August 28 wedding at Glen Eyrie Castle - Colorado Springs wedding photographer

Every time I shoot at Glen Eyrie castle I marvel at the peaceful mountain setting that is tucked away right inside Colorado Springs. The quiet, secluded atmosphere made the perfect setting for Mimi and Kevin's wedding at the end of August.

Mimi chose to 'unveil' herself to Kevin prior to the ceremony so they were able to have some nice private time together on the patio:

Kevin was really excited to see his beautiful bride!

The men played it cool on the terrace:

And the wedding party played during our brief portrait session on the front lawn:

Mimi had this cute idea to include a note commemorating all the years of marriage represented by immediate families at the wedding...256 years!

Kevin was right on queue with the dip-kiss!

I love capturing these moments!

We took a little more time for some newlywed portraits and the light was just right so it really paid off!

Mimi & Kevin finished the night dancing under the stars and Christmas lights on the terrace...Kevin was stoked to finally get to show off the suspenders!

As the sun set over the mountains, Mimi & Kevin snuck off to their hotel and we finished another perfect Colorado wedding day!

August 27 wedding at the Club at Flying Horse - Colorado Springs wedding photographer

The Club at Flying Horse is one of the newer venues in Colorado Springs and we love the Mediterranean look of stone and wood with open patios overlooking the golf course and Front Range, so it was the perfect location for Sarah and Kevin's classy Colorado wedding.

Just a few clouds to keep us cool on a perfect Colorado afternoon:

Sarah and Kevin have lived all around the country so they took the opportunity to make table cards with photographs of each of the places one of them had lived:

Their married name is 'Spork' so check out their cake topper on the
delicious cake from Little London:

The stone and wood decor at Flying Horse makes such a warm and cozy atmosphere...it's great for some detail photographs too!

Sarah told us the story of how her shoes were picked out before the dress so she had to find a dress to match...check out these kicks!

Sarah and Kevin chose to see each other before the ceremony to ease timing of the day but that didn't mean we couldn't do a romantic unveiling to the groom!

Sarah even had a 'flower dog'!

Check out these handsome fellas:

The terrace and top of the wine cellar at Flying Horse is one of our favorite locations for group photographs:

The overlook to the mountains reminds me of a prince and princess in their castle from the pages of a storybook:

All the western mountains in the background make for the best sunset backgrounds too!

A little remote-flash setup...eat your heart out David Ziser!

The first dance...

And a perfect night sky...I love the stars in this exposure!

August 21 wedding at Holy Ghost Catholic Church and Mile High Station - Denver wedding photographer

What a unique church for a wedding! Liz and Peter planned their wedding at the gorgeous Holy Ghost Catholic Church, which is nestled at the base of this massive blue glass office high rise...almost as if it's about to be swallowed up by the modern architecture of downtown Denver:

Liz and the girls started out at the Hyatt with the AC blasting to keep from melting on a hot summer day:

Liz's beautiful dress looked perfect with sun peeking into the room from between the skyscrapers downtown:

The high-rise soaring over the church made a perfect opportunity for a fisheye lens portrait:

Liz and Peter's wedding party was terrific - they were up for anything as we walked through the Highlands neighborhood for some fun portraits. I loved how Peter was so romantic with Liz, kissing her on the hand in the middle of the street:

We wrapped up the night at the one and only Mile High Station where Dave and the gang from Celebration Nation Entertainment rocked the night away with the Broncos game going on next door!
