Samantha & Jason

Samantha and Jason had a mid-morning wedding at Garden of the Gods followed by the reception at the Cadet Lodge at the Air Force Academy since he just graduated. The weather that day was perfect -- because you never know here in Colorado -- and they both looked fantastic!

Cool story about the cake -- Jason actually designed it and both Samantha and Jason made the cake topper. Hats off to them for their creativity and also to Boonzaaiher's for following their design and making this awesome cake!

Samantha and Jason, I wish you both the very best in your move and for all the years to come as husband and wife. It was a pleasure getting to know you both and I hope our paths cross again soon! :)

Christine & Ryan

I was anticipating this wedding since Christine first contacted me last year to book her date. She has a smile a mile wide and is so incredibly sweet. I didn't get to meet Ryan until the day of the wedding but I wasn't surprised to find that he was her perfect match.

This was my first wedding at the Air Force Academy and I was so impressed with the natural lighting and the complexity of everything in the upstairs chapel. You need not go overboard with decorating because everything is already there for you. Gorgeous. :)

Loved their first dance.



Have you ever heard of the 'tradition' of throwing a stuffed sheep rather than the garter? I hadn't before this wedding -- but as you can tell, it's some serious stuff!

This is one of my favs -- a perfect, quiet momet right before heading back into the reception.





Christine & Ryan, thank you so much for having me play a part in your big day. You have amazing family and friends who made me feel like I was family too. I wish you both only the very best in the many, many years to come. :)
