The Tattered Veil » Stefanie

we HEART

Stefanie — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:26:11 +0000

We have been very neglectful to our blog in the last few months. It’s time to get back at it and let you guys know what we have been up to. Tonee recently moved to Arkansas – but don’t worry, we are still shooting together! I had my baby break late 2010 – 2011, but the little man is almost a year old and I am getting back to shoot our favorite subjects – lovers, engagements and the Shindig! I miss shooting weddings, but the nursing baby had to come first. Tonee has been quite busy in Arkansas, literally taking over there and photographing a lot of beautiful weddings. For 2012 it’s ON baby – we are back together and can’t wait to get started. We won’t always shoot together, but that just means that the tattered veil is growing and we are spreading out and taking over the country (next – world?!) HAHA a girl can dream. It’s not always easy, especially since we are both moms to 6 awesome kids (3 each) and we each have our other photography business going… so that keeps us quite busy, never boring.

The Holidays are just around the corner, and many you guys are planning to go down on one knee and pop the big question. Or maybe you already did this summer and most definitely she said YES! We have been interviewed by a lot of excited brides and I thought I’d put together a little list of the latest Etsy awesomeness to make planning a little bit easier for you. Or maybe it will give you an amazing idea that you could include in your own wedding. So here we go! We HEART:

1. How amazing are these personalized hangers! I found them on Etsy the other day, while browsing for a bridal hanger that was not made of wire. I am thinking about ordering one that says “Bride” or “I do”. It would make a pretty cool prop while taking dress pictures

2. We both have daughters, therefore we love flower girls and (being girls) we share the excitement of dressing up and feeling like a princess. Why not go all out for your flower girl, this is a pretty big day for her after all (I always have to think of Princess Kate’s flower girls and how they must have been on cloud NINE ). I love big tutu dresses and fairy wings on flower girls!

3. I keep seeing these paper umbrellas and I am very much in love with them. I’ve seen people use them for outdoor weddings, having one laying on each chair for during the ceremony. And I have seen them hang upside down over the reception tables (with lights shining through – magical!)

4. Uhm, can I have one of these button bouquets please? I wish I would have thought of that when I got married. I tried to preserve my bouquet, but honestly, it looks pretty sad these days. I don’t have my grandma’s skills when it comes to preserving flowers, so this awesome button bouquet has stolen my heart (plus, it’s cheaper than real flowers)!

5. How about these cake pops instead of cupcakes? It would make a cute favor too. And it would be pretty nice if I could eat some right now.

6. I love cake and I love (creative) cake toppers. This example is super cute and deserves a home on the fire place mantle, next to your button bouquet

7. Speaking of cake… why don’t you have that first bite from these beautiful vintage forks! So cute.

8. Uhh, this is pretty awesome! Something blue, hiding under your shoe :p

9. We know you boys are going to have a drink while you wait for the girls to get ready. So why not with a personalized flask? That would make a cool grooms man gift!

10. And last but not least I have to add a dress to the mix. If you are a vintage loving girl like me, then you will love Etsy! You might find your dream dress for under $200!

Destination: Nashville | Wedding Photographers | David & Stephanie

Stefanie — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:21:19 +0000

I am currently in Tennessee, where I got to photograph my cousin-in-law’s GORGEOUS wedding. I am so happy that I got to join family and at the same time photograph Stephanie’s most beautiful day. The wedding was held at Spring Creek Estate. This was a photographers, no, MY dream come true! The estate was absolutely dreamy, wonderful vintage goodness and eyecandy around every corner. I was in love. With a house. With the decorations. With Steph’s dress. With the horses, the dogs, the cats, heck… even the chicken! Hay never smelled so good! I wanted to jump into it and make a big hay angel on the floor. Sigh… too bad this was actually someone’s house and not an antique store. I was just too tempted to look at things (with my hands and not my eyes, like a good 4 year old girl would do!).

But back to the wedding… Steph got to marry the man of her dreams, David. The two of them are so cute and in love, real and true love. Vomit inducing love and cuteness And I took more pictures that usual. We didn’t have to drive far to get to the most wonderful background of trees that formed a tunnel. Old barns on every corner. We love to live dangerous and this was extreme wedding! Horseback riding in the dark and climbing into a barn that looked like it would fall apart any moment.

Enjoy the pictures, I am very much in love with them. You know you did good when you look at your own work and you think “man, I rock!” HAHA

Denver Wedding Photography | Cat & Josh

Stefanie — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 03:55:17 +0000

A “little” preview from Cat & Josh’s wedding. I have a hard time with staying under 80 images when I post my previews… But I got it down to 22 ^^

This wedding was absolutely fantastic! The day was a bit crazy, we got everything from sunshine, to heavy rain to thick, beautiful clouds. The rain had me worried there for a second, but it all turned out just perfect. And with Red Rocks as a background, nothing can go wrong anyways!

We went a little Ring Picture cRaZy…

totally bad ass!

favorite!!

Denver Wedding Photographer | Thomas & Renee

Stefanie — Mon, 31 May 2010 17:32:25 +0000

On Saturday Renee got to marry her prince Charming. The two of them had the most gorgeous Fairy Tale wedding planned out. I thought the only thing missing was a giant pumpkin carriage pulled by 2 white horses. But then a pink limo drove around the corner and nothing was missing anymore at all…

Thomas & Renee, we are so excited that the two of you get to spend forever together!

Have fun huntin’ in Idaho

Georgetown Wedding Photographer | Hobbits and Ents

Stefanie — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:27:45 +0000

This was a DREAM wedding! Let me count the ways how much I loved this…. out in Georgetown, a wonderful golden fall day (never mind that it was only 40 degrees and windy), trees with faces everywhere, my favorite Target people all together, a lake full of yellow leaves, wolves watching us from behind a fence aaaand my very own love was with me to play piano for everyone. It could not get any better!

Patricia & Eric got married! I know Patricia from my favorite Target store in Aurora and was so excited to be photographer and guest at her wedding. It was great to change into party clothes after a while and just do the things, oh, do the things that we like to do. Do a little dance …… … Get down tonight! HAHA

For more info on the location, check out www.shadowsranch.com - it was a dream come true! Shadows Ranch made you feel as if you are walking through an enchanted forest. The owners of the ranch keep a bunch of wolves (behind a fence), but at night they are allowed inside to cuddle up with their human pack leaders. If you know me, then you will understand why I was so in love with this wedding

the cutest flower girl on the planet! She was such a sweet doll, even though it was freezing cold!

ohh, I can hardly make up my mind who is more cuddly! LOL

Meow!

Favorite!! Duke was probably thinking “uhm… mom…. MOM!!”

what do you mean, we are acting like kids? We are Hobbits, mind you!

Eric and his lovely mom

more dancing!

and another dorky one of us

More from Emily and Kristian’s, one of my favorite weddings this year. But then again, I have to say that about every single wedding that we shoot. I always get so emotional and every single time Tonee will hear from me “I think this one is my favorite!”. It’s just always such a treat to see people in love, especially for a hopeless romantic like me…
