Camp Saint Malo "Chapel on the Rock" Church Wedding
Ann and Jake’s Chapel on the Rock wedding was the definition of a heartfelt destination celebration—filled with love, gratitude, and stunning mountain views. This Southern couple traveled from Texas to the Colorado Rockies to say “I do” surrounded by their closest friends and family.
The ceremony took place at the iconic Chapel on the Rock, a historic stone church nestled just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. With snow-capped peaks as the backdrop and sunlight streaming through the church’s windows, the scene felt straight out of a storybook. The chapel was filled to the brim with warmth—not just from the Colorado sunshine, but from the love and emotion shared by everyone present. Live music created an ambiance that was reverent, romantic, and deeply moving. Their Chapel on the Rock wedding honored tradition while still feeling incredibly personal.
After the ceremony, the celebration continued at one of my all-time favorite venues—Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park. The reception was filled with laughter, vibrant spring florals, and meaningful moments.
