Summer wedding at Dillon Marina Park Pavilion

These two had the most amazing summer wedding on Lake Dillon. If you’ve ever visited Dillon or Summit County, you know how special and fun a day on the lake is. As a Dillon local and photographer, it’s always extra special to photograph a wedding at the lake!

The rental space at Dillon Marina Park has gorgeous views and is perfect for anyone wanting a more low-key wedding. It’s right in the heart of Dillon and right next to the Amphitheater and a short walk to the marina.

Sadly, they don’t allow rentals during paid concerts.

Wedding ceremony

Paige and Eric came from out of town so having an amazing Colorado backdrop for their friends and family was a must! It was such a fun, low-key, sunny day. Bonus points – their dog got to come. 

Wedding pictures around Lake Dillon

These two decided to do a first look before their ceremony so they could get all of their photos out of the way and just be present for the rest of the night! It was such a fun afternoon strolling around Dillon from the lake to the marina.

Wedding Reception at the Pavilion

They also had their reception at the pavilion and it was the perfect spot for a low-key, evening on the lake playing yard games, eating good food from a local caterer and just hanging out.
