The Tattered Veil » ♥ just another wedding photographer ♥

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…

Go check out our new goods!  We also have a new wedding in there!

For you too busy people… here’s a link.

We arrived at the salon and took a few pictures of Kristina, her mom and sister, and then headed over to The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.   Estes Park is SO BEAUTIFUL.. I would live there in a heartbeat! I love that you have to cross the lake on this looong bridge to get into town- which is nestled in a valley of the Rocky Mountains. The Stanley overlooks Estes Park, very majestic! There were 12 weddings at the hotel this day.. Crazy.

Oh, did I mention Kristina is PREGNANT! YAY!

After getting ready in their suite, we headed up to the ceremony site. Stef and I had no idea it was a 30 minute 4×4 ride of tilts and bumps. Was rather funny to see this jeep barreling through the woods carrying a bride, her maid and two photographers. Once up the mountain, we found ourselves overlooking the whole valley. It was a pretty gloomy day, which we were thrilled about- perfect lighting! Looking out across the valley I can see why Kristina and Alan chose this location. It was breathtaking!

Alan did such a good job trying not to look at his lovely bride until she started walking up to the edge of the clift, where we were gathered. It was so sweet, when Kristina had to ask her father to let go of her hand! I tear up just thinking about it. There were some very touching moments that I can clearly recall… Kristina’s vows were so touching and sweet. Not only did I cry, right along with her, so did quite a few of her guests. She also had some trouble getting Alan’s ring on! Okay, a lot of trouble. hehe.

After the ceremony we worked our way back down the mountain with the bride and groom stopping along the way every now and then to grab some pictures. Eventually we ended up back at the Stanley and finished up our “We Did It” images. SO sweet! These two are total naturals in front of a lens or two! It was pretty neat to see all the other photographers there also, and every once in a while I’d catch them stealing one or two frames after we posed the couple.

Frame crasher!!
