One of our favorite places in Colorado is Breckenridge! It’s a cute little ski town with a Main Street full of little shops, great ski runs and fun restaurants. It’s nestled in the mountains so from the ski slopes you can see across the town and up another mountain full of beautiful homes. One of our favorite Colorado Wedding Venues, Ten Mile Station, is in this cute town half way up the mountain. It’s a beautiful venue designed to look like a cabin and has 360 degree views. During ski season it is used as a place to stop, rest and grab some food but in the summer they drown the building with flowers and it becomes this amazing place full of life and color for people have their weddings.
Eric and Trisha were married here on a beautiful fall evening and we couldn’t have been more excited to be there! Trisha planned the wedding based on the colors of fall, using orange, red, yellow and brown throughout the day.
Their ceremony was held on the giant deck overlooking the amazing views and afterwards we were able to go into the woods and play around. Luckily they liked pictures almost as much as we do and were up for anything!
A lot of people love the snow we get here in Colorado and as a photographer we love the chance to get one of those fun shots with our clients playing in the snow! I also secretly think girls love to go shopping for some new boots, hats and of course, a new cute coat for this session! Tom and Jill had us go up to beautiful Vail Village for their engagement session in the snow and although it was cold we had a lot of fun! We started at the top of the mountain but unfortunately it was snowing so hard and the wind was so crazy we didn’t last long. Luckily there is a Starbucks right in the middle of the Village so we were able to warm up and keep playing at the bottom of the village. Here are a few of our favorite images from this super cute couple and their engagement session!
Joe and Valerie were married at a fun venue in north Denver, Chateaux at Fox Meadows. It was a beautiful day in September and they were able to have their ceremony out on the back lawn. Joe and Valerie come from different backgrounds and cultures and we loved how they incorporated both sides throughout the whole day. The couple met while going to CU in Boulder, her studying to be a pharmacist and him to be a doctor. Because CU was so important in their relationship we took them back up there a few months before their wedding to do an engagement session. We knew instantly how lucky we were to work with them and how much fun we were going to have.
Joe is very much into football and so the day of the wedding he gave each of his groomsmen a jersey he had made with their favorite team and their last name. It was fun watching them run around the wedding venue in their jerseys over their tuxedos! And because the couple are such big CU fans they even had someone calling out the score of the yearly CU vs. CSU game that happened to be on while they were getting married. Luckily for Andy and I CSU won that day (Since that is our alma mater.
This couple had so much fun the entire day and as we left at the end of the night they were still dancing up a storm!

Angie and I recently had the opportunity to take my grandparents out and shoot a 60th anniversary session with them. We split up to take portraits of each of them. Kind of a challenge to see who could get the best portraits of them. We then came together and shot a mini engagement style shoot with them. I am working on the images today along with a few albums and wanted to share an image with you guys. Here is my grandfather a lifelong teacher with a doctorate in education.
