Heading back to the reception to close out the night.
With the pandemic forcing lots of wedding changes, Melissa and Josh opted for an intimate wedding with their blended family and friends at their favorite vacation spot, Piney River Ranch in Vail, Colorado. It takes a long, bumpy ride up a dusty mountain road, but the view of Piney Lake in front of the Gore Range is well worth the trip.
After getting ready on-site, Melissa and Josh joined their small wedding group on a deck overlooking this spectacular view. The ceremony was short and sweet followed by a casually elegant dinner in the open-air dining space Piney River Ranch offers. Afterward, they took a stroll for some portraits followed by heading out onto the lake for a peaceful paddle in a canoe. They headed back for some dances and cake and then closed out the night shortly after the sun went down.
