This warmer weather means it’s time to get out there and take family photos! I have limited weekend bookings available, but plenty of weekday evenings throughout the rest of spring and summer.

Longmont Wedding Photography

Today marks the beginning of my 2015 wedding season. I am quite excited to head into Boulder to photograph a wedding celebration at Chautauqua. (I was married there and it is just such a beautiful spot–this is one of my very favorite places to get married.) I can’t wait to see Natasha’s dress and check out their foodie-oriented wedding.

I was excited to photograph Shannon and Michael’s wedding last March. They got married on a snowy day at the Fiske Planetarium on the University of Colorado Boulder campus, which is also where Shannon’s parents got married. The ceremony included a star show after the vows. The reception took place at a private residence in the foothills. It was a unique wedding that I thoroughly enjoyed.

When Cassandra and Jennifer approached me about photographing their wedding, I was very intrigued. These two sisters were getting married at Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, Colorado. On the same day. After spending time in Japan teaching English, both sisters had fallen in love with amazing Japanese men. And they all decided to share their wedding day. Hence the double wedding. Two “getting into dress” moments, two “first looks”, two “I do’s.” Their wedding also featured home-made Mexican food that was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, a Japanese exercise, a Mexican wedding dance, awesome china that the mom scoured around to find, a fun photo wall, a sweet slideshow…it was a fun, family-oriented wedding tailored to the sisters. I am so glad to be a part of their day. Congratulations again Cassandra and Yuichi and Jennifer and Kazu! I’ve had fun reliving your special day, and I hope you do too.
