Alicia + Tom | Morrison, Colorado Wedding Photographer
When your best friend asks you to second shoot a wedding in A CAVE yes is always the answer. I’m so lucky to have had the opportunity to shoot this gorgeous wedding in Morrison, Colorado alongisde by best friend and photographer extraordinaire Brittany Slaughter with Alchemy Creative!
Alicia and Tom’s wedding was absolutely one for the books.
They had a sweet, intimate first look prior to their ceremony which was held inside of the church that Alicia’s family has been attending for multiple generations! After their ceremony their guests made a tunnel and tossed lavendar at them as they frolicked towards their limo headed for the most epic reception ever. Their reception started off on the perfect note – a stunning sun shower followed up by a double rainbow. A double rainbow you guys, how incredible is that?! The awesome weather wasn’t even the best part of their reception – it was the location and the awesome people that filled it. Alicia and Tom had their wedding reception in an amazing little cave alcove that Alicia had played in since she was a child. Their family worked together to decorate and string up twinkling lights throughout the cave. The guests were all so fun and laid back and they danced for hours before sending Alicia and Tom off with a sparkler exit!
“oh, the comfort. the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person. having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away” -dinah maria craik
I think if I do another ad, the images of them running in the rain would be at the top of my short list for pictures. <3
You have some epic storytelling skills, girl. And that rainbow—I’m going to need to stop you right there. This is beautiful! <3
What a beautiful wedding! The rain?! The RAINBOW?! Are you being serious right now?! The joy you captured in this wedding is absolutely breathtaking! Love it!
Amazing! I love the shots in the rain!!
What an incredible location! I loved how they kept the lavender theme going throughout the wedding!
In love with them running through the fields! Gorgeous!
That reception looks like it was such an amazing time! Beautiful work!
These two are adorable! Too many great pics to even remember–I should have taken notes! The setting is amazing. I can’t believe they got the double rainbows! Are they running in the rain at one point? So fun! And I wish I could have seen the Father-Daughter dance–it looks like they had a blast. Incredible images–every single one.

These are so pretty! I love the lavender toss and the cave reception! So unique.
These are awesome Sharee. Such a cool place for a reception!
I love her wedding gown. I love this wedding venue. I saw it on your blog previously and I love it.
When I first read that they had their reception in a cave I was like ,”that’s pretty cool” than when I read that she used to play in it as a kid I just got all the feels. Awesome caves, double rainbows, frolicking in sun drenched meadows: Colorado is a great is state!!!!
Wow! What a gorgeous collection of photos! Excellent work!

These pictures are amaze-balls!!!! The father-daughter dance looked like they had a blast. And I agree, that if your friend asks you to shoot a wedding in a cave, then you should totally do it.
