Two Rivers Winery Wedding | Natalie & Josh

Natalie & Josh’s Two Rivers Winery wedding in mid-September was a lovely day with warmth but still the hint of fall in the air.

I first met the two for their engagement photos (and proposal!) in Ouray last fall and it’s impossible to believe that was a year ago already. 

Picture this: a charming chateau nestled among rolling vineyards. That’s where our lovebirds and their squad kicked off the day, primping and prepping for the big event. The air was thick with excitement (and hairspray, let’s be real) as Natalie and Josh got ready to say “I do” in style with their family and friends close by.

Now, let’s talk about that first look. Holy moly, folks! These two decided to share a private moment in the vineyards before the ceremony, and let me tell you, it was more emotional than the season finale of your favorite TV show. They exchanged personal vows that had them both shedding tears, which is why I just love more couples embracing this private moment to share just the two of them. It was raw, it was real, and it was absolutely beautiful.

But wait, there’s more! Being the smart cookies they are, Natalie and Josh knocked out the family photos and wedding party portraits before the ceremony. Genius move, right? This way, they could spend more time sipping bubbly and less time posing later. 

The ceremony itself? Pure magic. As Natalie and Josh made their grand exit, sharing a dip kiss in the aisle, guests showered them with bubbles. It was like a fairy tale!

Post-ceremony, everyone hit up the veranda for cocktail hour. Clinking glasses, laughter echoing across the vineyard, and the kind of views that make you want to quit your day job and become a full-time winery bum. Pure bliss!

But hold onto your wine glasses, folks, because the real show was about to begin. Natalie and Josh made a grand entrance down the chateau’s staircase that was so epic, it put every prom entrance you’ve ever seen to shame. They glided straight into their first dance, leaving guests oohing and aahing like they were watching fireworks on the Fourth of July.

The rest of the night was a whirlwind of cake cutting (no face smashing, very demure), heartfelt toasts that had everyone reaching for the tissues, and parent dances that were sweeter than the wine slushies. And then? Well, then the real party started. Everyone kept the dancefloor packed all night!

Natalie and Josh’s big day at Two Rivers Winery was the perfect blend of elegance, emotion, and straight-up fun. It was a testament to their love, their families, and the power believing in love and sticking with your person through thick and thin. Here’s raising a glass to the happy couple – may their life together be as rich and full-bodied as the finest wine!
