Colorado Wedding at The Broadmoor Hotel

Dreamy, Non-Traditional Luxury Wedding at The Broadmoor Hotel

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing a wide range of celebrations, but every now and then, a wedding comes along that makes me stop in my tracks. A wedding where the vision is so unique, the mood so immersive, and the details so intricately woven together that it feels like stepping into an alternate, dreamlike world. That was exactly how I felt when I had the opportunity to photograph this non-traditional luxury wedding at the stunning Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs.

This celebration was nothing short of a visual feast, with every detail thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple’s personal style and whimsical yet elegant taste. If you’ve ever imagined a wedding with a dreamy, Lana Del Rey-esque vibe — think moody glamour, swan motifs, red florals, and a touch of ice-cold magic — then this wedding would feel like your dream come to life.

The Venue: The Broadmoor Hotel

The Broadmoor Hotel provided the perfect backdrop for this enchanting event. Known for its luxurious, classic charm, the Broadmoor is a historic gem that exudes old-world elegance and modern sophistication. With its grand ballrooms, beautiful outdoor spaces, and breathtaking mountain views, it was the ideal location to bring together a blend of the traditional and the non-traditional.

The hotel’s ornate decor provided the perfect canvas for the bride’s unique vision. It wasn’t just a venue; it was a key character in this love story, offering a sense of timeless beauty that complemented the striking, modern details woven throughout the day.

Lana Del Rey Vibes: Glamour with a Dark Twist

From the moment I stepped into the space, I could feel the Lana Del Rey-inspired atmosphere. The entire wedding had a cinematic quality — it was as though we were watching a story unfold in slow motion, complete with that signature vintage glamour and wistful, melancholic beauty. 

The moody, romantic color palette was a perfect reflection of this Lana Del Rey vibe. Rich, red florals were everywhere — from the bridal bouquet cally lilys to the reception tables, which were drenched in luxurious deep reds and burgundies. It wasn’t just about the color, though; it was the emotion those flowers conveyed. Every petal seemed to tell a story of passion, love, and longing.

The Ice Sculpture: A Frozen Moment of Elegance

Speaking of the ice sculpture, this was another moment that truly took my breath away. There was something incredibly poetic about the frozen swan, standing strong amidst the luxurious heat of the celebration. It was like a metaphor for the day itself — a delicate balance of fleeting moments and timeless love. The way the ice glistened under the lighting, catching the light just so, created the most magical atmosphere, while also creating a luxury feel.

Red Draping and Dramatic Decor

The dramatic red draping that adorned the ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking. It added an element of opulence and grandeur to the space, transforming the ballroom into a sultry, romantic setting that felt intimate and luxurious all at once. The deep red tones echoed the floral arrangements and brought a sense of warmth, which balanced out the cooler tones of the ice sculpture and the swan elements.

The lighting was dim and moody, casting shadows that created an almost cinematic effect — it felt like we were all characters in a movie. As a wedding photographer, it was an absolute dream to shoot in this environment, as every corner of the venue seemed to tell a story.

What made this wedding so extraordinary wasn’t just the stunning details or the incredible atmosphere, but the way everything seemed to blend together so perfectly. The couple’s love for each other, their desire for something a little different, and their shared vision for their day all came through in the most beautiful way. It was a celebration of who they are and the unique, beautiful love story they share.
