What a weekend to come!

Lynn and I take off Friday morning for a great long weekend in the mountains! Friday and Saturday we're photographing Terry & Chris's wedding at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch, arguably the swankiest mountain hotel in Colorado. Friday, their rehearsal dinner is at a lodge on the Beaver Creek Ski Mountain, and then we'll be photographing all day Saturday for the wedding event back at the Ritz! On Sunday, we're hitting the Ritz pool & spa in the morning, then heading to the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Festival to see Michael Franti, Allman Brothers, Susan Tedeschi, Leftover Salmon....can't wait for all that! Details and pictures to follow next week.......

Mark & Whitney's Mt. Princeton wedding

We headed up to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs last week to photograph Mark & Whitney's wedding. They are a super cool couple, and Lynn and I were amazed how much they reminded us our ourselves. So many things about their wedding and laid back style were similar to our own, which made photographing really fun. To make the weekend more enjoyable, we arranged lodging at our friend's teepee about 10 miles away. This was the first time we prepared for a wedding in the great outdoors, complete with a sun shower in the morning before changing into our wedding attire! M&W's wedding was fantastic, despite threatening rainclouds hovering around, and even a little rain during Whitney's bridal photography session. She was totally chill and stood in the rain, smiling away, dress getting soaked and not a worry in the world. Mark and the boys started their day off right with a great game of mountain bocce ball. Thanks for having us there you guys, we had a blast!

Bocce in the mountains, obstacles galore...


Including cactus patches! As Eric was pulling this one out of his foot, he stepped on another one. He shook it off well...

And Shiva is there to be a part of it all !

The Party...

Congratulations Mark & Whitney!

Clint & Megan's Wedding

We've had some awesome weddings the past couple weeks, including another downtown Denver event. Clint & Megan got married at St. Elizabeth's and then they were off to the Brown Palace for their sweet ballroom reception which had it all: a fantastic band, awesome cakes, teary eyed toasts, a champagne cascade tower, a fraternity serenade for Megan, and lots of dancing. And I was already impressed with the fact that Clint was able to tie his own bowtie. The guy's got talent, and now he has an awesome wife! Enjoy the day...

Brian & Angie's Wedding!

Saturday we photographed Angie & Brian Martorella's wedding in Denver. They got married at Bethany Lutheran Church, and the reception was at Cherry Hills Country Club, always a fantastic place for celebration! This wedding was really special for us to photograph, because (are you ready for this?) ~ Lynn's brother's wife is Angie's cousin...got it?....which makes me the husband of Lynn who's brother's wife is Angie's cousin....anyway, it was great that we had the chance to photograph lots of people we know and love, which adds a huge bonus for our work. Now back to the wedding!

By the time we got over to the country club after the ceremony, the afternoon rain had moved in. Angie and Brian had no problems marching out onto the golf course in the rain for some great pictures! And we were so happy when the rest of the wedding party did the same. Rebecca and Terry from Cherry Hills CC were great organizers, and they helped us by holding umbrellas, driving the golf cart, and keeping the whole evening running smoothly.

Angie looked absolutely gorgeous, and Brian looked awesome. Both of them were on Cloud 9 the entire day! We were honored to be their photographers ~ Thanks Angie and Brian! Have fun in Bora Bora!!
