I am just back from Wes and Lauri Lea’s wedding and It’s official. Yes, that was the last wedding of 2009. What a great way to end a great year. It was really nice to capture their wedding ceremony at The Chapel at Red Rocks. Red Rocks is magical in the winter with snow on the rocks and the clear cold days make the rocks seem even larger and vibrant than normal. We then went to The Golden Hotel for the reception, thanks to Melissa for all the hospitality. The Golden Hotel is a gem nestled on the banks of Clear Creek in downtown Golden. The nice thing about a morning wedding ceremony is after the ceremony we still have some of the best natural light of the day to use and not another commitment. We went to Lodo in Denver to capture some fun images of Wes and Lauri Lea alone. We covered a lot of ground even though it was getting really cold (mid 20s). As the last wedding of 2009 I can’t ask for a better year or better clients. Much thanks to Wes and Lauri Lea for allowing us to capture their amazing wedding day in Colorado and engagement in Memphis, TN.
We wish you the best!

The view from The Chapel at Red Rocks. I love how the rocks give depth and dimension to the is image.

Rings.... Thanks Heater! It is hard to make a creative ring portrait. I feel good about this one. Something different!

This is a fun spot that Wes and Lauri requested specifically. I put a different spin on it this time. This feels more like Brooklyn than Denver to me. Love it!

December brides are TUFF, It is COLD! This image feels cold but documents what the day is really like.

Depth, color and emotion. Did I mention December brides are TUFF.... I am in a down jacket, hat and gloves.

I love the depth and layering in this image. This is right across the street from their home in Lodo, Denver.
I like the form of the wall mimicking the shape of the mountains. Seemed fitting as they are facing west looking at the Rocky Mountains.
Drama in the form of simplicity. Is this a natural or urban location?….. I think both, This is in Denver. I love the juxtaposition.
I thought it might be too dark to shoot much as the clouds were getting thick and the sun was setting somewhere behind the gloom. This image just proves that it is always good to try to make an image even if the conditions aren’t in your favor.
Another one that didn’t get away, the Mountain Gods were smiling on us. I love the sense of place in this image.












Your dress is absolutely fabby! The photos appear very nicely and creative. I haven’t seen anything like these before.
All the happiness to you both,
Nita.
