An Indian & Asian Fusion Wedding at The Broadmoor & Garden of the Gods Resort

July 4, 2024

Some weddings aren’t about extravagant details—they’re about the people, the setting, and the connections that unfold in real-time. That was the heart of this wedding at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, where two cultures came together in a way that felt natural, unforced, and deeply personal.

The couple, both doctors based in Houston, had spent time at The Broadmoor before—not just as a wedding venue, but as a place that already held meaning for them. They chose to return here, bringing their closest family and friends for a long weekend in the mountains.

I had known about this wedding for months. My friend Caroline of Caroline’s Collective had already booked it when she found out she was expecting her first baby—due just a month after the wedding. The moment she called, I knew I’d be there.

Caroline and I have been friends for over a decade, and I was so glad to step in—not just to take care of her, but because I loved this couple and the energy of their day. I also have family in Colorado, so it felt like one of those weddings where everything aligned.

I was there to assist, but these are the moments I captured—a wedding where the luxury wasn’t in over-the-top details, but in the setting, the people, and the ease of being together.


A Tea Ceremony Overlooking the Garden of the Gods

Before the wedding day itself, the couple hosted an intimate tea ceremony at Garden of the Gods Resort, a private venue overlooking one of Colorado’s most recognizable landscapes.

Against the backdrop of red rock formations and open sky, they honored the groom’s Chinese heritage in a moment that felt both quiet and significant. Family gathered close, cups of tea were exchanged, and the couple knelt before their elders in a gesture of gratitude and respect.

The atmosphere was simple but meaningful—no elaborate setup, just the landscape, the people, and the tradition itself.


A Wedding Day Rooted in Family at The Broadmoor

The Broadmoor has been part of their story for years, which made it the natural choice for their wedding day. The ceremony took place on the Lakeside Terrace, with Cheyenne Lake and the mountains as the only backdrop needed.

The bride’s family wore traditional Indian saris, bringing a vibrant contrast to the neutral tones of the landscape, while the groom and his family embraced classic Western attire. Their ceremony was intimate, personal, and free from excess—just the two of them, surrounded by the people who mattered most.

The groom’s reaction as his bride walked down the aisle—**a mix of emotion and quiet joy—**set the tone for a day that was about presence, not performance.


A Celebration That Felt Like a Reunion

After the ceremony, guests moved to the West Tower Lawn for cocktails—an open, relaxed setting that mirrored the easygoing feel of the entire day. Inside The Broadmoor’s ballroom, the reception wasn’t about extravagant decor or curated perfection. Instead, it was about genuine laughter, shared moments, and a dance floor that never emptied.

Some of the best images from the night weren’t planned at all—parents laughing in conversation, old friends reconnecting, the couple pulled into an impromptu hug in between dances.

This was a wedding about people first. The Broadmoor provided the setting, but the focus was always on the moments happening within it.


Why The Broadmoor Was the Perfect Choice

For this couple, The Broadmoor wasn’t just a venue—it was part of their story long before their wedding day. It’s what made their decision feel easy, almost inevitable.

A familiar place that already held personal meaning
The perfect mix of outdoor and indoor spaces, with no need for added décor
A full wedding weekend experience for guests, without feeling overly formal

The Broadmoor is ideal for couples who want a destination wedding that feels more like a gathering than an event—a place where the setting speaks for itself, and the focus stays on what truly matters.


A Wedding Built on Real Moments

Some weddings are about design and detail. Others are about laughter that fills the space, the way family pulls close, and the natural movement of the day.

This was one of those weddings.

If you’re planning an Indian, Asian, or destination wedding in Colorado and want it captured in a way that feels real and lived-in, I’d love to be part of it.
