Despite the fact that Erin and Andrew are separated by almost 7,000 miles, living on 2 different continents (him in China, her in Washington, D.C.), the strength of their relationship and love is clearly evident. Surrounded by friends and family from all over the world (as far as Hong Kong!), they were married at the Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park on a perfect spring day.

A bevy of speeches, a bride dancing like Jagger (the real Mick, not the Maroon 5 song) and lots of mint juleps and margaritas followed. Clearly, they know how to throw a party.

Big thanks to Gwen Shoemaker for shooting with me. Congrats Erin and Andrew – it was a blast spending the day with you :) Hope your feet are in the sand and a cocktail is in your hand while you’re enjoying Fiji!

Brooke and Brandon are stellar individuals, and now, as a team, they will be unstoppable. They love life, and make sure to share that love with their family and friends. I photographed Brooke’s sister’s wedding a few years ago, so it was a joy to work with their family again.

Brooke and Brandon had a church wedding with a lot of personal touches, including an amazing rendition of  “Amazing Grace” sung by two friends. I mean, a tear-inducing version. Wow.

The reception was at The Patterson Club where people sweated and danced the night away to a live band, West Side Review, who rocked it. It’s really wonderful to witness a room of 175 people who genuinely love and care for the bride and groom.

Thanks to Nikki Nicole Photography for all your help!
