I really love when brides to be call us immediately after getting engaged. That means they’re excited about getting married and excited about planning their wedding and excited about their new life as husband and wife. These are the couples that we love working with (and have been lucky enough to work with) and Cassie and Nate are the epitome of the perfect couple. They are getting married in Denver next summer but wanted to go to Vail for some engagement pictures…so we happily obliged. Cassie had been to the Vail Village recently and loved the colors and the excitement of the area. They even brought their dog Lily with them and she couldn’t have been easier to photograph. Here’s only a few of our favorites from the day…

Briana and Dave were married at the Boettcher Mansion a few weeks ago and we were so lucky to be a part of the day. We only met them two days before the wedding but it didn’t matter becasue they were just the type of couple that we love working with. Relaxed and excited about the day…I didn’t see them stress about anything and I know they had a great time. And that’s what makes for a great wedding. Not stressing about all the little details but enjoying the day and enjoying the people who are there to celebrate with you.

Briana writes a weekly column for the Elizabeth Anne Blog so we got to see her style and we had a great understanding of what they wanted their wedding to be. Briana did a lot of the work on her own and everything turned out so perfectly. So here are the rest of the images from their awesome wedding.

Briana had all of her bridesmaids sign the bottom of her shoes. At the end of the night the name that’s left is the next person to get married.

Briana and Dave saw each other before the ceremony and it was such a nice moment. I love this moment that Jessica caught right as Dave is peeking at Briana.

Dave had a great group of groomsmen.

I don’t think they could have been a more gorgeous couple.

And they had an amazing bridal party.

Whenever you have a donkey statue and a bunch of guys you just have to check it out. I’m not sure what they’re doing to that donkey…

You could very obviously see the connection between them.

She was writing her speech right before the ceremony and it turned out amazing.

I’m standing righ next to her but I don’t think I have any idea what she’s thinking…she’s probably ready to be married.

I love how she’s looking at him during the ceremony.

I already posted the green shoes but they’re worth seeing again.

And again…

Briana really took the time to make sure every detail was just perfect…and it really showed.

Congratulations to Briana and Dave!

We photograpehd Briana and Dave’s amazing wedding yesterday at the Boettcher Mansion…there are so many more pictures to come including some of the funniest bridal party pictures. But in the meantime here’s a few of our favorites…

Jessica and I were in Philly (I’ve been there so I can call it that) last week photographing Marcus and Lynn’s amazing wedding. We had such a wonderful time and really enjoyed our first trip to Philadelphia (I’ll post some of our other pictures soon, but we did see the Rocky statue and ride on a bronze elk so stay tuned.) I’ve known Marcus since college so it was extra special to see one of my closest friends get married and spend the weekend with all of my great friends (and make some new friends as well.) Marcus and Lynn were so hospitable to everyone that made the trip and they put together a great wedding and a wonderful weekend.

The wedding was at their church and we were able to walk through City Hall on the way back to the hotel for some pictures. It’s so much fun to photograph in a new place…espeically a city like Philly where the architecture and scenery is very different from Colorado. Here’s a few of our favorites, I hope you enjoy them…

Jessica got this shot and it’s one of my favorite shoe/dress shots she’s ever taken.

I love the look on Lynn’s face in this image…I can just imagine what she’s thinking as she gets ready to head to the church.

No wedding is complete without some vodka in a flask.

They had a large wedding party but I think we were able to get some great shots with everyone.

There’s that flask again…

I love the difference between the guy and girl images.

These next two might be my new favorite wedding pictures…

Jessica captured this moment while Marcus and Lynn were dancing with everyone else dancing around them.

Thanks again to Marcus and Lynn for allowing us to be part of your wedding weekend…we had an amazing time and we wish you the best of luck!

I’m out in Philadelphia right now for Marcus and Lynn’s wedding and having a great time. Marcus is one of my best friends from college which makes the week even more exciting. The wedding is going to be amazing and the scenery here in Philly is great (so is the weather right now.) We went out today for a quick session…here’s a few of my favorites.

I’m going to continue posting some of our favorites from last year as well as the couples favorite from their wedding, with their own words.

Sanya and Grant were married in Golden Gate Canyon State Park last summer in an intimate and beautiful ceremony. We then drove back down to the Boulderado Hotel for their reception. Sanya and Grant don’t live in Colorado so they and all of their guests traveled here for the wedding. We also didn’t have a chance to meet Grant until the wedding day but it wasn’t an issue at all. We had talked with Sanya many times and they had a great idea of the style of our work and how we go about creating it. They were just as comfortable with us as if we had known each other for many years.

Here is one of (many of) their favorites from the wedding day and what they had to say about it…”This is one of many beautiful candid moments caught by Andrew and Jessica on our wedding day. They were extremely professional and worked hard all day to capture each aspect of the day. We loved it that they were always one step ahead of us – they always seemed to be there, in the background, when key moments happened. They provided us with a collection of photographs that we absolutely love and will cherish for the rest of our lives.”

This was one of my favorites from their wedding day…

I love this picture because it wasn’t posed or setup and Sanya and Grant had no idea I was taking it. They were coming down the stairs to enter the reception and I just happened to capture it perfectly.

Have a great weekend and remember to stay positive! (Blog post about that coming soon.)

We went up to the CU Campus in Boulder a few weeks ago for Michelle and Adam’s engagement session. Jessica and I both went to CSU, they both went to CU but we didn’t let that get in the way of creating some great images of the two of them. Their wedding is this summer at the Boettcher Mansion and we’re very excited for it. Here’s just a few of our favorites from their e-session.

Our last wedding of 2008 was Becky and Kevin’s at The Oxford Hotel and it was a perfect ending to our wedding season. We’d only met Becky once before the wedding but it didn’t matter because her excitement and enthusisasm for her day were unmatched. Everything about the wedding turned out perfectly and we were so lucky to be a part of it. The weather was great and allowed us some time to run around downtown denver and get some great images of the two of them together.

We were so lucky to travel to Sunriver, Oregon and photograph Terra and Matt’s wedding in November. Jessica has known Terra since high school so it was extra special to be a part of their wedding. We had such a great time just hanging out with them and their families and getting to know everybody better. Spending a few days with the bride and groom’s families is great because we really get a sense of who they are. The resort was amazing and we had a grea time and we were so lucky to be able to capture their wedding day. Here’s a few of our favorite images from the weekend…
