boettcher mansion wedding | golden, colorado | shelby and chris

Sep 07, 2010

Get ready for some gushing! Shelby and Chris’s engagement shoot is one of my all time favorites, so I was really excited for their wedding. Not only are they fun and loving with awesome taste (check out the fantastic and unique teal and lime green wedding colors and those awesome gray suits), but their wedding venue is one of our favorites–Boettcher Mansion. They had such an incredible wedding–I’ve been so anxious to finish the initial edit so that I can share the sneak peek with them! (And yes, three wedding dress photos in the sneak peek is probably overkill, but I couldn’t choose between them. At a gorgeous venue like this, getting pretty dress shots is like shooting fish in a barrel!)

Emily and Sean were married last month at the Sunrise Amphitheater in Boulder, CO with their reception at the Hotel Boulderado. To say that they had two amazing venues is an understatement–throughout the day we ran into other brides who would say “So YOU’RE the ones who got it!” Emily and Sean were so easy to work with and I think I’m even more excited for them to have babies then their parents are. These two had a POSSE of kids surrounding them! We stopped at Chautauqua Park to take their wedding portraits with the Boulder Flatirons in the background and were thrilled to find purple wildflowers. Perfect with their purple bridesmaid dresses and bouquets! I’m super excited about the dancing pictures from the reception–their dj had the BEST lights for dancing photos!

We love photographing weddings at Boettcher Mansion in Golden. It has so much character and is the perfect spot for an intimate wedding. We photographed Leigh and Tyler’s wedding at Boettcher Mansion last year, and were so excited to return for Jamie and Rick’s!

I have seen a lot of weddings, but I have never seen a bride more smitten with her groom than Jamie with Rick. She couldn’t keep her hands (or lips) off him from the second they saw each other that day. She successfully snuck in a kiss during the ceremony before the “official” kiss, and she would have snuck in several others if the audience had let her! During portrait time she couldn’t stop herself from kissing him, and hugging him, and it filled the day with so much love.
