Finding the right wedding venue around Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is the second most populous city in Colorado, and it’s also a popular destination for many people looking for beautiful scenery and outdoor activities. You may have heard of Colorado being known as one of the easiest places to get married, along with one of the main elopement hubs in America. While elopements are a huge deal around Colorado, I want to focus on the big wedding venues today instead. These big weddings will always have a place in my heart. Mainly because big weddings were the thing to do when I first dove into the photography industry over a decade ago.
