This year has brought so many wonderful weddings – I am one happy, grateful photographer. I’m going to have to look through this whole site to see if I’ve said this before – but this simple Denver wedding may be my all time favorite wedding day. Ladies and gents, meet Carly and Andy. They adore each other; […]
I really shouldn’t be writing this. I’d rather let this story speak for itself, because I can hardly find the words to do any justice to the brilliance, culture, diversity, and straight up fun this downtown Denver wedding day had in store. I spent the day with Vanessa and Juan as it unfolded from a beautiful, […]
Family and culture are by far my favorite aspects of the wedding day. Weddings are always candy stores for my eye- loaded with opportunity to photograph details, architecture, color, and texture. But I am truly a people person, and a family person above all – so when Julia and Andrey described their ideas for their J.W. Marriott wedding in Denver, Colorado, I couldn’t help but notice that what was most important to them were their loved ones. Their families coming together to celebrate was the utmost cherished part of the day for them – not the cake, or the flowers, or the attire (though they were all lovely, of course). Simply family. I knew we would be a great fit.
The Cherry Creek neighborhood set a diverse scene to include the handsome, modern touches Andrey favored in wedding photos, as well as the lovely tree-lined streets that Julia preferred. We had very few minutes set aside for some photographs of the newlyweds, and a little jaunt in a vintage Bentley served the bride and groom quite well – both as a quick getaway from the cocktail hour, and as a stunning background in photographs. We were all back to the reception in no time, under the care and beautiful event design of Stephanie Hinkle and staff at the J.W. Marriott. Stephanie recently requested some of my photography from Julia and Andrey’s wedding day for a published book to be featured in the hotel – can’t wait to see it!
Elegant. Sophisticated. Understated. Classic. Just a few words that came to mind behind my camera while photographing Anne & Edward’s wedding day. The architecture and simplicity of Good Shepherd Church in Cherry Creek is a photographer’s dream and is always at the top of my list when clients ask for church ideas in Denver. Pair the ceremony setting with a Denver Country Club reception (another favorite of mine) and you have one happy camera lady.
Wedding season is in full swing and I am one grateful, busy photographer. I’ve been dotting the map already this year, meeting and photographing couples around Colorado and Texas – always in awe of the ideas and details that clever brides and grooms incorporate into their wedding day. I love crafty brides. Especially when a crafty bride is as sweet and classic as Adriene. Martin is one lucky fella, and he couldn’t stop complimenting his bride on all the creativity and elbow grease she put into their wedding day details. Their story is a bit of a North meets South, with Adriene’s Canadian family and Martin’s Mississippi kin celebrating their day together. I got a kick out of the variety of accents that bounced off the walls of Denver’s Glenmoor Country Club all evening.
