Kara and Drew’s beautiful wedding is gracing the pages of The Knot Colorado this winter/spring!
Kara is a big wedding magazine fan so it is amazing to see her hard work on all the details recognized by The Knot magazine!

“Trash the dress,” “day after,” or “second chance” shoots are a great way to get a totally different look for your wedding portraits. Bernadette and Haydn have been on the books for a trash the dress shoot since their wedding last September. We kept trying to arrange it for snow. But last winter was NOT the winter to be counting on snow, and winter turned to spring, spring turned to summer, summer turned to fall…and we decided to just schedule the shoot before things got super cold again.
So of course we woke up that second weekend of October to see that snow had fallen during the night. And had frozen to every individual blade of grass, every individual pine needle in one of those spectacular ice displays we get every so often. (If anyone knows what weather conditions cause that ice effect, please tell me! I studied it all last year trying to figure out the common denominator for what conditions have to be in place for that gorgeous icey look and I never could figure it out well enough to predict when it might happen!) We crossed our fingers that the sun wouldn’t come out and melt it all away, they braved the icey roads, and we got our snow shoot after all!
These were all taken outside our new house/studio here in Black Forest. The flowers were provided by the incredibly talented Dawn of Hillside Consultants. She even crafted the super cool orchid garlands that we used in this first shot!
Here comes my favorite shot of the day… (PS–how rad is our new backyard?!)
One of Miss B’s requests. They get extra credit for laying down on FREEZING COLD GROUND and still making it look warm and cozy and comfy!

There are two great things about photographing clients who have turned into friends. (1) They do goofy stuff like this right in front of you:
And (2) it’s okay if your kiddo tags along for a bit. When Will saw his favorite Miss B in all her wedding dress splendor he said “You’re a princess!” and then ran off. We went outside and a few minutes later he came charging out of the house shouting “WAIT!” He had grabbed the button bouquet I’d just ordered from etsy for the new studio. He saw a bride and knew just what she needed–a bouquet. It was so precious it still breaks my heart a little! (so we let him pose in a picture with them before sending him back inside with Nic to make hot chocolate for our return!)

Iliana and Freddy are celebrating their one month anniversary today!
They go down in Real Photography history for having the most delicious cake EVER. And we eat a lot of wedding cake–we know good cake. It was so good that I unashamedly went back for seconds. The Market gets our vote this year as the bakery I’m desperate to invent reasons to visit! BEST CAKE EVER!
Happy one month anniversary, Iliana and Freddy! Thanks for having us capture your beautiful day! (And for having such awesome taste in cake!!)
