Kelly and Eric’s wedding at the historic Hotel Boulderado was unique in many ways. First, the chandelier shop Chantique caught her eye on our photo walk around downtown Boulder and the owner let us take some amazing wedding photos there. After our walk we met up with the bridal party and family at the Corner Bar in the hotel just to have some down time and fun before the ceremony. I heard Kelly say this was one of her favorite parts of her wedding day. Finally, the ceremony was held not on the famous staircase landing but on the far end of the mezzanine for a more intimate wedding ceremony. I really enjoyed this destination wedding for this wonderful couple from Kansas City.
Jordan and Christine ‘s wedding at Della Terra Mountain Chateaux in Estes Park, CO was the first wedding I did after the floods. It was an adventure getting there as US 36 was washed out. The Della Terra staff did an amazing job as there wasn’t any signs of damage from the flood. The day turned out to be beautiful with a few light flurries. This little gem of a wedding venue outside the Rocky Mountain National Park makes you feel like you are in Tuscany. The funky wedding shoes were made by the groom’s sister, the beautiful flowers were by Boulder Blooms, the terrific latin food by Centro (we got to sample everything), the fun wedding DJ was A Music Plus, and it was great to see the ceremony bagpiper was Scott. Thanks Christine for the great day and performing the Irish jig at your wedding reception!
This was a very special wedding for me to photograph. Paul and Erin live behind my photography studio in Boulder, CO and I have known them for many years. About a year ago Erin was hit by a car on her bike and severely injured. The recovery was long and difficult but here she is at her wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch after she and Paul road their mountain bikes here the day before from Eldora! Big thanks to photojournalist Sharon Steinman for second shooting with me. That 80’s Band was awesome! Kara Delay did the beautiful flowers and wedding planning, the chic wedding dress by Nicole Miller, and the incredible wedding cake was by Intricate Icings.
I love weddings that go to several different sites as it adds a variety of possibilities to the images. Matt is from Boulder and wanted to include his parent’s beautiful house overlooking North Boulder, the flagstaff amphitheater and the Konig Alumni Center at CU. All great locations for wedding photography. There was a priceless moment when they were about to kiss at the end of the wedding ceremony and their dog began to howl! The organic spirits were from Altitude Spirits, the amazing food by Krave Catering, and the music by Mile High Soul Club. A genuine, fun and classy couple.
