Meet Mindy and Paul! We had to pull this one out of the archives because the Phipps Mansion is now a private residence and not available for weddings anymore! The mansion was beautiful, furnished with antiques and tapestries, marble and a wonderful staircase. Everything inside took you back to another place in time. The gardens were magnificent and you most certainly did not feel like Cherry Creek mall was 5 minutes away!
Enjoy!
I hope you like magnificent colors! Meet Caroline and Karng! We decided to pull this wedding out of the wedding archives because not only is it one of our favorites, but the colors and traditional accents are amazing! For a complete description of the events taking place, here is a link to view: Traditional Tea Ceremony.
We first started at Caroline’s house where she was getting ready. Karng and his were family were lined up outside, with Karng in front with his parents – waiting to receive the bride, presenting gifts and seeking permission to greet the bride (when the actual ceremony begins). Caroline came down the stairs and accepted Karng’s gift (a bouquet) and they were presented to the altar of ancestors, asking permission to bless them. After the ceremony at Caroline’s house, we then went to Karng’s house for another tea ceremony. Traditionally fruit, cakes, roasted pig and other items are presented. After this second ceremony, we then proceeded to go downtown for a few fun portraits and then to the reception where Caroline and Karng shared a toast with each table.
Enjoy!
of all time! I can feel the anticipation, can you?
Enjoy!
What does Fall, sake bombs, a fuzzy wedding crasher, cigars and Neil Diamond have in common? Well, for one thing – the Gray Wedding! The reception involved sake bombs and my brilliant second shooter, Mark Woolcott, photographed a really fun “drinking” series…Just check out the photos….I know you will feel the love after viewing this wedding! Enjoy!
at the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts Complex:
We are thrilled that two of our weddings at one of our most favorite venues, Beano’s Cabin, were chosen for publication in Luxe Mountain Weddings! We worked with one of our most favorite mountain wedding planners, Jenifer Hammond of I Do Weddings
Enjoy!
Shoes Shoes Shoes!!! What bride doesn’t love shoes? Almost as much time is spent agonizing about what color or type of shoes she will wear as is spent deciding on florals or wedding colors! Along with seeing her wedding dress, it’s always a fun surprise to see what the bride is wearing on her feet on her wedding day! Enjoy!
This is my favorite wedding photo of ALL TIME!
The backstory (true….I really couldn’t have made this up!!!!) is that my client, Corinna, wanted to do a trash-the-dress photo shoot after her wedding. We decided that we would do one theme for me and one theme for her. She wanted to lay down in a river amongst some rocks and be in the water. My theme was her lying on the back of a horse. We both laughed at the thoughts of each others’ theme, but started to brainstorm immediately on making it happen. Corinna lined up a friend of hers who had a horse and we set to plan the date. Done and done!
The day came, I drove up to Steamboat Springs (where Corinna lives) and upon arrival, learned that the horse person was no longer available. Bummer! Plan B….what Plan B? Hmmmm, okay, let’s drive up to an aspen field and then go to the river. Okay, done. On the way, I couldn’t help but feel bummed that my vision wasn’t going to happen. Good ‘ol Corinna was like “we can find a horse – this IS Steamboat Springs after all – there are horses EVERYWHERE!!!”….hahaha. Yes, she was serious! There WERE horses everywhere. So, we literally drove around and saw a sign from the road saying “horseback riding” and we turned. We pulled up to a ranch where the 2 most interesting cowboys greeted us and we excitedly told them our story about what we wanted to do and they looked at each other and said “we have the perfect horse for you” and that was it! Literally 20 minutes later, I had my shot and was as giddy as could be. It’s true, you can make anything you want happen if you put your mind to it (especially if Corinna is your buddy!)….

I love it when bridesmaids get silly!
