I am SO excited to introduce you to our new website-IN Weddings!  Being a wedding photographer has put me in contact with some of the best wedding experts in Colorado.  Since becoming a bride I’ve learned how valuable it is to have these resources at my fingertips.  Last month I became inspired to create a place where I could connect Colorado brides with the best vendors out there.  The directory is a work in progress but we’ll be adding new wedding experts every week.  The blog will be constantly updated with vendor interviews, bride interviews and my own little tips and advice.  Our fabulous photographer colleagues are helping us to create an amazing real Colorado weddings section where brides can find tons of visual inspiration.  I hope you take the time to check it out and let us know what you think! www.inweddings.net

It’s been three weeks since Rachael & Hugh’s wedding! I’ve never been so behind on a post so I’m going to get straight to the photos. These are just a few of my favorites from this beautiful Rocky Mountain wedding at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge.

Mark took Hugh and the guys up to Boreas Pass for some photos.  Ten Mile Station is located just across the valley on the ski runs.

Congratulations you guys! You’ve been such a pleasure to work with!

Okay, so these are two completely unrelated topics just being combined for the sake of this post.

Tomorrow Mark & I are hopping on a plane and heading to Alaska for the first time!!! I don’t think it is physically possible for me to be more excited. It’s been too long since we took a non-work-related vacation. We’ll be meeting my dad in Anchorage and touring the Kenai Peninsula for a week! The most exciting part is that we get to shoot for fun and plan on coming home with some awesome personal photos. Oh, and the second best part, no computers or cell phones for a week! So, if you need to reach us send us an e-mail or leave us a voicemail, we’ll be in touch with you when we’re back in the office on the 24th.

Now on to the paparazzi. Last night we shot Rachael & Hugh’s wedding at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge. Though I don’t have time right now to do a complete post on their wedding, I wanted to share this one image with you. I realize everyone owns a digital camera but only few of the weddings we shoot is this an obvious fact. This was one of those weddings. While I was taking shots of the cake cutting from a less obvious angle I couldn’t help but snap this image of Mark in the sea of wedding guest paparazzi! Keep in mind there were about 6 or 8 more guests with cameras that I couldn’t fit in the shot. Isn’t this hilarious!

Grab a cold drink and put your feet up. This is one loaded post coming at you, I thought I’d kick off September with a bang!

Tracy & Ned transformed Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge on Saturday for a truly unique wedding. An amazing group of vendors came together to make this wedding happen, we were thrilled to be a part of it. After nine hours of shooting I felt as if I was hungover yesterday, Tracy, Ned and their guests had to have been hurtin’, they knew how to party!

The dress. From Anna-Be in Denver.

Tracy was absolutely glowing from the moment she showed up until the moment her and Ned left nine hours later. Here she is with her girls.

Ned is an avid fly fisherman. Mark accompanied the guys for a little fishing pre-ceremony. Here’s Ned with his guys.

The father/daughter dance.

Surprise! Tracy & Ned arranged for Chinese Lion Dancers to surprise their guests and lead everyone outside to the reception tent. This traditional Chinese lion dance was in celebration of Tracy’s Chinese heritage. The dance was performed by Wah Lum Kung Fu of Denver. Definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, it gave me chills!

1371-090107parker.jpg

Next it was onto the reception where the 12 piece band, Funkiphino, ROCKED THE HOUSE! All I can say is WOW!

Since I don’t have a photo of her I almost forget to mention the delightful Emily Campbell of Bella Design & Planning who coordinated the entire event! We cannot wait to work with her again!

Congratulations you guys! It’s a day I’ll never forget!

On Saturday Mike & Amy were married at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge, Colorado. Mike & Amy are such an awesome couple, we were so excited to be a part of their wedding. Their day was flawless and I loved that their dog Tank go to be a part of it all. I’m completely jealous that they are now in the Caribbean chartering their own sailboat!

Amy was just glowing before the ceremony.

On Friday we had the honor of photographing Jen & Jarrett’s wedding at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge. Jen & Jarrett are such an awesome couple and are so much fun to be around. A rainy day didn’t even come close to stopping these two from tying the knot on the beautiful deck at Ten Mile Station. Following the ceremony and a delicious dinner The Hazel Miller Band warmed everyone up quickly and kept the party going all night long!

We headed up to Breckenridge yesterday for Kasey & Taylor’s beautiful mountain wedding at Ten Mile Station. The threat of rain throughout the day made for the most amazing backdrop during the ceremony. It never rained but there was thunder, lightning and beautiful storm clouds filling the sky. It was a perfect day filled with love, here are some of our favorite images.

As always, amazing floral designs by Bloom.
