From the beginning, Josh and Melissa were great to work with! We started with an engagement session before their wedding where we kept hearing about this infamous Jeep! We are Jeep owners ourselves, so we understand the love of a Jeep, but with Josh this was a car he spent hours working on and it came in as a very close second to the love of his life. They had wanted to use it for their engagement session, but it didn’t work out, so we knew it would be at the wedding!
They were married on a beautiful day at Stone Mountain Lodge in Lyons, near Estes Park. We all arrived around the same time and Andy quickly grabbed the first shot below of Josh and his mom. At every wedding we do the parents show a lot of emotion and this wedding was no exception. We love watching how happy and proud parents are on the wedding day.
I spent the first part of the day with Melissa in a little white tent, photographing her getting ready with the help of her mom, sisters and friends. It was a lot of fun to watch her when her bouquet arrived; she was so excited and it was so pretty! It was a bigger bouquet filled with pink and white roses and lilies. When it came time, you could see how emotional she was walking out with her father but the ceremony went off perfectly and afterwards we spent some time taking pictures of the two of them around the cute pond and beautiful scenery. Here is part 1 of some of our favorite photojournalistic moments from their wedding day!
