Meeting Among the Mountains

Picture this - backpacking in the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado, surrounded by mutual friends. That's where John and Abby's love story began! Who would have thought that a hiking adventure would lead them to Life's Finer Moments?

A Proposal Full of Surprises

Fast forward to the proposal - talk about romantic genius! John decided to recreate their first date, taking Abby to Manhattan, Kansas’s “Top of the World” for some stunning photographs. Little did she know, her best friend, a photographer, hid in the bushes and captured the entire magical moment. Bravo, to John, for the surprise of a lifetime!

The Much-Anticipated First Look

Zooming in on the big day, the couple was most eager for their first look on the lodge deck. The anticipation, the nerves, the sheer excitement - our venue's view overlooking the patio and hiking trails was a prime “stage” for a moment that will forever be etched in their hearts.
