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.
Jonathan & Courtney’s - The Perfect Denver Wedding.

We had a great time today with Jonathan and Courtney! I photographed Jonathan’s sister’s wedding two years ago, and it was so nice to see all the familiar family members again. We covered a lot of ground in the course of the day. We started with the first encounter in a rose garden near downtown Littleton, not far from their home. We met a nervous Jonathan there and called for Courtney once we were ready and in position. Jonathan could barely take the anticipation. I gave him a pre-first encounter pep talk and he did great. It was a really sweet and loving first encounter and I am so glad that they were able to take their time and enjoy it without being in front of all their family and guests during the wedding ceremony. We then spent some time shooting with the two of them around old town Littleton. I love the reactions we got from passers by on the street. It seems they would help us in any way to get a great shot. Then off to the family group portraits - we had this knocked out in 15 minutes and were on to Three Trees Wedding Chapel for the ceremony. This was the second wedding we have done at Three Trees and it is a great chapel. The light quality inside this chapel is really nice. After the ceremony we went on to Terrace Gardens another venue we have only been to once before. The staff there was a pleasure to work with as well. Amazing food and yummy cake made the night.
Jonathan and Courtney are a couple that my camera just loves to photograph. I mean they look so great together, and even when they are nervous they still look great and powerful images just come naturally. I have really enjoyed working with this family as a whole. Who’s next?
Here are some of my favorites. They are also on Facebook, Let’s become Facebook friends if we are not already. http://www.facebook.com/peter.holcombe

The First Encounter! This is THE moment of the day. It all broke loose in an amazing emotional interaction.

This is fun! I like the texture of the wall and the quality of light was great. There were 4-6 ladies in the hair salon window camera right providing the entertainment..

This is one of my top three for the year. I love how graphic this image is while still being emotionally charged. This is a very unlikely spot to create this as it is an entrance to a parking garage. This just proves that great images can be created anywhere.

Fun, Fun, Fun. Judging from Courtney's reaction this might be the first time Jonathan has bitten her ear. It's a good look for them!

Some couples can do the swing while others just look like penguins trying to fly. Jonathan and Courtney were naturals at this. They went around a bunch of times. I was impressed. They must have practiced this?!?

Crawling through the forest under logs and through dense foliage with an angry swarm of mosquitoes attacking in my left ear....... I love this image! It was worth it!

This was a moment when I was setting up for the family groups. I’m not sure if they even knew I was photographing them or just setting up. They look so in Love!!! I really like the texture on the ground and the tones in the sky. Great sense of place.
