Cherry Creek Denver Engagement Session ~ Jennifer & Nathan

colorado autumn engagement session denver leavesHappy Friday! After a bit of a hiatus from the bloggy blog, I’m excited to bring to you today Jennifer & Nathan’s Cherry Creek Denver engagement session. Perfect weather, and the perfect time of year to capture the fall colors  – I just love the sparkle and the vibrant golden autumn hues.  Jennifer and Nathan are sweet and fun and romantic, and such a dream to work with (and their kiddos are absolutely adorable!) They will be getting married at Arrowhead Golf Club next spring, and it’s going to be ah-mazing! A few favorites..

Arrowhead Golf Club Wedding ~ Emily & Ingram

arrowhead golf club wedding littleton colorado bride groomWith a backdrop of spectacular rock formations and breathtaking views, Emily & Ingram tied the knot at Arrowhead Golf Club. Emily and Ingram are wonderful – they laugh easily and are so much fun to work with. And their wedding was absolute perfection: romantic and elegant with a vintage sensibility (pretty and pink with feathers and crystals and all sorts of gorgeousness, including a vintage DeSoto utility vehicle to transport the bride and bridesmaids (a sneak peek of which was featured here on the Colorado Wedding Photographer blog), and later a vintage Bentley(I think?) as their getaway car). I love how they personalized their wedding, incorporating their love of travel into the theme of the decor (passport invitations, compasses as escort cards, tables named after places they’ve traveled)  Some faves..
