Mike and I photographed Adriana and Brian’s wedding Saturday in Avon, near Vail and Beaver Creek. You might remember Ana and Brian from their urban photo shoot in Denver earlier this summer. Their wedding took place at the grand Westin Resort, with an outdoor ceremony along the river. They are adorable together, and didn’t stop kissing and cuddling all day. I couldn’t help but grin whenever I looked at them. Congratulations, Ana and Brian!

I’ve been looking forward to this wedding all summer, because I knew it would be creative and cool. Lauren and Brett are the owners of the Modbo Gallery downtown, and you might recognize them from their engagement session earlier this summer. They included their artistic skills and stylish creativity in many ways on Saturday. They even hosted their own reception, by closing down the alley behind the art gallery and celebrating under the stars.

Lauren and Brett scheduled a lot of time for posed photos, and as a result, they have lots of gorgeous pictures of the two of them together. If you love these kinds of pictures as much as I do, please make sure to schedule plenty of time on your own wedding day. You won’t regret it.

Congratulations, Lauren and Brett!

Saturday was the perfect day for a mountain wedding, and the Wild Basin Lodge is a gem. Danielle and Jeff got married there alongside a stream, and then celebrated with a dinner for 40 of their closest friends. I loved how the wedding preparations were a group effort — the cake, flowers, music, and decor were all created by their friends and family.

The staff at Wild Basin Lodge were excellent to work with, and took great care of Jesse and me. They even offered to accommodate any of our dietary restrictions or allergies, which is a rare treat for wedding vendors. I was truly impressed by the level of their service. Highly recommended.

Sarah and Mike got married last weekend at First Congregational Church in downtown Colorado Springs. I was thrilled when they scheduled time to have their photos taken after the ceremony at the Garden of the Gods, and I love the results. They even included their dog and cat in the photos, so obviously I loved this wedding!

Thanks, Sarah and Mike! I hope you’re loving Costa Rica as much as I did last week.

Last weekend I photographed two weddings at one of my favorite venues: Timber Ridge, on the top of a mountain in Keystone. Chris and Dave got married Sunday, surrounded by the Colorado mountains that Chris loves so much. She grew up here in Colorado, but now she and Dave live out of the country. This destination wedding was a great way for her to introduce Dave and their guests to the spectacular scenery of her home state.

Chris and Dave, I’m so happy for you both, and I’m jealous of your incredible honeymoon adventure!

Kasey and Dave got married Saturday with a destination wedding on the top of a mountain. Timber Ridge is a venue that sits 11,444 feet above sea level, high above Keystone. Even the trip to Timber Ridge is fun — it takes 30 minutes to get there by two gondola rides. It’s an impressive location for a wedding, and I’m sure Kasey’s family from Texas loved the adventure.

Congratulations, Kasey and Dave!

Erin and Gabriel: Wedding at St. Paul’s and the Doubletree Hotel

July 10, 2010

Erin and Gabe got married Saturday in Denver, and it was the kind of fun day that slips by too quickly. They had a dual Lutheran-Catholic ceremony at St. Paul’s Church downtown, and a reception at the Doubletree Hotel in Greenwood Village. Gabe is a photographer, too, so he made sure that they had some great photo opportunities throughout the day. They scheduled a break between the ceremony and reception, and explored a bar and a park downtown with their wedding party. I highly recommend this idea to future couples!

Congratulations, Erin and Gabe! What a fun day!

Emma and Kyle got married Saturday with a Catholic ceremony at the Air Force Academy chapel, and then a grand reception at the Broadmoor’s Lakeside Terrace. Emma and Kyle met while students at the Academy, and her father is also an Academy alumnus. The wedding was a great way to honor their families’ Air Force heritage, while also showcasing Colorado’s scenery and luxury. It was also a fantastic dance party!

Emma and Kyle, I hope you’re having a great time in St. Lucia!

Keystone wedding
Grant and Darice
Keystone, Colorado
June 26, 2010

Darice and Grant got married last weekend in front of one of the most beautiful backdrops anyone could hope for. They had their ceremony on the Schoolmarm ski run outside the Summit House, on the top of Dercum Mountain. The view of Lake Dillon was breathtaking! Afterward, we took another gondola ride further into the mountain to their reception at the Alpenglow Stube. It was the perfect setting for a destination wedding, and a true gem for all the out of state guests.

Congratulations, Darice and Grant! I hope you’re having a great honeymoon in the tropics!

Elizabeth and Roberto got married yesterday on a rainy Saturday in Boulder. Their guests traveled long ways to be at the wedding, including some family members that came all the way from Brazil. The reception had a love bird theme, with lots of sweet touches like nests on the tables and bird notecards as a guestbook. I particularly loved playing with all the adorable kids at the wedding. Thank you, Elizabeth and Roberto! I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon.

Jesse Starr second shot the wedding with me. Thanks, Jesse!

Carissa and Adam got married yesterday with a backyard celebration at the farm where they live and work. This farm raises greens that are sold to local restaurants, which was fascinating to me and the guests. The farm is also home to chickens, goats, dogs, and a very cuddly cat.

It’s a ton of work to host your own wedding, and Carissa and Adam worked for months to prepare for it. They grew their own salad greens, made their own cupcakes, grew herbs as party favors, and even made several types of beer. The final result was a creative and fun wedding that perfectly reflected their personalities. I love a wedding with so many personal touches. Congratulations, Carissa and Adam!

Naoma and Jack got married on Saturday in an emotional ceremony in Colorado Springs. Naoma used to work at the Fine Arts Center, so it was a perfect choice for their wedding and brunch reception. I loved exploring the galleries for their portraits, and the museum’s architecture offered lots of beautiful, natural light. Kim Drennan second shot their wedding with me – thanks, Kim!

Congratulations, Naoma and Jack. I hope you’re having a wonderful time in the Caribbean!

This was a particularly special wedding for us. Mike’s lifelong best friend, Howard, got married in England to his lovely bride, Ali. Howard and Mike have been friends since they were three years old, and Howard was the best man in our wedding. Last week Mike had the honor of being one of the two best men in Howard’s wedding. I photographed it, and my friend David Pearce traveled from Kent to help me. Thank you, David!

Howard and Ali, we are so happy for you! You couldn’t have had a more beautiful venue or a more a perfect day. Thanks for asking us to play such important parts in your wedding! It means a lot to us.

Shelley and Will have such a wonderful story! They were high school sweethearts at the Colorado Springs School. They used to love to sit together on this bench in the school yard, and even had their first kiss sitting right here. Eventually they parted ways and went on to raise their own families. They recently reconnected and fell back in love. It was the perfect choice for them to come back to the beautiful CO Springs School, which is also a wedding venue, to exchange vows on this very bench.

Congratulations, Shelley and Will! I’m so happy for you to be together again!

Amanda and Stephen got married Sunday in breathtakingly beautiful Incline Village, Nevada. I loved their engagement session so much that I knew their wedding would be fantastic, but I had no idea just how laid-back and adventurous they would be! They were even willing to hop around on lakeside rocks when I suggested it, which gave them an opportunity to have pictures like this one. I had so much fun photographing them by the lake that I was downright giddy.

Thank you, Amanda and Stephen, for bringing Mike and me to your wonderful wedding. We loved it!

It was a perfect weekend for a winter wedding in the mountains. After a Friday storm, the sun came out on Saturday to reveal a fresh coat of snow over the Vail landscape. Liz and Brian got married at the Vail Interfaith Chapel and celebrated with a lively reception at Donovan Pavilion. It was a destination wedding, with guests traveling in from all over the country, including a large group from Texas. Liz and Brian really showed them the best of Colorado.

My good friend Tamera Goldsmith photographed the wedding with me. The two of us had such a fun weekend!
