Carolyn and Jack tied the knot on Saturday at The Space Gallery in Denver. Their day had a million touches that made the event uniquely them. Carolyn’s job as an editor shone during the ceremony: she had selected the coolest group of poems and stories for the readings. It all made it that much more special! (And best of all [because you know how I am about food], the food was some of the best we’ve tasted. I still dreaming about it. YUMMY. I think I’m going to make the food pictures I shot my screensaver. And maybe frame them for my nightstand.)

Carolyn had collected the most perfect accessories for her aqua and lime wedding. A hoop skirt, a gorgeous hair accessory, and CHECK OUT THESE SHOES!!!
Time for the dress…
When everyone was ready, it was off to Wash Park for portraits! Here’s my absolute favorite from the day:
At The Space Gallery, Carolyn and Jack were married in a room decorated with Jack’s art! On one of their first dates (or maybe the first date) they visited an art gallery where the titles were in Spanish. They enjoyed making up their own titles for the pieces, so at the wedding, they put up pieces of paper so the guests could have a go at naming Jack’s silkscreened art pieces. What a fun way to incorporate that part of their history!
During the ring ceremony, I was in a great spot to capture the traditional shots.
Nic was up in the balcony and couldn’t get anything from that angle…so he got creative and shot a few of their shadows as they exchanged rings. How clever is he?!
The kiss!
In Colorado, a bride and groom can marry themselves without an officiant. The tricky part is figuring out how to sign the marriage license afterward!
Our favorite florist, Dawn from Hillside Consultants, did flowers and centerpieces, so they were of course gorgeous! They included beautifully painted orchids.
Carolyn’s nephew was one of the cutest and certainly best behaved toddlers I’ve ever seen at a wedding!
Nic takes the best toast pictures. I always look forward to seeing what he’ll capture!
Another of Nic’s great toast pictures: Carolyn’s dad.
These guys were cracking me up as they played with a camera on the dance floor!
A good night kiss…
Carolyn and Jack, thanks so much for allowing us to be a part of your day. You were so easy to work with and we loved all of the personalized touches in your day! We hope you have a wonderful honeymoon!

Behind the scenes…
Can you spot Nic?
Glorious camera equipment dripping off every inch of me… 
When we left the wedding, we joked with Carolyn and Jack that we hoped their car was okay. At the engagement shoot, their car window had been smashed. But we should have knocked on some wood while we were joking, because when we got back to my trusty Civic we discovered this!
Oh no! Window broken, glove box open…my best friend and life-saver: GPS Girl was gone. Bernadette had been helping out the wedding coordinator and was catching a ride home with us. Something I’m sure she regretted as we drove home on I-25 at midnight in October with no window! (Of course, my favorite moment was when I looked over and realized that we could have at least turned the car heat on!) Bernadette broke out her camera for a “we can’t feel our ears” photo. Laughing at the result kept us warm all the way home.
