Aspen Lakes Golf Course Wedding

Happily Ever After: Kelly & Gabe's Aspen Lakes Wedding

November 04, 2015 by Ara R. in Weddings

Romance.  It was so thick you could almost drink it on the evening of Kelly & Gabe's wedding.  The warm breeze brought the smell of pine and the sunset made the whole world light up in gold.

Central Oregon weddings have their own flavor of magic.  The light just sweeps me away.  Aspen Lakes Golf Course is just outside of Sisters, Oregon--down a pretty little country road to the middle of what feels like nowhere.  The main building is all wood, looking out to a perfect view of the mountains.

I loved Kelly's lace dress and practically-elven hair wreath.  Gabe looked so dashing in his suit.

Two loving, hilarious and wonderful families came together with Kelly & Gabe's marriage.  I was so touched by their siblings' support all day, and both fathers gave exceptional speeches.  Everyone had so much fun, dancing and laughing as the sky faded from turquoise to deep blue.
