Boettcher Mansion–Colorado wedding photography

June 5 was a much anticipated and long awaited day for Ken and Betina. They met downtown at The Westin Hotel and then traveled up to The Boettcher Mansion for their ceremony and reception. It was truly an international event since the bride and many of her family members are from South America and her maid of honor was from Russia. The maid of honor gave the bride wonderful surprises like a slideshow and a candlelit reception to the couple’s announcement at the reception. The attire was black tie, fairly unique to casual Colorado-every guest in a tux or a long gown. We are so thrilled to have been a part of Ken and Betina’s wonderful day. Here is just a sneak peek of their big day…many more to come…

We have posted a bit about Ken and Betina about their very fun engagement shoot (see below) but I want to let you know what or, rather, who helps to make a very complicated, highly detailed wedding come together…the wedding planner. Meet Gabby from Save the Date Events. She has been such a help with coordinating all of the details of this very-international, highly anticipated event. So, if you are feeling overwhelmed with planning, you just may want to get in touch with Gabby to make your dreams come true.

There is an article about Ken and Betina on their website, click the image below to check it out…

Ken and Betina engagement shoot

Ken and Betina-what an amazing couple! We shot their engagement session a couple of weeks ago in LODO. Betina is a warm, wonderfully passionate woman with a Latin flair and Ken could not take his eyes off her. I don’t remember being with a groom that was so focused on his wife-to-be. It is awesome to be in their presence. This shoot ranged from fun and carefree to passionate to romantic. I loved every minute of it. Their wedding is to be in early June at Boettcher Mansion and I cannot wait to see what amazing images result from their incredible day.

Here is a slideshow of their engagement sign in album for you to check out…just click on the image below.

Boettcher Mansion, Golden, CO

This was a spectacular day, about five years in the making. Marnie and Wsiel first met while in high school while delivering sandwiches to homeless people with their youth group. It was love at first sight. Wsiel is a native of the Dominican Republic and has experienced a tremendous uphill battle with immigration. His own brother was deported several years ago. When Wsiel and Marnie set their wedding date, it was his mother’s dream to visit the U.S. to watch her son’s marriage. Miracles really do happen and they were granted permission to visit for one month. Wsiel’s brother, still in the Domincan Republic, was able to participate courtesy of Skype. Get this, the bride’s 87 year old grandmother made her beautiful dress! Marnie’s design talents brought the island feel to the beautiful Boettcher Mansion in honor of the groom’s native Dominican Republic. We were so honored to be a part of this incredible celebration!

Here are just a few of my favorites…
