Stephanie and Eddie – A Family Engagement Session in Downtown Denver

When two families become one, having a family engagement session makes good sense. Our goal and the reason we include engagement sessions with all our wedding packages, is to get to know you before the big day. When there are children who are very involved in the wedding day, we like to get to know them also.

We had this great plan to meet at at park in Castle Rock but then of course that afternoon we got the biggest thunderstorm we’ve had all summer. Plan B…. drive downtown to the Denver Center where we knew we could be outdoors and yet be covered.Fortunately, all the ladies were wearing bright pink which brightened up an otherwise drab day.

Argggg…… they’re KISSING!

We braved the rain and wind for a couple of minutes to get in front of the bright yellow wall. But it was pretty chilly!

Then it really started raining again. Who knew reflectors could be used in place of umbrellas?

Lisel and Dan – A Villa Parker Wedding

Uncategorized

Lisel and Dan were married at the Villa Parker in Parker, Colorado and you’ve never seen a prouder dad than Lisel’s! The man beamed from the beginning of the day until they rode off into the night in a horse drawn carriage. This was a family event, including the couples two dogs as attendants. Dogs wearing pearls! How can you not love that?

Our handsome groom – Dan, looking very dapper.

Doesn’t she look striking in pearls?

Proud Papa

Lisel and Dan wanted a photo of all their guest at the ceremony.

Lisel and Dan had a signature cocktail for their guests enjoyment.

Parent Dances

A cartoonist was hired to capture all the guests likenesses and their thank you gift. A lot fun for every one and what a special keepsake!

We love a dramatic exit and nothing says drama like 2 ft sparklers!

Monique and Rodney – Cherokee Ranch and Castle Wedding

Uncategorized

Monique and Rodney had a lovely and very romantic wedding with services at Our Lady of Mt Carmel Catholic Church in downtown Littleton and reception at the Cherokee Castle. Their large and very devoted family were so happy to witness these two exchange their vows, it was so touching to watch everyone surround them with so much love and best wishes for their future.

Flower girl and ring barer melt down just a few minutes before the ceremony began. It was as if on cue they both began giving the adults a bit of attitude.

I love this shot of the flower girl being reminded of how important the day was. She’s so serious listening to him.

and like most 4 year old kids….. you can only maintain for so long!

On to the Castle and the reception begins….

Monique and her mother

If you ask really nicely the staff will escort you to the top of the turret where the view of the entire front range is amazing!

Secret…. photographers try really hard to get the veil to blow in the wind like this. We fake it by having one person throw the veil into the air and running out of view of the camera while the photographers shoots FAST. When it happens on it’s own like this we are soooo excited!

Yep – that wind was making magic for us that day!

Magnolia Hotel, Denver Botanic Gardens – Kokoro Photography

Uncategorized

Jae Hee and Eugene’s day started with photos of the two of them at the beautiful Magnolia Hotel in downtown Denver. They wanted something with a different feel from their engagement photos taken at the Botanic Gardens and because their wedding was going to be held at the Botanic Gardens as well something more sophisticated was in order. Kate Kelly at the Magnolia graciously offered us the use of their building which worked out perfectly.

After photos at the Magnolia we headed over to the Botanic Gardens. We had plenty of time for photos around the grounds before the ceremony began. The entire time keeping an eye on the dark clouds overhead hoping the rain would move on before the ceremony was to begin.

The ceremony began with their mothers lighting the unity candles.

This was the largest piece of cake we’ve ever seen shared – but it made for a wonderful photo!

After dinner Jea Hee and Eugene changed into traditional Korean hanboks for photos. By then the sky provided the most stunning Colorado sunset as our backdrop for the rest of the evening.
