It’s no secret that weddings have grown a bit uncontrollable. When talking to couples, one of the complaints I hear most often is how overwhelming planning a wedding can be. But the secret that the wedding industry wants to keep from you is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Take Natasha and Doug’s…
If there’s such a thing as having too much fun, Cat and Bryant flirt heavily with that line. It was evident when Jesse and I first met with them for their Woodward Copper aerial Alt Session. And it was all the more obvious at their Wedgewood Boulder Creek wedding. At one point during the portraits,…
Going to as many weddings as we do, we get to see a lot of really cool ways that couples make their weddings unique. Jenn and Erik’s Evergreen Lake House wedding was no different. In fact, it held a lot of firsts for us. It was the first time we had a bride wear a…
You know you’ve got some great friends when they abandon 80-degree weather in February for 30 degrees and a blizzard. Most of the time, people try to go the other way. But not Amy and Ken’s friends and family, who trekked from New Orleans (and even further afield) to Colorado for their Estes Park wedding….
I can’t help it. I obsessively check the weather before a wedding. Probably more than the couple does. Sometimes, it’s because I’m hoping for a few degrees of relief (I’m lookin’ at you, Denver in July). Sometimes, like for Melisa and Sam’s Copper Mountain wedding, it’s just to see if it’s going to rain, snow,…
Jesse and I met Andrea and Chad in-person for the first time on the day of their wedding. They had traveled from Bellingham, Washington, to our equally beautiful state of Colorado for their Rocky Mountain National Park elopement. When we first spoke with them on the phone, I knew we were kindred spirits when I…
When we got Jamie and Eric’s Purgatory Resort wedding invitation in the mail, it had the Milky Way as the background and promised “Dinner, Dancing, and Meteor Shower to Follow” the ceremony. They couldn’t have picked a better spot (Dante’s Peak) or day (one of the peak nights of the Perseid meteor shower) to make…
When Jesse and I were scouting for Renee and Caleb’s Edgewood Inn wedding last Friday in Woodland Park, we ran into the typical Colorado mountain weather. First it was sunny and hot, then the clouds blew in. Then we had some nice sprinkles, which turned into a downpour and, suddenly, a torrent of hail. And…
On our drive up to Kelly and Nick’s Boettcher Mansion wedding on the top of Lookout Mountain, we were a little concerned that we wouldn’t have the views of the mountains we were hoping for. The day was chilly, considering the 90-degree temps we’ve been having all summer, and the mountain was blanketed by clouds….
Jesse and I woke up bright and early to finish our sojourn into the mountains for our second wedding of the weekend. The drive was gorgeous and we both reflected on how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful state. Vail was bustling with the GoPro Games, which made some of our photo…
A busy April gave way to a quiet and rainy May. But now, Jesse and I have jumped right back into wedding season with Nicole and Jeff’s Mount Vernon Canyon Club wedding being the first of two weddings last weekend. Tucked up in the foothills, but with a spectacular view of the city, their ceremony…
I’m kind of a word nerd, and as such, I’ve been annoyed recently at how often the word “epic” is thrown around. Replying All on an email is not an “epic fail.” Doing shots at a bar does not make it an “epic” night. Epic should not be a random hashtag thrown into a tweet. But Jessica…
