So I didn’t even know that my work was chosen to be published, let alone that one of my photos was the cover of High Country Wedding magazine until Mike, the groom on the cover, saw the magazine at a tux shop were he was getting fitted for a wedding he is in this summer. He brought it home to his wife, Jess, who then called me to tell me. I still haven’t seen a print copy – I’ll have to stop by a tux shop. Anyway – photos included are from Britney and Joel’s Boettcher Mansion wedding and Jess and Mike’s Flying Dog Ranch wedding in Carbondale (near Aspen).

Britney and Joel seem to balance each other out really well. Joel keeps calm when Britney gets stressed, Britney remains stoic when Joel sheds a tear. They showed this on their big day. They care so much for each other. They were married at Foothill Chapel in Golden and then the reception was up at Boettcher Mansion. It was a beautiful summer day with a gorgeous sunset. They were off to Hawaii for their honeymoon where they had a wonderful time. I’m sure it’s hard to get back to reality! Congrats to you both Britney and Joel!

Special thanks to Kristy with Moodeous Photography! You rock.

I love second shooting. It’s less stress and it’s just fun. Don’t get me wrong, I love the clients who choose me for my work, but sometimes second shooting is a nice break in the middle of a hectic wedding season. This wedding was at Boettcher Mansion and I shot for Gail Buhler of Encore Portraits. She’s so easy-going and great to work with. Kelly was so nervous, breaking down with her mom right before getting ready to walk down the aisle. But once she was with Kyle, they both seemed to calm down and enjoy.
