Angela & Chris - Wedding

I think the hardest thing about being a wedding photographer is that every wedding I photograph, I always see something that I wish I had done at my own wedding. If I got the chance to marry my husband all over again, I would pretty much take all of Angela and Chris' ideas and use them in mine too! I loved the way they put everything together from the dress, shoes, flowers, reception site... I loved it all.

Angela and Chris got married last month and had their ceremony at a local Catholic Church followed by a reception on the 3rd floor of Phantom Canyon Brewing Co. When they booked me about a year ago and told me that their reception was being held there, I was counting down the days until their wedding. I hadn't ever done a reception there, but I knew it had awesome potential -- it didn't disappoint!

Angela got ready in the Governors Suite in the Antlers Hilton with an beautiful view of downtown Colorado Springs on a sunny summer day.







After their ceremony, we loaded up and drove to Garden of the Gods where we took more photos. I decided I'm going to look at these sunny images when we're knee deep in snow here next month to remind me what the warm sunshine feels like! :)


They had a great bridal party -- they kept me laughing all evening! :)

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! :)

Jeff & Carolyn - Engaged

I had fun this past Thursday with Carolyn and Jeff on the SW part of town. They are getting married this August and thankfully we finally had a day with some sunshine after the past few weeks have been filled with snow and rain. Hopefully all this cold weather is gone for a few months because it's wedding season! They wanted to go to The Broadmoor for their photos because that's where they had their first date -- no problem there! Here's a few of my favorites from their shoot. :)

Her only request was to get a shot with Pikes Peak in the background. Done and done. :)







Looking forward to August! :)
