Ceremony and Reception Flow
Outdoor Ceremony
Ceremonies are typically held on the lawn with Telluride’s jagged peaks as your backdrop. The light here is crisp, the views are surreal, and the feeling is unforgettable.
Lodge Reception
Dinners and receptions can take place inside the lodge or on the wraparound deck — both settings offer warmth, style, and flow.
Weekend Lodging
With suites, condos, and private cabins, Mountain Lodge gives you the rare chance to host everyone close — no shuttle needed, just connection.
Photo Opportunities
Peaks, pines, boardwalks, gondolas, golden hour meadows, and alpine forest — everything in Telluride is made for storytelling.
Best Seasons for a Mountain Lodge Wedding
Weddings are held year-round, with peak season from June through October:
- Summer: Blue skies, vibrant green, and alpine wildflowers
- Fall: Gold aspens, warm light, and crisp evenings
- Winter: Cozy cabin elopements and snowy mountain magic
- Spring: Mud season — quieter and more limited, but still lovely
Why I Love Photographing at Mountain Lodge
I’m Ben — photographer at Boxcar. Telluride is a rare kind of place. At Mountain Lodge, the light feels different, the mountains feel closer, and people feel more present. I photograph it all with a documentary approach that honors stillness, landscape, and love without distraction.
What I bring:
- Experience working in changing mountain weather and light
- Calm presence and flexible pacing for multi-day celebrations
- Edits that preserve alpine tones and emotional truth
- A balance of structure and freedom in how we approach portraits
