It's time to start planning 2010 weddings! The first step is one of the toughest decisions -- choosing a venue. I've been lucky to be able to work at some incredibly beautiful places throughout Colorado and around the country. Here are some pictures to help all the wedding planners out there, and for the rest of us to sit back and enjoy the views. I love looking through these photos!
