August 3 wedding at Cherokee Ranch

Last Friday we headed up to Cherokee Ranch & Castle in Sedalia, just a little west of Castle Rock to photograph Olivia & David's wedding. Here are a few of our favorite images...

Real moments -- the first look at the dress with mom & the maid of honor checking out our stunning bride.


Incredible details!




Fun portraits - The traffic heading up was awful...we left Colorado Springs 2 hours ahead of the wedding so we should have arrived a good 1 hour early but a hazardous materials spill on I-25 shut down the road so long that we arrived 15 minutes late! Our good friends from Johnson & Johnson Photography came to the rescue and were already making awesome portraits when we arrived.
It didn't take long to calm things down and start making some fun and relaxed portraits of the bridal party:


Then came the rain! It rained so hard and so violently we felt like we were in a tropical storm! Terry from Johnson & Johnson Photography packed the ladies in his truck and backed them down to the waiting limo.


Dad seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time..


After drying out, Olivia was her happy self and the wedding went on!


The boys looking too cool on the steps of the church.



Time for some quick portraits back at the ranch & castle...


And now it's time to party! Fine food & details from Epicurean Catering.






The guys made sure the bartender got a great workout!


A happy ending.
