Amy & Craig’s wedding ~ Westin Riverfront Beaver Creek

westin riverfront beaver creek weddingAmy& Craig are married! Their mountain wedding ceremony took place at the Beaver Creek Chapel, which is a lovely stone chapel nestled into the trees in the heart of Beaver Creek. The reception was held at the Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa at Beaver Creek, with a cocktail hour on the patio overlooking the river. Such an amazing day, and I loved being a part of it.

one of my favorite parts of the day-  ‘getting ready’

Thank you, Amy & Craig, for having me photograph your day. My warmest congratulations to you both!!

So lucky that I not only get to work with amazing clients but I also get to work with such an incredible team of vendors – starting with the ceremony at the Beaver Creek Chapel officiated by Tim Wilbanks, and Vail Valley String Quartet provided the classical music before and during the ceremony. Cocktail and Reception Music provided by the amazing Fred Hammond with A Great Time DJ, and videography services were provided by Artistic Aura Productions. Hothouse Flowers of Vail created the stunning bridal bouquets and floral centerpieces, and Amy’s dress was from Boulder Bridal. The  Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa, with their incredible attention to detail and service, hosted both the cocktail hour (on the patio) and the reception in the Riverside Ballroom. Big kudos to all involved.

Sara & Braylen’s wedding ~ The Westin Westminster

I’ve been so excited to share Sara and Braylen’s wedding, which took place earlier this month at the Westin Westminster. This was a wedding that had all the elements that make up an incredible day – it was lovely and elegant. Emotional. Gorgeous weather. An even more gorgeous couple. Incredible decor. To-die-for shoes. And a yellow bow tie. And argyle socks. But most importantly, Sara and Braylen are absolutely perfect for each other, and the entire event was a perfect reflection of that.

I just love their color palate of yellow and gray and how they infused their sense of style into all the details of the wedding – simply stunning.

Denver Botanic Garden at Chatfield Wedding

While Jacy and Todd are luxuriating on a honeymoon to the white sandy beaches of Bora Bora (courtesy of Ellen!), I thought I’d post a few more images from their fabulous Colorado wedding. It was ah-mazing! (I know I say that about pretty much every wedding, but that’s only because it’s true :)

When I first spoke with Jacy she mentioned how important it was that their wedding be truly representative of them – she described it as wanting a simple country wedding – rustic and down-home, fun and relaxed, and authentic. And it was – everything from the quintessential Colorado backdrop at the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to the cowboy boots & cowboy hats, to the burlap incorporated in the beautiful floral bridal bouquets. The centerpieces were comprised various pieces of bee-keeping memorabilia (Jacy’s family represents four generations of bee-keeping tradition in Colorado (check out Beeyond the Hive), and Jacy & Todd even did a unity pouring of honey during the ceremony. It was perfect. Here are a few favorites..
