September 13 wedding at Village Seven Presbyterian

It seems that our weddings take us to Denver more often than not so this weekend's wedding at Village Seven Presbyterian and a reception finishing up only miles from our house was a real treat!

We knew it was going to be a great day when we woke up to a beautiful dusting of snow on Pike's Peak:




The rain of the last few days gave way to a beautiful sunny day and it was one of those perfect Colorado September days -- somewhat crisp yet just enough sun to keep you from getting cold. We caught up with the groom at his mom's house, very proud that he'd remembered his black socks! Hey, we guys have to start with the little victories ;)




With perfect blue skies and purple mountains in the background, we headed to the church to get ready.




The bride had picked colored vests for the groomsmen and each of them matched a bridesmaid's dress:






The bride chose to meet us at the church too so with the men being the early arrivers, we got to spend some extra time with them and make some fun portraits. The bride's father was also one of the groomsmen and had been reading a book all morning so we didn't make him stop for these portraits ;)




Some multi-colored bouquets for the ladies:






The stained-glass cross at Village Seven Presbyterian is beautiful...it's also huge!




The ceremony ended just in time to give us some great light out on the church grounds for the newlywed portraits:




It's also hard to go wrong with this for a background!




I liked how the light made the side of the church look like it was floating in the clouds...




Off to the reception at the bride's parents' back yard. where we had a great time...and the treat of the night was the cake which was made by the bride herself, a talented cake baker!




And that's it! We'll have more when they get back from the honeymoon!
