It was really nice to photograph a wedding at The Chapel at Red Rocks again. Red Rocks has a energy about it that really makes for a great location to hold a wedding. The Chapel at Red Rocks has the best views of this world famous Colorado landmark. It was a hot summer day but Melissa and Stan were ready to go. Melissa worked to keep cool while we created dramatic images up in the park under the towering rocks. The wedding ceremony was perfect and I felt like I was coming home photographing in the chapel. I have probably captured more weddings here that any other one venue. After the wedding we were off to Briarwood Inn in Golden, CO for an outdoor reception in there newly landscaped courtyard. The staff at Briarwood Inn was outstanding, They took care of every detail with 5 star service. We also had the pleasure of working with Mandy and the crew at Lupher Arts who did the motion picture of the wedding day. I haven’t seen the finished movie yet but they were true pros and we worked well together. I am looking forward to seeing the final movie! If you are looking for a truly amazing live band for an event or wedding check out “Tripping Griswolds”. They really put on an amazing show! The wedding cake from Azucar Bakery was simply beautiful and YUMMY! Please take a moment and play the movie below of Melissa & Stan’s Wedding Day storybook to get the feel of what an amazing day we had. I wish Melissa and Stan all the best and look forward to getting to know them as a married couple.

Red Rocks is one of those classic Colorado locations where you just can’t go wrong for an engagement photo session. I have done at least a hundred shoots around this area and Morrison. It is always my personal challenge to create something new as if I had never been here before, This was a good day for pushing myself.

Wes & Lauri Lea-Winter wedding at the Chapel at Red Rocks

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!
Another spin... I am really liking this one also!
December brides are TUFF, It is COLD! This image feels cold but documents what the day is really like.
What is a trip to Lodo without a Union Station portrait?
Depth, color and emotion. Did I mention December brides are TUFF.... I am in a down jacket, hat and gloves.
Inside the amazing Union Station. Best benches in Colorado.
I always try to always push myself creatively at every wedding. This is an image I created for myself just to push onward. I hope you like it as well.
