Retro Fun!

One of the greatest aspects of being a wedding photographer is having the opportunity to see how two people's personalities meld with tradition. No wedding is ever the same! White dresses, centerpieces, rings...all these things are a given at any particular wedding. It's the little details - the handmade gown, the funky hand-picked placesettings, and the specially crafted wedding bands - that make each wedding so unique. We had the honor of being at Laima and Damon's wedding this month, and were delighted at how much work and thought went into all the little details. The couple's personalities (both individual and as a couple) came through, and we were excited to be able to capture it all on film.

Engagement Session with Jen and Michael

Ben and I very rarely need a "good excuse" to go to beautiful Westcliffe, but we had a good one this week. Jennifer and Michael will be getting married this weekend and wanted a photo to put in a "guestbook frame" at their reception. This is a growing trend, and offers a more aesthetically pleasing and accessable alternative to the traditional guest book. With the clouds slowly climbing over the Sangre de Cristo mountains into the Wet Mountain Valley, we ventured over to the historic Beckwith Ranch to shoot some photos of the couple. Their story, like so many in Colorado, is a boy-meets-girl-in-the-outdoors one, and we therefore encorporated views of the mountains in the background of their photos. We were also able to use some of the fabulous architectural elements of the ranch and buildings to accentuate the timelessness of this couple's love for each other.

What a wonderful way to commemorate the begining of a relationship! Remember that portraits aren't just for newliweds, though. Having a portrait done of you and your loved one(s) is appropriate at any time in your relationship...and you will treasure it forever!
