Manitou Springs Wedding at Craftwood Peak | Jenn & Tim
Some weddings just feel right. Jenn & Tim’s winter wedding at Craftwood Peak by Wedgewood Weddings in Manitou Springs was one of those—cozy, joy-filled, and warm.
These two made the trip from Texas to get married in the foothills of the Rockies, bringing their closest friends and family along for the adventure. From our very first Zoom call, I knew their wedding day would be full of energy and connection. I started doing pre-wedding Zoom calls after a photography retreat I attended where one of the teachers mentioned how much it changed her business. It’s become one of my favorite ways to prep for a wedding, elopement, or session. It lets us map out timelines, answer questions in real time, and most importantly—help couples (and families) feel comfortable before our time together.
Before the ceremony, Jenn & Tim carved out a quiet moment for their first look, and let me tell you—it was worth it. We found the perfect spot with panoramic views of Pikes Peak, giving them a chance to take it all in before the whirlwind of the day. A first look isn’t just about photos (though, yes, they were stunning)—it’s about slowing down, breathing, and getting a moment together before the celebration begins.
As the sun set, Jenn & Tim exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony on the patio before heading into their reception. Craftwood Peak still had its holiday decor up—twinkling lights, warm tones, and that perfect post-Christmas charm. The dinner was a sit-down meal filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and stories shared between friends.
A special highlight? Tim is a coach, and a lot of the kids and families he’s mentored traveled to celebrate with them. You could tell how much that meant to him—it wasn’t just a wedding, it was a reunion of the people who had been part of his journey.
The dance floor took over once the formalities wrapped up, and Jenn’s uncle absolutely stole the show. Watching guests cheer him on made it clear—this was a wedding where people showed up for each other. And in a fun little moment straight out of a Hallmark movie, the neighbors next to the venue watched the wedding unfold from their big picture window, enjoying the celebration from afar.
