This weekend is currently my last wedding of 2012; right now my schedule is filling up for next year. I still have several weddings to share. This one took place at the rustic, fun Colorado Mountain Ranch near Gold Hill back in July. Grace and Michael were hoping for an outdoor mountain ceremony, but the weather didn’t cooperate. The ceremony was pushed indoors, and was just as beautiful (and more lucky!) as an outdoor event. Grace did an amazing job decorating her reception.
I love to travel, and this past summer I did plenty of it. I especially love going to new places, so clearly my visit to Oregon was one of my favorite events of the summer. I went there to photograph a wedding at a bed and breakfast in Eugene, Oregon (images featured soon), but managed to drive about 1500 miles while I was there, from Portland into Vancouver, WA (do I get to count Washington as a state I’ve been to if I didn’t get out of the car?!) then onto the Oregon Coast (my favorite was Cannon Beach and buying cheese in Tillamook), then down more roads to Eugene.
This was one of the most fun weddings that I photographed this past summer. Between the dancing (and I mean most of the guests dancing the entire time), live music, traditions, this wedding was a blast. The ceremony took place at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Lafayette, Colorado and the reception took place just a couple miles from there at the Lionsgate Event Center in the beautiful Gatehouse. Congratulations to the couple and thanks to Tara Low Photography for letting me shoot.
In July I worked for Megan Alvarez to capture this “sweet” Fort Collins, Colorado wedding which took place on the campus of Colorado State University. Before the ceremony, the weather couldn’t decide what it wanted to do–pour, thunder and lightning, drizzle, or just be overcast. Happily for the lovely couple Kristyn and Eric, it decided to just be a bit overcast, allowing for the ceremony to take place outdoors and for beautiful soft lighting in the images. The reception took place in the Lory Student Center, and the decorations were amazing. Awesome vignettes with old family photographs, home-made honey in mason jars for gifts, weathered hard-back books, candles, heart-shaped cookies.
Back in July several girlfriends and I headed to Lyons, Colorado to the Ciatano Winery to celebrate our friend Jaime’s classy bachelorette with wine, a picnic, croquet, and hats. We had our own private picnic area and brought delicious appetizers and decadent treats to enjoy. We tasted several wines before buying a few bottles to share with our food. Once we had our fill of food, we set up a croquet game on the lawn that would have put the annual St. John’s Versus Navy match to shame. (Okay, admittedly, this is the only croquet match that I know of other than various Heathers references.) (And, by the way, my partner and I won, in case you wondering.) (Thanks Mom, I did it for you.) It was a great, unique, fun way to celebrate Jaime’s Colorado bachelorette event.
