If you’re planning a celebration at Devil's Thumb Ranch that’s rooted in connection, style, and presence—and you want imagery that feels as effortless and intentional as the day itself—I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming of.
Why The Devil's Thumb Ranch
Aligns with Your Vision
1. Thoughtful From the First Step
A wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch is all about intention—yours and mine. From our first conversation to your final gallery, I guide you through a streamlined, intuitive process so you can stay present with your people. While you immerse yourself in everything from trail rides to welcome cocktails, I blend into the rhythm of the weekend, capturing it with calm presence and clear perspective.
2. Rugged Beauty, Refined Storytelling
Devil’s Thumb Ranch is where wild beauty meets curated comfort—and I approach photography with that same balance. It’s the way golden hour hits the aspen trees, the hush of snow beneath your boots, or the warmth of the firelight during toasts. I document the full story—but focus on the texture, light, and emotion that make it yours.
3. Real Moments in a Place That Feels Like You
The most meaningful moments often unfold when no one’s looking. The unscripted laughter around the bonfire. A shared glance across the dinner table. The sound of your best friend’s voice echoing through the valley during their toast. These are the images that bring you back—not just to what it looked like, but what it felt like.
4. A Weekend to Celebrate, Not Just Perform
Devil’s Thumb Ranch gives you room to breathe—space to roam, gather, and connect. Whether you’re hosting a multi-day celebration or an intimate mountain ceremony, your wedding here is less about a timeline and more about an experience. This is where you savor the art of living: with your people close, your heart full, and the mountains holding it all. I’m here to capture it as it unfolds, so you can be fully in it.
1. A Seamless Weekend Experience
From its lush gardens to its boutique hotel suites, the estate is designed for multi-day celebrations that feel like an escape without ever leaving the city. Whether you’re hosting a welcome dinner on the loggia or a farewell brunch under the trees, this venue allows for a beautifully unfolding celebration where guests feel relaxed, seen, and fully immersed in your world.
2. Intimate Spaces, Effortlessly Elegant
Commodore Perry strikes a rare balance between grandeur and warmth. The interiors, curated with European flair and lived-in charm, pair perfectly with open-air moments on the lawn or beside the reflecting pool. Every detail—the architecture, the natural light, the textures—photographs like a dream without ever feeling overdone.
3. Room to Feel Present
Because everything you need is in one place, there’s space to slow down and savor what matters most. It’s a venue that invites you to be fully present—with your people, with your partner, with the meaning of the moment. And that ease translates into the kind of images that aren’t just beautiful—they’re true to you.
4. A Celebration of the Art of Living
More than just a venue, Commodore Perry is a reflection of a lifestyle—refined, soulful, and deeply rooted in connection. It’s made for couples who value not just style, but substance.

The property at Devil’s Thumb Ranch meets you with fresh mountain air, sweeping meadow views, and a sense of peace that settles in slowly—and stays. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains just outside of Winter Park, this iconic venue blends rustic elegance with elevated service, offering the perfect backdrop for wedding weekends filled with intention, natural beauty, and connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows in front of snow-dusted peaks or gathering with loved ones in the glow of a candlelit barn, every space here invites you to slow down and savor. If your vision includes heartfelt moments, warm hospitality, and the kind of setting that feels like coming home—I’d be honored to document it all.
