She carried a beautiful bouquet of red roses and after their emotional ceremony we all crossed the street for their reception at the historic Brown Palace Hotel.  If you live in Denver or have ever visited during the holidays; many of the large hotels decorate their lobbies with huge trees and lots of lights.  As a photographer it is always fun to photograph weddings that time of year with the amazing decor.

Their reception was in one of the many ballrooms the Brown Palace offers with their huge chandeliers and pretty wallpaper. Each of the tables were adorned with tall vases, red roses and black feathers. The whole set up was so beautiful and Jo even had a second bridal gown that changed into to dance the night away.

This wedding was an interesting one because the day started out beautiful and by the end of the night we were in a full on blizzard.  Robert and Megan were married at a beautiful wedding venue here in Colorado, Arrowhead Golf Course.  It is nestled amongst some forest with ponds, wildlife and many huge red rocks.  The room they were married in is surrounded by glass and over looks the beautiful scenery around.

They had a descent size wedding party all dressed in blacks and the girls carried colorful bouquets of orange and red roses and daises.  Their ceremony was nothing short of beautiful yet emotional as they remembered those special family members who had already passed and those sitting in the room with terminal illnesses.  Many candles were lit and tears were shed as this couple vowed their life together and remembered those loved ones.

Before the ceremony we had the chance to work with the bride and groom, venture off on the golf carts and photograph.  It was just starting to snow then and the air around us was nothing short of magical.  Now, if you live in Colorado you know what I’m talking about when the mist rolls in, the giant snowflakes slowly fall and everything seems quiet…..

Once we made it back the bridal party was ready to go but of course in the ten minute time frame it took us to return, the snow started to fall harder, the magical atmosphere had left and it was just plain cold.  But they had amazing friends and family who braved the elements and stood outside with us to get those important pictures!   The view that was once beautiful greenery and red rocks became a solid wall of snow and everyone laughed as we all stood there working as fast as we could to get the shots we needed!

It was truly a beautiful day….and although cold, the snow made it that much more magical….

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds.
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is not shaken:
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Loves’s not time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom,
If this be error, and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
