Colorado Springs Wedding: Marc and Julie
Jun 10, 2008
I shot our first wedding of 2008 on Sunday! Jump-starting our wedding photography season were Marc and Julie (whose engagement portraits sneak peek is here)!
They held their wedding at The Margarita at Pine Creek here in Colorado Springs:
It was a cloudy day and rained for a few minutes during the ceremony, but word on the street is that a little rain during the nuptials is good luck. Plus, all the cool kids get married in the rain (Nic and I had an Eeyore-like cloud of rain pass through during our wedding ceremony). :)
The Margarita did a wonderful job with the food (yum, yum) and the cake was as pretty as it was delicious:
Here’s one of my favorite candid moments of the day. “Cake smashing” was a big topic of conversation (everyone warning Marc not to do it) and here is their pinkie promise to one another to be very nice at the cutting of the cake:
Since the wedding was small (around 30 people), and the guests all very important to Marc and Julie, I made it a goal to try and catch a great candid portrait of everyone there. Some people were trickier to catch than others (they would look at me every time I got my lens pointed anywhere near their direction), but one of my favorites is this shot of Julie’s dad:
Julie and Marc wanted to spend a bare minimum of time on portraits with a real emphasis on candid photojournalistic style coverage, so we knocked out all of the formals very quickly. Here are the bride and groom:
The sun finally poked out at the very end of the wedding, and I love this shot of Julie’s brother and sister-in-law dancing:
Congratulations to Marc and Julie! It was an honor to be their wedding photographer and I wish them the best!

this wedding post also seriously helped me overcome some major bridal burnout. i am so looking forward to seeing what you come up with in a mere 4 months and 9 days (well, 6 to the wedding, but really those 3 more before the sneak peak are key)
