Courtney & Marcus Segura’s October wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Colorado, was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by the breathtaking colors of fall and their closest family and friends, they shared heartfelt, God-honoring vows in a ceremony filled with love and joy.

The celebration continued with a night full of unforgettable moments, including a surprise father-daughter dance featuring Michael Jackson’s Thriller! The energy on the dance floor was electric as guests danced the night away in honor of this incredible couple.

Warwick Adventures was truly honored to capture every beautiful moment through photography and videography. Relive their special day with us and witness the love, laughter, and celebration that made this wedding one for the books!

What happens when you leave behind the traditional wedding and choose an intimate adventure in the mountains instead?

Morgan and John chose to elope in Ouray, Colorado, surrounded by the dramatic peaks, alpine lakes, and breathtaking scenery of southwestern Colorado — a place often called the “Switzerland of America.”

With only their beloved dog Hank by their side, they created a wedding day that was completely their own.

Their day began with adventure and unfolded into something deeply personal. Near an alpine lake outside of Ouray, Morgan and John exchanged private vows and opened their hearts — sharing their story, their journey together, and the reasons they chose each other.

They proclaimed themselves husband and wife, celebrated together, and took in the incredible landscape that surrounded them.

And Hank, of course, made a few memorable appearances along the way.

Morgan and John trusted me, Troy of Warwick Adventures, to help create the plan for their elopement day and capture the entire experience as it unfolded — from the quiet, intimate moments to the laughter, adventure, vows, and celebration.

This is more than a wedding day.

It’s a reminder that your wedding can be whatever you want it to be.

If you’re dreaming about a Colorado elopement, an intimate mountain wedding, or an adventure elopement in the San Juan Mountains, I hope Morgan and John’s story gives you a little inspiration for what your own day could look like.

Thinking about eloping in Colorado?

Ouray, Telluride, Silverton, and the surrounding San Juan Mountains offer some of the most spectacular scenery in Colorado for an intimate elopement. From alpine lakes and mountain passes to waterfalls, wildflowers, and dramatic peaks, southwestern Colorado is an incredible place to begin your marriage.

Your elopement doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Bring the person you love.
Bring your dog.
Find a place that means something to you.
Exchange vows somewhere unforgettable.
And make the entire day about the two of you.

As a wedding photographer and videographer, I’ve had the chance to capture weddings at the Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park many times, and it’s one of those venues that truly shines in both photos and film. Estes Park is known worldwide for its amazing mountain vibes and the famous Rocky Mountain National Park next door. In fact, one of the amazing things about this wedding venue is that it is literally just a few steps away from the border of the National Park, and if you’ve been there, you’ve most likely taken photos inside the National Park without even realizing this!

Della Terra Mountain Chateau, now Della Terra by Wedgewood Weddings, is a luxury mountain venue near Estes Park, Colorado, known for its romantic stone architecture, secluded setting above the Fall River entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, and themed suites with spa amenities, serving as a popular spot for weddings and romantic getaways

Della Terra’s Location:

3501 Fall River Rd, Estes Park, CO 80517 / Driving there is only about an 8-minute drive from the main intersection in Estes Park.

Why couples love it: 

Della Terra has everything a couple would desire in a wedding venue.

• On-site lodging, luxury suites with private hot tubs
• 200 guest capacity
• Indoor & Outdoor Ceremony options / Outdoor ceremony area with Aspen trees and mountain backdrop
• Indoor chateau reception
• Quick access to the Rocky Mountain National Park’s entrance
• Gorgeous Patio for cocktail hours

My experience working there: 

If you’ve never shot at this venue as a photographer or videographer, beware of the maze-like layout of the Chateau! You can certainly get a little lost if you’re not familiar with the hallways and different rooms between the 3 floors; it’s a very unique floor plan!  I would recommend arriving 30 minutes early to get oriented before the rush of the wedding day begins.  Chances are that you’ll start capturing your day in the Bridal Salon room, located on the lower level, south side of the building.  You can also access the salon from the outside up a staircase near the parking lot.

Be prepared to do a LOT of walking around throughout the day.  The ceremony site is several hundred feet away from the Chateau.  The venue includes a golf cart to help shuttle the wedding couple and any older guests who need assistance over this distance. If you have a cart to help with your gear, this is definitely a wedding venue where you would want to use that: Videographers, yes, we have to bring a lot of equipment.

Overall thoughts:

Della Terra remains one of Colorado’s very best wedding venues in the entire state for many reasons.  It is managed now by the high-volume company Wedgewood Weddings, and the staff is friendly and accommodating.  I always try to communicate closely with the on-site wedding coordinator and let them know if we are on schedule and when I’m ready for the next formal event to begin. Communicating this with the DJ is also extremely important.

Here are a few of the wedding films that I’ve had the pleasure of capturing at Della Terra.

Lexi and Jake reached out to me to shoot their engagement photos in Colorado, thanks to a referral, and then they asked me to shoot their destination wedding in Jamaica the following year. It was incredible to capture this beautiful wedding day in paradise, amongst the tropical backdrop, right on the pristine sand, and looking out on the crystal-clear waters of the Jamaican beach.

Below are a few photos from this wedding at The Couples Resort in Negril, Jamaica. The full photo gallery can be seen here.

This beautiful wedding video captures the heartfelt celebration of Alan and Laney’s love at the stunning mountain venue of Chief Hosa Lodge in Colorado last September. From tender glances during the ceremony to joyful laughter shared with their beloved friends and family, every moment reveals just how deeply these two care for one another and the community surrounding them. Surrounded by the majestic Colorado landscape, Alan and Laney’s genuine affection and warmth toward their loved ones shine through in every frame — a true testament to their connection, their joy in each other’s presence, and the love that filled the day as they began their lifelong journey together.

At Warwick Adventures, we specialize in bringing your indoor wedding moments to life. Whether your ceremony is set in a dimly lit room or against a bright windowed backdrop, we have the experience, equipment, and creative eye to balance every light source and showcase your day in its best light.

Why Indoor Weddings Demand Experience and Expertise

Indoor weddings offer elegance, intimacy, and weatherproof peace of mind—but they also present unique challenges for photographers. Lighting can vary dramatically from one venue to another, with some spaces lit by chandeliers or candles, while others feature large windows that create strong backlight from the outdoors.

A photographer who isn’t prepared for these conditions can struggle to properly expose the scene. Without the right lighting techniques, the couple can appear too dark against bright backgrounds—or the sky outside can turn completely white, losing all detail.

That’s why it’s essential to work with a photographer who shoots indoor weddings and understands how to adapt to every lighting scenario.

The Art of Lighting: Off-Camera Flash & Balanced Exposure

Professional wedding photography isn’t just about capturing smiles—it’s about controlling light. A true indoor wedding venue photographer in Denver knows how to use off-camera flash and other advanced lighting tools to create natural, flattering images that feel authentic to the atmosphere of your day.

When photographers rely solely on their camera’s automatic settings or on-camera flash, they often have to overexpose the background to brighten the couple. This leads to photos where the sky is “blown out” and all the beautiful detail outside your venue disappears.

Instead, by carefully placing and controlling external flashes, we can illuminate the couple perfectly while maintaining the color, tone, and texture of your surroundings. The result? Stunning, well-balanced photographs where both you and your venue look incredible.

Experience You Can Trust

Over the years, Warwick Adventures has photographed countless indoor wedding ceremonies across Colorado—from candlelit mountain lodges to luxury hotel ballrooms in downtown Denver. Each space comes with its own lighting story, and we’re skilled at telling yours beautifully.

As this Colorado winter season nears its end, Rachel and Chris’s Estes Park mountain wedding was blessed with remnants of snow and spring on this beautiful March wedding day. Weddings in Estes Park are always so magical, no matter the season! We hope you enjoy seeing a peak into this amazing love-filled wedding celebration. Rachel’s mother said: “Let’s show Colorado how Greek Texans celebrate, Yamas!”

Rachel & Chris’s love story: “Chris and I met through our sisters. Our sisters played on the same soccer team and our parents quickly became friends. Chris and I were also best friends over the years but never saw each other in that way. Until after college!! I suppose I am pretty stubborn LOL. Our wedding will be a very young-adult focused wedding with one big party. Chris and I love to dance! The dancefloor and band are what we are most excited for.”
