As we were driving into Aspen for Jenny and Kip’s wedding, we of course found ourselves quoting the movie Dumb and Dumber (one of Andrew’s all-time favorites). “Where the beer flows like wine and the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano…a little place called Assssspen” and “I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this…that John Denver’s full of s*$!, man!” were some of our personal favorites! So imagine our excitement and surprise upon checking into our hotel and receiving a lovely welcome bag full of yummy Colorado treats and a welcome letter from Jenny and Kip – with the first line reading one of the above quotes! We knew it was going to be a great weekend! :)
Andrew and I had such an incredible time photographing Jenny and Kip’s gorgeous wedding at the Little Nell. It was hard to narrow down my favorite pictures from the day, so there will be two parts to this blog post! Be sure to check back for part 2 soon!
Jenny started the morning with some relaxing yoga in her hotel room. They made sure to include a lot of sun salutations…which just might have made the difference later in the day when all the rain came in!
The ladies of Indie Six did an incredible job with the girl’s hair and makeup!
A piece from her grandmother’s wedding gown made the perfect bouquet wrap…and we were blown away with Perfect Petal’s gorgeous work on the flowers!
Kip is quite the fly fisherman. He actually tried to do a little fishing on the wedding day, but I think the goldfish got the better of him! :)
A crazy thunderstorm came through, delaying the ceremony and leaving the guests waiting at the bottom of the mountain for the gondola to start up again! Not so worry though, the Little Nell and the ladies from A Touch of Bliss were prepared with cocktails for the guests and the storm passed with plenty of time to still have the ceremony outside! It made for some cool “waiting around” pictures, though!
Instead of doing a “first look” before the ceremony, Jenny and Kip opted for a special moment where they could talk and hold hands without seeing each other. These are some of my favorites from the day! Jenny’s expressions were so emotional…
Seeing her father for the first time as a bride…
There’s Dexter, a crowd favorite at the wedding!
As Jenny was nearing the end of the aisle her veil got stuck on the stairs! The two played it off like it was nothing and had a few sarcastic remarks to lighten the mood…love this sequence!
The Little Nell has one of the most spectacular mountain views…check it out!
Jenny surprised Kip with a bag-piper that played as they were walking back down the aisle…
Many more photos coming soon…Check back for Part 2!
Congratulations, Jenny and Kip! We absolutely loved spending the day with you and getting to know you both!
Much Love,
Jessica (and Andrew too!)
