Leigh and Jason: First wedding of the year!

Wow! What an action packed couple of days! On Friday we got up around 4AM to make an early 6AM flight to Denver, CO and spent the day in Denver with Katie's mom and that evening met with some amazing Colorado photographers, Jenna Walker and her crazy husband Matt and James Christianson and his incredibly cute (and VERY pregnant) wife Charlene. Both Jenna and James are INCREDIBLY gifted photographers and it was so awesome for Katie and I to be able to meet up with them and talk about all three of our businesses. James was the only one smart enough to bring his camera so if I can grab a picture from our dinner I'll post it up!

Colorado photographers, be sure to check out James and Jenna's fstopworkshop. It'll be a great place to learn from two amazingly gifted photographers, not just some of the technical tricks to creating great images, but some of the important lessons that will help you expand your businesses. This is a great opportunity!

Then on Saturday was Leigh and Jason's wedding. Both of them are two of the most genuine people I've ever met. It was really such an honor to be a part of both of their wedding.

Here's a few of the highlights!

Leigh's mom was SO sweet! You could totally tell she was so incredibly excited to see her oldest daughter getting married!



Leigh was so relaxed the entire time getting ready. It was so fun getting to capture her enjoying her day!



The boys having a fun moment before the ceremony.



The church was incredibly dark, but super neat, it's an exact replica of an old cathedral in England. Leigh is super into England and spent a semester there in college so that was sentimental to her to get married there.



Leigh's flowers against the backdrop of church. I normally take pictures of the bouquet in more "vibrant" light, but it was fun to take the opportunity do something a bit different this time around.



Leigh and her girls in prayer before the ceremony.




Loved the light coming in behind Leigh just a few moments before the ceremony.



Leigh and her Dad coming down the aisle.



I just loved the lighting coming in during the ceremony. Catching a bit of flare, particularly when it's so dark is always sweet! :)



This was such a cool emotional moment, right after the ceremony when Leigh's dad came up and gave his daughter a huge hug.



Leigh already so gorgeous, combined with some great side light made for a great portrait.



The grounds of the Colorado Springs School where the reception was held made for some exceptional images of both Leigh and Jason. These guys were so cool to brave the cold! Hopefully the images made it well worth the while! :)







Leigh and Jason ripping it up on the dance floor. :)



And them leaving the reception,showered with a rice toss. I think I was still shaking some rice out of my hair this morning when I got out of bed. :)



Leigh and Jason, I hope you both have a terrific honeymoon in Canada! We can't wait to show you your album pre-design when you get back! :)
