Josh + Alex 08/04/2009 | by Laura Esmond

 

Josh and Alex....the dream team as far as photographer's are concerned. These two wanted nothing more than to spend hours with Paige and I, no holds barred, camera-ready, and willing for anything. I mean, come on....even I wouldn't be that relaxed in front of a camera!

Despite their willingness to have fun with us, Josh and Alex are simply a beautiful couple. From the outside in. Josh, who you know is swept away by Alex when he looks at her, loves her "exhuberance, her passion, and selflessness." But Alex, through this entire process, was always quick to compliment Josh....whether it be his style, a witty comment, or his kindness to another person.

They laugh together. They laugh alot. An ingredient sure to keep this marriage together through everything.

While viewing the images together, I asked Alex what her favorite part of their downtown Denver wedding was and she had to pause a moment, truly reflecting on that day. "To see him. I thought, this is real and I had a moment of clarity knowing he would be my husband forever." Josh meanwhile was anticipating the dress they had spoken about for months (one specially designed by a close friend). In his words she was "stunning, breathtaking."

You're right Josh, she was and is.

Paige and I both extend you the deepest gratitude for opening up to us, for letting us in on your amazing day, and for trusting our vision.

Personal Reportage: Paige Eden 16/04/2009 | by Paige Eden

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.................Mexico.

I love Mexico and everything about it.  The land and the quirkiness of it all.  I love how there is art and beauty in the most simple things.  I love the color and texture of their architecture and..............time for a vacation perhaps?

Coming soon - destination weddings!

Jenny and Matt......Married! 14/04/2009 | by Paige Eden

Meet Jenny and Matt........

I don't even know where to begin with these two incredible individuals!  They are so clearly destined to be with each other and their love story is amazing!  Both families have been friends for years and years and, incredibly, Jenny and Matt have known each other literally FOREVER!  Through family vacations, celebrations and holidays, as their friendship grew, one day, BAM!!!!.......L-O-V-E  happened.   It was amazing to thumb through their guest book and see photos of them together when they were kids!

The Ketubah signing was unforgettable - we were nestled along the river just a few blocks South of Pearl Street.  The river was rushing alongside us and we were completely absorbed into these beautiful moments, making photographs of bonds that would never be broken.

After photographing most of the family in a more formal setting at Chautaqua, we headed up the mountain to the Flagstaff Ampitheatre for the highly anticipated wedding ceremony!  After the Bedeken, the marriage ceremony took place under a beautiful Chupah with glorious panoramic views of Boulder below.

Heather Dwight of Calluna Events expertly guided Jenny with her vision of an eclectic and fun celebration - Jenny used sustainable flowers and shopped thrift stores and antique shoppes for her vintage vases.   A scrumptious vegetarian buffet was served at the Greenbriar Inn while guests listened to a live band.  Everyone was in for a special treat as Matt's brother performed a very special song, the music and lyrics penned by John himself - simply unforgettable!

I want to thank my friend Frances for helping me photograph this wedding!

On to the photos......

A Different Look Back on 2008 16/04/2009 | by Laura Esmond

I scrolled through our blog last night, the new one and old one, to find that a large part of what we do missing...in my posts anyway.

 These images show the fleeting moments: the loving look of a groom to his bride, the toast that makes the bride blush, that funny kid who seems even more excited than the bride or groom, or of course all those poignant moments when the parents realize "wow, my baby is all grown up!" 

These are the images make Monday morning editing, with my large cup of coffee, so fun. Or even bring a tear (again) to my eye.

Spring Snow 15/04/2009 | by Laura Esmond

Winter does not go peacefully in Denver, but always ends with one last note of, "I'll be back." Though we're heading into Spring here, over the last few weeks we've been dusted with the frail, white snow of Winter. There is nothing more beautiful than Spring snow showers whirling around and landing on fresh-faced blooms.
