The theme was carried over into the reception along with potted plants on each table in shiny silver containers.  There was also a lot of hot sauce at this wedding including a small bottle with each guest’s name on it for their seating assignment.  Which of course, each table had an appropriate name like, Jalapeno….

And because these two love their dogs so much they had to have them in their wedding!  However they were small dogs and most of the time you didn’t even notice them as they were passed from guest to guest and sleeping in laps until the end of the night!

Marcus and Paige were married at Donavon’s Pavilion up in Vail in the back area on the beautiful stone patio imprinted with giant leaves. The couple had rented these beautiful brown wooden chairs for the ceremony and had the aisles lined with wooden sculptures and lots of flowers. They had even adorned the trees with orange and yellow paper lanterns and twinkle lights. The whole setting was so magical and so beautiful nestled in the trees of the Vail mountains.

Although this wedding was so elegant and pretty the couple showed their personality off when they danced down the aisle with their bridal party to start the ceremony. The bride’s mom even had a special section during the ceremony where she told a story and wished the couple love and happiness in their marriage.

Carl and Bonnie met up in Alaska where Carl had been living most of his life; she quickly adapted to the outdoor way of life, learning to hunt, fish and sleep even with the sun out 20 hours a day. When they got engaged they had the tough decision of where to have the ceremony and finally settled on the zoo! We were excited about this new venue because it was nestled amongst the trees with cute little pathways leading you to the different exhibits. The section where they were married was a large open grass area surrounded by tall trees.

The bridesmaids wore cute little strapless black dresses and carried pretty bouquets full of pink, purple and white flowers. After the ceremony they had a cocktail hour and a fun reception in one of the large wooden Alaska buildings in the middle of the zoo. We had fun taking pictures after the ceremony all over the zoo with the different animals and big blue water tanks! Because we were there in the summer we had around 20 hours of daylight so we even got in a few family photos at the end of the night! Here are some of our favorite images from their wedding!

Their ceremony was so beautiful right next to the water on the beach! Mindy had the hotel complete each of the guest’s chairs with a white cover, an orange ribbon and fan. They did such a great job planning all of the details and colors to match and didn’t stop until they completed their reception with long tables covered in Bird of Paradise Flowers and orange/blue maracas!

We are so lucky to have such amazing clients like Chris and Mindy!

Brian & Mandy were a perfect example of this radiating their love the whole day.  They were married on a very sunny, hot day and like most of our mid summer weddings we felt bad for all of the guys in dark suits!

Mandy was so cute in her white mermaid gown and green orchid in her hair.  They wanted an elegant wedding with a hint of “under the sea” feeling!  The bridesmaids wore long, flowing blue dresses and each of the girls carried a simple bouquet of white and green orchids.

They were married at the Inn at Palmer Divide with their ceremony under the balcony.  When you do weddings long enough, you begin to memorize a traditional ceremony and know most of the things the officiant is going to say.  But on top of those traditional things every wedding we have ever been to has things throughout customized to them.  It is always so much to hear little stories and things that come out about our couples during their wedding ceremony!  One of the unique things Brian & Mandy did was to use a beautiful white orchid during their ceremony.  Instead of lighting a candle or pouring sand they each poured water into this flower’s pot as a sign of their ever growing love for each other.

Their reception was beautifully done with the “under the sea” theme using blue table cloths and clear bowls full of water, white orchids and little fish in the center of each table.  Their wedding cake was an elegant square tiered cake with green orchids and a little mermaid topper!

I loved how Mandy took her “under the sea” theme and made it into a beautiful wedding!

The two ring shots both received  Accolades of Excellence from WPPI.  To see the last twelve award winning wedding photography images click here.

They set up their wedding ceremony facing the mountains with the white wooden chairs and more rose petals than I’ve ever seen lining the aisle. The ceremony was extra special for them because they had Nick’s sister perform it and luckily she made it through just before the rain came.

I loved how thought out this wedding was down to every detail! My favorite part were the many different sneakers they had everywhere full of flowers! Because Nick & Andie share a passion for running, her mom spent months collecting these shoes from everyone they knew and after filling them with babies breath, giant yellow sunflowers, carnations and other green plants they hung them by the shoe laces everywhere!

The shot with all the guys and the dramatic sky got Andy an Accolade of Excellence in Las Vegas you can read more about the 12 awards we got from WPPI here

We wanted to share a wedding today from one of those fellow photographers, Bryan & Alex from Avant Photography here in Denver.

They had a smaller wedding up in Genessee Park on a bright sunny day!  Since this isn’t a typical wedding venue they brought everything themselves including an aisle runner and chairs.  They had picked out the exact spot in the park they wanted their ceremony to take place and with the help of their friends and family had it all set up that morning.

If you know Andy & I, you know we love the color orange almost as much as our assistant, Charlotte does  So, when we saw the bridesmaid dresses Alex had picked out it put a huge smile on our face!  And actually she did a combination of solid orange dresses with orange/white flowered dresses.  To compliment the dresses Alex also picked out bouquets full of orange roses, orange gerber daises and smaller white daises.  The whole combination went very well together and was so pretty!

One of the things we loved at their wedding was the old English wedding ceremony.  Each of the wedding party had small speech to give about the couple and they exchanged old time gifts like a knife and jewelry.  It was so much fun to watch and after the couple was surrounded by all of their guests as they showered them with rose petals.

We are so thankful to have been a part of your day!  Thank you Bryan & Alex!

Mike & Tracy planned their wedding here in Colorado on the top of Vail mountain and it was truly beautiful.  Tracy’s bridesmaids wore tea length black dresses with a small pink ribbon around the waist and carried beautiful bouquets with pink and white flowers.  To match the groomsmen wore black slacks, black long sleeve shirts with fancy pink ties.  It was such a beautiful day and we were so lucky to have so much time to take pictures; if you have never been to the top of Vail mountain you should certainly go and you will see why we love it so much!

They used simple white tablecloths with black linen napkins and had a tall vase in the middle of each table with black stones, a single white rose submerged in water and a small black candle.  The whole room was breathtaking after it was dark and all of the candles were lit.  It was such a romantic setting, you couldn’t help but to feel the love in the room.

As is custom at Mile High Station, the bride & groom did their first dance on the bottom floor while their guests watched from above dropping rose petals slowly throughout the dance.

It was a beautiful wedding and we are thankful to have been a part of their wedding day!  Here are a few more of our favorite pictures….
