If you need modern, trendy interiors: don’t get married at the Lazy J.

If you need air conditioning: don’t get married at the Lazy J.

If you don’t like guns: don’t get married at the Lazy J.

However, if you like the awe inspiring grandeur of Colorado’s high country, the rustic and playful charm of a working sheep ranch (with state-of-the-art catering facilities and and event buildings full of character), with a highly professional staff, and a world-class clay and skeet shotgun range (first photographs I’ve ever taken of a beautiful bride holding a 12 guage…), then the Lazy J is the wedding venue for you!

Michelle and Craig planned a very joyous, relaxed and fun occasion with lots of elements of personal taste and sense of style that transformed the handsome and dusty ranch into their very own “metro/western/chic adult playground, 5 star restaurant, party place” (my term).

They really took advantage of the available views, and various amenities to make it fun for everyone. With it all said and done, looking back at that day and our photographs, I think the Lazy J is the definitive “mountain venue”. The only scary aspect about planning a wedding there is the “rain plan”, as it’s indoor facilities are large but limited in terms of photographic interest, the Lazy J relies heavily on it’s abundant natural splendor. We flirted with rain off and on during Michelle and Craig’s wedding, but the big heavy thunderheads ended up providing a dramatic skyline for a very striking and beautiful day.

Thank you Michelle and Craig for choosing us to capture your wonderfully planned and visually stunning wedding.
