YAY Bachelorette Party!

I recently spent the weekend in the mountains with a group of girls celebrating a bachelorette party weekend.  It was so much fun! The bride got to spend the weekend relaxing and relishing in all of the planning that she accomplished over the past year. Don't worry, the groom will soon have his own weekend in Vegas. Sounds fun, right?

We ran into so many other bride and groom parties on our weekend that I started to think about the point of the party. It really is just to have another party in celebration of the wedding/commitment and where the maids and/or the groomsmen kick off a last farewell to their friends unmarried life. With so many couples waiting to get married/committed until later in life, the perception is that marriage is boring, unfulfilled, or is always a mistake, I don't believe this! Being a photographer and going to hundreds of weddings, I believe a marriage/commitment is what you make it.  Just like a friendship, you can't just expect it to work by itself.  Time and energy must go in to creating happiness between the two of you, while still juggling your own personalities. 

It annoys me that people see people getting married and the first thing they say is a sarcastic, "GOOD LUCK!" I experienced the same comments when I got married. Well ladies and gentleman, don't let the negativity get you down!!! The negative Nancey's might have a reason to be haters on your relationship but, it doesn't mean it is your burden to carry. Have a wonderful day!

Wedding Inspiration Board

Inspiration Board of Lori J Photography, wedding photography. This event was held at The Pines of Genesee in Colorado. The bride and groom had good luck on their wedding day with a late day shower. It still didn't interfere with photo time. I hope this board will give you inspiration for your Colorado Wedding.

The Beauty of Art

I am pleased to say that all of my searches last year and endless hours hunting online and in person paid off. I have found so many wonderful distributors and vendors that make awesome products that I can offer to all of you, my clients. I believe this is very important because, not only will you get awesome photographs by yours truly, but you can have an array of products to choose from to display your FAVORITE images on your wall in your home! That is exciting.

My job as a photographer is to bring art into your home. Most of the time that art is of you BUT, that doesn't mean that you don't need to hang it up! It is a way for you to relish in your life and all of the emotion that it brings. All you will need is a hammer and a nail.

If you had a shoot from me in the past and would like to find out how your home can be decorated with beautiful canvas prints or lovely photographs, please contact me.
