He’s Jewish…she’s Christian.  He’s Australian…she’s American.  But the beautiful thing is – it doesn’t matter.  Sara and Brent’s wedding was the perfect blend of both of their styles, religions and cultures.  Their wedding reflected the two of them to a tee – both individually and together as a couple.  We’re so happy that we were able to be there with Sara and Brent on their big day – and we know these two are going to have many wonderful adventures together as a married couple!  Here are some of our favorites from their wedding up at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden, CO.

Special props to Sara’s mother, Gayle and Mark from Events Unwrapped – who did a great majority of the planning and prep work as the bride and groom live in Australia!  The day was absolutely perfect and I know Sara and Brent greatly appreciated all of your hard work!

Check out those shoes…I love them!!!

Sara slipped into her wedding gown at her parents house – just a few minutes before the traditional bedeken ceremony.

She wore her grandmother’s ring – and her future father-in-law made shawls for each of the girls…

A few of Brent and the boys getting ready…

The bedeken ceremony…

We headed up to Red Rocks for a few wedding party pictures and some portraits of Sara and Brent before the ceremony began.

Seriously – those eyes are amazing, Sara!

Then we headed up to the Boettcher Mansion for a few more pictures before the ceremony…

There was still the perfect blanket of snow on the ground – just what Sara wanted!

The ketubah ceremony…

Then the wedding ceremony was ready to start…I love the look on Brent’s face when he saw Sara and her dad walking down the aisle.

She was pretty happy, too!

The reception looked amazing – thanks to Mark with Events Unwrapped.

Delicious cupcakes by The Makery…yum!

Their brothers served as the emcees for the reception – introducing each person before they gave their toast.  They did a great job!

Sara and Brent had a very well choreographed first dance…there was even a lift!

Father-daughter, mother-son dance…

The horah…what a fantastic way to get everyone on the dance floor!

The dance floor was packed all night long!

Congratulations, Sara and Brent!  We had so much fun working with you both and we wish you the absolute best!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Winter weddings are quickly becoming some of our favorites!  Especially when the weather cooperates and provides a perfect blanket of snow on the ground…and beautiful sunshine and blue skies for the wedding day.  Corrie and Scott hoped for just that type of weather for their wedding last month up at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden, Colorado…and I think they got just what they hoped for!  We had such a great time working with this laid back Seattle couple…here are a few of our favorites from their big day…

How amazing are these shoes?  I love you, Anthropologie! :)

Scott getting ready with the guys…

Special thanks to Becky with Sixpence Weddings for helping with some of the amazing details and making the whole day run smoothly!

Love the cowboy boots, too!

Bling, bling.

Corrie getting into her dress and finishing up the last minute details before she and Scott shared their “first look”.

I think his expression says it all.  He was one happy groom! :)

And clearly she’s deeply head over heels for him too!

This is why I love Colorado!  Check out that view!

Scott with his parents…just minutes before the ceremony began.

Two of my favorites of Corrie with her Dad…

The parents watching as the ceremony takes place…

The fireplace in the Fireside Room at the Boettcher Mansion is a beautiful backdrop for an indoor ceremony!

They did it! :)

This moment is always one of my favorites.  When the bride and groom have just walked out of the ceremony and have their first moment to take a breath and celebrate…it’s always full of emotion!

Corrie and Scott had some really cute on-lookers too! :)

The wedding party…

We took a few more of the two of them after the ceremony…

A quiet moment before Corrie and Scott walked into their reception…

I adore the Mason jars and wooden table numbers that Corrie and Scott used in their centerpieces…and check out how cool those paper flowers are!

In lieu of a guestbook, Corrie and Scott had their guests sign an antique ski and a hockey stick – two of their favorite sports!

Ready made s’mores and creme brulee…yum!  Corrie and Scott actually first met at a friends wedding where they shared their creme brulee for dessert…so it was a must at their wedding!

Corrie’s grandmother started off the speeches by reading a beautiful Valentine from her late husband – amazing.

The first dance…

Grandma was getting down on the dance floor – love it! :)

Corrie and Scott – Congratulations!  We are so happy for you both and we feel so very fortunate to have been there with you to capture these wonderful memories!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Just a few of our favorites from Corrie and Scott’s wedding last month up at the Boettcher Mansion…more coming soon!

So clearly we are WAY behind on blogging…but if you know anything about Andrew and I, it’s that we love Christmas!  I mean, we really love Christmas…to the point that we have a Christmas countdown on our computer year-round.  It’s 312 days away…just in case you were wondering! :)  So we apologize for our slacking in the blogging department…we’ve got a lot of catching up to do!  But we figured there wouldn’t be any better place than to start back up with Kelsey and Chris’ adorable engagement session in Vail, CO during the holidays.

We love when we meet with a couple and instantly know that we want to work with them; and that’s exactly how we felt meeting Kelsey and Chris.  They are getting married at the Vail Cascade in September of this year and we are very excited for their day!  Here are a few of our favorites from their session…enjoy! :)

Luckily the weather was great (if not very cold, but nothing some hot chocolate couldn’t cure.)

Kelsey has such a great smile!

The jackets had to go on for a few pictures.  We were wearing our black puffy jackets so we were just fine.

HA!  “It’s Santa…I know him!”  For some reason that’s all I hear when I look at the picture on the right! :)

A few of my favorites…

The covered bridge…

These are two of my favorite images.  Somehow we made it look like Vail was empty that day, but it definitely wasn’t.

A few at the very bottom of the mountain…thanks to the strangers that let us borrow their skis for our pictures! :)

Love all the color of everyone’s skiing outfits in the background.

Thanks to Julie of Bliss Elevated for putting us in contact with Kelsey and Chris!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

A little over a month ago we were up in Golden for one of our last weddings of the year.  Stacey and Sean were married at the Boettcher Mansion at the top of Lookout Mountain in Golden.  It was a crisp, fall Colorado day…and it couldn’t have been more perfect for this pair!  Julie with Bliss Elevated made sure that they entire day ran smoothly!  Stacey and Sean are two of a kind.  Generous, kind, loving and completely hilarious!  We couldn’t have been more happy to be with them on their big day…here are some of our favorites…

Love those shoes! :)

Sean’s note to Stacey…how cute is that?!?

Stacey knew that she wanted a dress with all the buttons down the back…and while they are a bit of a pain to get into…she looked amazing! :)

Lisa with Sweet Pea Flowers did an incredible job with all of the flowers for the day!

Stacey, you are freakin’ gorgeous!  Those eyes girl! :)

How cute are they?!?

I loved the moccasins that Stacey gave all of her bridesmaids!

And these cookies were delicious!  I mean really, really delicious! :)

Congratulations, Stacey and Sean!  We are so happy and excited for you both!  We’ll have to get together for an ice cream double date again soon! :)

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

I little over a month ago Andrew and I had the great pleasure of photographing Katie and Andy’s wedding up at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden.  Emily Lenich of Particulars Planning did an incredible job with all of the details of the day.  Despite the snowy and cold weather outside, the entire day went off without a hitch…well…I guess there was one hitch!  Katie and Andy got hitched!  :)  Congrats, you two!  We feel so lucky to have been there to celebrate with you!  Here are a few of our favorites from the day…

Alicia with Bella Fiori did an incredible job with all of the flowers for the day…

Some of my favorite bridal shoes ever…**swoon**

Janine with Makeup by Janine had Katie looking especially beautiful for her big day…

I love Katie’s dress, adorned with handmade flowers…

Their first look…

Some of the pretty details…

They had a very well choreographed and adorable first dance…

Andy’s band played a few songs during the reception…how awesome is that?!?

Congratulations, Katie and Andy!  We are so happy for you both!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

We love working with couples that are fun and have a great sense of humor.  Mostly because we like to think that we’re pretty fun and we certainly think we’re funny!  So when we first met Brika and Justin, we instantly knew that they we were going to have a blast working with them!  And we sure did!  Brika and Justin were married about a month ago up at the Boettcher Mansion at the top of Lookout Mountain in Golden.  They opted for a morning wedding…serving espresso and a yummy brunch.  They both love breakfast foods…so it was the perfect fit!  We loved being there with Brika & Justin and their family and friends on their big day – here are a few of our favorites!

Love the glasses!

A cute moment between Brika and her sister…

And a very special moment between Brika and her proud Father…

I love the combination of gray and yellow…and Lisa Anderson with Sweet Pea Flowers did an incredible job with the flowers!

How cute are they?!?

One of my favorites from the day…

Brika’s Father’s toast was really great.  I think I even cried a little! :)

Brika with her Dad…

Justin with his Mom…

Brika and Justin had Scrabble tiles scattered throughout different places during the reception.  I love this idea!

Some of my favorite bouquets from Sweet Pea Flowers.  Those colors just POP!

How cute is that cake topper?  The cupcakes were delicious too!

We headed into Golden after the reception for a few more pictures of the wedding party…

Congratulations, Brika and Justin!  We are so happy for you guys!  Thanks for letting us be a part of your big day! :)

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)

Some of the tastiest wedding food we’ve ever had from Big Hoss BBQ!

Delicious pies from the Estes Park Pie Shop.

Kevin’s Grandmother is so adorable!

Emily (Jen’s sister and one of our past brides) and new baby Jen!  Congrats, Emily and Paul!  She’s beautiful! :)

I love these pictures of Jen and her Dad dancing…

First dance…

Kevin was so excited about the sparklers!  They made for some really fun pictures!

We love the mountains.  The sounds, smells and feeling of freedom we get from the outdoors is certainly near and dear to our hearts.  So when we get to work with couples that feel the same way, it’s only a bonus!  We were so thrilled when we got the email from Jen inquiring about wedding photography.  We immediately remembered her from her sister’s wedding a couple of years ago and we were so excited to be working with her and Kevin (and their amazing families)!  Jen and Kevin are so sweet together…and I think it’s pretty obvious that they compliment each other perfectly.  Their adventurous spirits and laid-back, fun personalities will be sure to bring them many more happy days in the future!  Congratulations, you two!  We think the world of you both and we feel so very fortunate to have been there with you on your very special day.

Jen and Kevin were married in Estes Park at the YMCA of the Rockies Mountainside Chapel.  The Mountainside Chapel is tucked away up in the mountains with some really incredible views.  The lodge acted as the perfect place for getting ready, and the guests partied the night away, playing games and dancing at the pavilion nearby.  Be sure to check back soon for more photos from Jen and Kevin’s wedding in Part 2 of this blog post!

Jen’s ring was a hand-me-down from Kevin’s side of the family.  Isn’t it gorgeous?  And the ring box is the original!

Jen’s grandmother’s pin made the perfect addition to her bouquet…

The last few moments before the wedding.  Kevin taking one more look at his vows to Jen…

These are some of my favorite of Jen and her sister and mom…

See what I mean about the view?!?

I don’t think there was a dry eye left in the crowd after Jen and Kevin’s vows to each other!

They did it!

The Dads…

One of my favorites…love the back of her dress!

Such a cute couple…

More photos coming soon!

Much Love,

Jessica (and Andrew too!)
