Grayson & Bryan’s Vail Wedding

Thursday, August 26, 2010 Posted in weddings

We definitely like to get to know our couples before the wedding anytime we can. Engagement session, coffee, drinks…whatever. Face time before the wedding almost always makes for better images. Still, sometimes being thousands of miles apart gets in the way. Even though Grayson and Bryan planned their wedding from the east coast and we had only met Grayson once before the big day, they couldn’t have been more relaxed. Walking in for the getting ready images, Jenny and I both knew it was going to be a killer wedding and that these guys were going to be suuuper easy to work with. All smiles for sure.

The couple held their ceremony under the Gore Range on the awesome Larkspur lawn, and while the weather threatened, it stayed beautiful for the majority of the evening. As always, Larkspur delivered an amazing meal and Funkiphino’s smaller band Over Soul’d kept the crowd on the dance floor all night. Surrounded by amazing friends and family, Grayson and Bryan definitely did it right. Thanks so much to them, and congratulations on the big day!

Joe & Ashley’s Beaver Creek Wedding

Friday, August 20, 2010 Posted in engagements, travel, weddings

We have been eagerly awaiting  Joe and Ashley’s wedding for what seems like forever, especially after the awesome engagement session we had with them in San Francisco earlier this spring. From the time we’ve gotten to spend with them, Jenny and I were absolutely positive their big day was going to be a blast and their wedding weekend certainly did not disappoint. From the welcome Jenny got while shooting their rehearsal Friday night (complete with shotgun shell shot glasses), to their sweet and heartfelt ceremony, and on to their skin baring all-out dance party, Joe and Ashley put together a crazy cool wedding. These guys were so truly ready to celebrate with their family and friends…and that they did!

Congrats Ashley and Joe! We wish you nothing but the best, and we hope to see you in Chicago soon!

Ceremony: The Beaver Creek Chapel

Reception: The Pines Beaver Creek

Aja & Ashkon, A Boulder Engagement

Monday, August 16, 2010 Posted in engagements

Aja and Ashkon met in Boulder as undergrads, and we started out on CU’s campus for some of their engagement photos. They are young and stylish and in love and wonderful to shoot. Beautiful, summery, only in Colorado golden light followed us the whole night. That, along with their willingness to showcase places they have loved throughout their relationship, made for a very fun evening.

By the way, for you ladies reading, I’m obsessed with Aja’s engagement ring. She felt very strongly about not having a diamond, and Ashkon got her the stunner she’s sporting in these photos instead. Very styley meets very conscious….I love it.

We just shot their Persian wedding last night, but here are some of their engagement photos.

Tina & Patrick, Beaver Creek

Saturday, August 14, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, weddings

Tina and Patrick came from Alabama to be married in Beaver Creek early one Friday afternoon, with their 3 sons there to take part. They arrived early in the week with their family to raft and hike and enjoy all the Vail Valley has to offer. They happened upon the bridge below the Beaver Creek Chapel and decided it would be perfect for their ceremony. On Friday in a few simple moments they were married. Their boys were so proud of them and Tina and Patrick couldn’t stop smiling! Really, what more can I ask for?!?

Thank you Tina and Patrick for being so welcoming to me and I wish you years and years of happiness together. Thank you to Meg at Gemini Event Planning who yet again connected us with such an amazing couple.

We obviously hadn’t had a chance to meet beforehand so the day before we headed out for just a few shots…..

Julie & Tim’s Bachelor Gulch Wedding

Tuesday, August 10, 2010 Posted in weddings

When I first sat down with Julie and Tim last year, I immediately got the impression that their wedding was going to be as much about their families as it was about the two of them, and that sentiment definitely came through on their big day. Surrounded by their amazing families and best friends, Julie and Tim said their I Do’s at the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek, followed by an incredible dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago. All in all, this small wedding couldn’t have been much bigger in family love.

Thanks so much to Meg at Gemini Event Planning for sending Julie and Tim our way, and of course a HUGE thank you to them for letting Gwen and I be a part of the day!
