detail of the day was when their loyal companion, Blue—the truest witness to their love—placed his paw print on the marriage documents, sealing the moment with them. These magical moments were captured beautifully by our professional wedding photographer, whose only goal was to make the couple’s memories shine—and the results truly speak for themselves.
Once the vows were exchanged, everyone moved into a reception full of joy and energy. Bright flowers lined the long wooden tables, creating a warm backdrop for heartfelt toasts, shared memories, and plenty of dancing. Our wedding videographer worked seamlessly alongside the photography team, capturing every heartfelt word and every burst of joy. The evening wrapped up with cake cutting, cheers, and one last round of dancing under the stars—a perfect ending to a perfect day.
