Julie and Brian were married over Labor Day weekend at a stunning ceremony in Estes Park at the Della Terra Mountain Chateau.  Their romantic engagement in Bali was reflected in the decor, which of course was awesome since Julie is a graphic designer.  The orchids and purples and teals brought the tropics to what started out was a rainy afternoon.  The outdoor ceremony was threatened many times by scattered showers, but in the end it cleared just as Julie and her dad walked out the door!  Julie is such a wonderful aunt–it was so sweet to see her light up when her niece or nephew entered the room.  Her nephew didn’t want to miss seeing all the big events, and was so cute as he tried to get good viewpoints on the ceremony and first dance.  You could tell that the adoration was equal on all sides!  Best wishes to Julie and Brian!

Kelly and Holden’s wedding was so much fun to photograph. Their first look was so full of love and giddiness! It’s such a treat to photograph brides like Kelly who just can’t stop smiling. Kelly’s dress, a gorgeous Jenny Packham design, was a dream to shoot as she danced through the night, and everything from their getting ready room at the Broadmoor to the reception table at the Fine Art Center was just stunning!

I am once again behind on blog posts, but at least that means I have lots to share!  I’m diving right in with this session from last week.

Keko is a firefighter who worked on the Black Forest Fire and is therefore one of the many heroes that saved so many homes, including our own!  I’ve been offering complimentary sessions (digital files included) this summer for local firefighters and their families in appreciation for what they do for our community.  It’s something that will be an ongoing program for Real Photography, so if you know a firefighter in the area, please pass on the information.   This is just a tiny expression of our enduring gratitude for all they did and continue to do.
