Jennifer and Brent get married {Colorado wedding photography}

Calvary Baptist Church and Terrace Garden at Ken Caryl

Congratulations to Jennifer and Brent! We are so thrilled to have had the privilege of shooting their wedding. They met at Baylor University, fell in love and now have a wonderful life before them! Since their church is such an important part of their lives, it was the obvious location choice for their “first look”. In case you’ve never heard that terminology, that is when the bride and groom have a special meeting arranged prior to the wedding ceremony. We then left the church with the bridal party and headed to a nearby park. Weddings are always crazy and unpredictable but this was a new one, even for us. There was a real locomotive going around the park-I’m guessing its main passengers are children-but they allowed the entire bridal party to climb aboard for a photo op. Really fun! We all returned to the church for a beautiful ceremony given by their pastors. The main take-away message I received was that marriage is meant to make us holy, not happy. I think there is something very profound in that message and just wanted to share it with our blog followers.

After the ceremony, the couple was whisked away to Terrace Gardens. More photo ops on their gorgeous grounds (and maybe even the nearby golf course) and then onto a night of dancing, dancing and more dancing. Jen and Brent’s first dance is my absolute favorite! (and we get to see a lot of first dances). The first unusual part was that the father/daughter dance came first. That was followed by a “seemingly” awkward couple’s dance that was interrupted by an apparent error by the DJ. The music then continued with numerous tracks for which the bride and groom had choreographed awesome dance moves to. It was an incredible surprise that only the DJ, bridesmaid and myself were in on. Great job on making such a memorable and fun first dance for us all to enjoy. The evening ended with the bride and groom running to a very decorated car amidst fireworks.

Jennifer and Brent have a beautiful love story and a long happy marriage ahead of them. We are grateful that we were chosen to photograph them and preserve their memories. Here is just a few favorites, many more to come!

We are super excited to be working with Tim and Anna. They are getting married in August in beautiful Breckenridge, a destination wedding for them as they are from Madison, WI. We’ve had this engagement session booked for months and I am so glad it worked out (great weather, great light) since we had not met before. Tim and Anna are a lot of fun and really into each other, making our job quite easy. We had a great session with them and decided to make it into a slideshow for all to enjoy. Check it out…

Betina and Ken get married!–Boettcher Mansion–Colorado wedding photography

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:52:27 +0000

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…

Lionscrest Manor Wedding–Colorado Wedding Photography

Last Saturday was a day that truly belonged to Randy and Caroline. Everything just worked out beautifully, namely Colorado’s wild Springtime weather. It was a gorgeous day with breathtaking views, courtesy of Lionscrest Manor. This was truly a destination wedding for the bride, groom and the entire guest list, with just about everyone traveling from Texas to witness this much-anticipated event. We absolutely loved working with Randy and Caroline and their wonderful families and friends. I have only begun with the editing but wanted to provide a little sneak peek of some of my favorites. More to come…

Ken and Betina-getting married!

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

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:26:42 +0000

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.
