Manor House Wedding | Kerry and Blake

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

cmp_037

Kerry and Blake were married last fall at the beautiful Evans Chapel on the DU Campus. Their reception was held at the historic Manor House in the Ken Caryl Valley. This couple couldn’t have been more pleasurable to work with, even though we spent most of our time on Skype since they were living in Germany during the planning period!

Kerry had the desire to be surrounded by soft, lush flowers, blush tones and simple textures. We worked with an amazing florist, Annie Aubert, to accomplish Kerry’s dreams for her wedding day. The chapel was draped in lovely pale flowers and soft candle light.

Their reception at the Manor House was filled with love and laughter - and even when the party was officially over, one of their friends hopped on the piano for a group choir session before their transportation arrived.

It was amazing to see the love this bride and groom had on their wedding day, and I will truly miss working with them!

Thanks to the fantastic photographer, Chris McLaughlin for these awesome images!  Planning and design by Gabby at Save the Date Events.

Beaver Creek Wedding | Sarah and John

Monday, November 8th, 2010
519-11

Sarah and John’s wedding happened on a bright and sunny August day in the adorable town of Beaver Creek, Colorado. The ceremony was held at the Beaver Creek Chapel, where sunlight streamed through the large stained-glass window as they gave their vows. The beautiful bouquets and flowers were all created by the talented Plum Sage Florist.

The cocktail hour and reception were held at a beautiful private home in the Mountain Star neighborhood of Avon, Colorado and guests were transported there in shuttles provided by All Mountain Transportation. The guests enjoyed the warm night under clean white tenting provided by Colorado Party Rentals and enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres and dinner buffet which were created by Vail Catering Concepts. The guests danced the night away with the great tunes from the Don Watson Band - they were awesome!

Special thanks to Pettit Photography for these amazing images! Kent was incredibly professional, highly experienced and genuinely interested in capturing the intimacies of the day.

Congratulations to Sarah and John!

Breckenridge Wedding Planners | Christy & Gabe at Ten Mile Station

Christy and Gabe were such an amazing couple to work with. Even though the bride lived in two different states during the planning process, we made sure every detail was covered!

Their beautiful wedding couldn’t have had a better day in Breckenridge Colorado, where the sun was bright and the blue sky looked like it could go on forever.  The ceremony and reception were held at Ten Mile Station, a venue that we love at Save the Date Events. It is part ski lodge, part wedding site and is perfect for any mountain lover!

The lovely flowers were created by Petal and Bean, who also made an etched C&G base for her Wish Tree, and found Christy a perfect deep Merlot aisle runner. The ceremony music was provided by Sister’s Quartet, and the beautiful ceremony was given by Pastor Rasmussen. We loved the two flawless cakes that were baked by Intricate Icings as well.

Holly Canfield couldn’t have done a better job with the stationary items, they were amazing! The DJ provided by A Music Plus had the guests dancing all night!

Thank you so much to Robert from Fine Art Weddings for these gorgeous photographs!

Engagement Photo Tips and Advice

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

1. Dress in a way that makes you feel good. If you are most comfortable in jeans, wear your favorite pair. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to dress but keep in mind that extra tight or extra baggy are not going to be your best choices for photos. Generally, solid prints with fun accessories photograph well. Bold prints and patterns tend to take over the focus of the photo.

2. With #1 in mind, you also want to dress in a similar style to your fiancé. If you wear jeans, he shouldn’t be wearing a suit.

3. Can’t decide on one outfit? Bring a few. It’s okay to change mid-way through the photo shoot. Two outfits are good. Five are too many.

4. Wear make-up. Even if you don’t usually wear any, at least consider mascara and lip gloss. The camera makes your everyday make-up seem like you aren’t wearing any so add a little extra on the day of your engagement photos or splurge on a professional to apply your make-up.

5. Bring your pet. If your dog is a big part of your life, bring your furry friend for a few photos.

Your Colorado wedding photographer will have more tips and advice for you to look and feel your best for your engagement photo session.

Sarah and Greg hired us as theirVail wedding coordinator ten days before the wedding. At the last minute, Sarah realized she needed a professional to pull it all together and make sure her Vail wedding at Donovan Pavilion was perfectly executed. Despite a very chilly and rainy rehearsal the day before, the wedding day turned out to be gorgeous. With the help of wonderful vendors and Sarah’s careful planning, we coordinated a beautiful wedding day. Thanks to our vendor team of A Music Plus, Sweet Water Images, Petals and Pours, Alpine Party Rentals and Premium Digital Solutions for their wonderful work on the wedding day.
