Brides.....don't DIY yourself to death

It is the last month approaching your wedding......you realize that you have way too much to do. Instead of enjoying the planning and relishing the details of your wedding, you have to run around, get supplies, and beg your friends, family, and your soon to be husband to be to help you finish all of the details. There is just one thing.............you are not enjoying yourself running around like a chicken with your head cut off.  Of course your wedding day should be fabulous, but you should not have to give up all of your time of enjoying the process.

This was me about 8 years ago when I got married.  As an artistic bride, I wanted everything "one of a kind", of course my wedding turned out fabulous and I had a good time, BUT, in retrospect, I wish I would have paid a event planner to take care of those details for me. I admit the idea of an event planner seams expensive, but overall the time and money they save you is worth the little bit of change out of your pocket upfront. You couples out there have wonderful ideas, I am sure you can communicate those to a wedding planner.

Suggestions, keep it simple but elegant. Take a moment to calculate how much time a project will take you versus hiring someone to do it for you. That way on the big day, you are in awe of your own reception and are glad you did not work up to the last second making EVERYTHING!

Happy wedding planning!

Ten Mile Station Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Mr. & Mrs. H at Ten Mile Station in Breckenridge. Not only was this a beautiful mountain venue with an AWESOME event coordinator, this couple was just amazing.  Their friends had nothing but funny stories to share about their relationship.

One lucky bridesmaid had the catch of her life! I caught all of this with my camera. Enjoy the pics from the H Family wedding. Have a wonderful, happy marriage.

Photo Booth

As a wedding professional I am always looking for new ways to help brides and grooms provide a fun way to invite their guests to step away from their tables and be a part of the wedding action. What better way to provide this than a photo booth. I have been bouncing around the idea of having a photo booth for some time now and I am excited to take on this project. Together with my associate photographers, we are going to be hosting mini portrait session in City Park in Denver to provide Summer Fun photography to families and individuals.

See the link below for my inspiration and stay tuned for the release of the Summer Fun Mini Session in July!
