Christian’s winter mountain wedding proposal to Nicole

January 17, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

This was a fun little job. Christian called me from Houston to help him with a destination wedding proposal to his girlfriend, Nicole. We chose an epic spot close to Boulder that I had been to for an engagement session a few years before. I set up ahead of them behind a tree and pretended I was there photographing the mountain scenery so I could just turn and capture the moment when they walked by and he proposed. She said “yes” and we had a great time doing some engagement portraits on top of the world.

Melissa and Jim’s mountain meadow wedding

February 15, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

Jim and Melissa and their friends were fun, kind and adventurous. There really isn’t anything more beautiful than a Rocky Mountain meadow for a Colorado destination wedding. It’s a small risk with the weather, but with a tent and the right vendors it can be quite luxurious. I loved her beautiful custom made dress by Wai-Ching Studio. It’s pretty amazing what a skilled caterer like Black Belly can do even at 8,300 ft. The music by amusicplus had people dancing on and off the dance floor. If there are more people like this fun group from Seattle I have to visit.

Rosie and Tim’s Colorado Mountain Wedding

Surrounded by their grown children, their grandchildren and many friends, Rosie and Tim’s wedding at the Greenbriar in the foothills of Boulder was an inspiring event. Highlights for me were Rosie’s red wedding dress and the dance done by Tim’s daughter and brother (both professional dancers) telling the story of their courtship. It’s never to late for a second chance to find true love.

Jonna and Chris’s Boulder Wedding

Sometimes people have such an infectious laugh you just can’t help but smile and join them. Jonna and Chris laugh a lot. In making each other happy, they make everyone else around them happy. It was a joy to be their wedding photographer. The day started with getting ready at the Hotel Boulderado and the ceremony was at the Greenbriar Inn, just outside Boulder. I loved the scalloped icing on this wedding cake, mirroring the shape of the rose pedals.

Magical Denver Botanic Gardens Wedding

February 10, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

Chelsea and Steven’s wedding ceremony was at Cheeseman Park Pavilions in Denver, just a short walk outside the Denver Botanic Gardens. After doing some photography around the gardens dinner was at the fairy tale like Woodland Mosaic Solarium. As the sun set, it glowed something magical. Consequently, I wouldn’t have been surprised to see Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione meeting there. After dinner and toasts, everyone made their way to the main building for dancing followed by a fantastic send off with sparklers. Chelsea is an artist and nutritionist. As a result, her desserts were fantastic. You can view her beautiful, organic work at honeybewell.com.

Ken and James’ Colorado Wedding

Loved this wedding. This was one of the most fun weddings we did this year. The details were extraordinary, the colors photographed so well, there was great dancing, and they had fun and creative ideas like the heart shaped group shot and hand sign. The wedding was at Ralston’s Crossing in Arvada – a great venue with so many photo opportunities. Flowers by Bright Weddings; Catering by Hearts Desire Catering; music by MTS Productions
