Scouting Wedding Locations in Advance

When we haven’t previously photographed a wedding venue we always check it out in advance. Last Wednesday, Sari one of the managers,  gave us a mini-tour of www.bellaseraeventcenter.com  in Brighton, CO. Then on Saturday we photographed Stephanie & Zach’s wedding there. 

We loved the curved staircases and the old romantic Tuscany, Italian look of the entrance.  It’s so helpful for us to pre-visualize photos we can produce at the actual wedding.

Lily Lake and Mary’s Lake Resort in Estes Park

Kacy and Garret’s wedding photographs showcase some of the gorgeous scenery at Lily Lake and Mary’s Lake Lodge in Estes Park, Colorado. Located in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Lily Lake offers magnificent views of Longs Peak and Mount Meeker. The reflection of these surroundings on the lake makes a beautiful backdrop for Kacy and Garret’s wedding photographs.

Located just a few miles from Lily Lake on the Eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, Mary’s Lake Lodge and Resort is a beautiful wedding venue. It’s Forever Garden, overlooking Mary’s Lake and the Rocky Mountains, is a prime location for wedding ceremonies. The lodge also features elegant dining and banquet rooms that provide the perfect ambiance for wedding receptions. And the attentive staff helps to coordinate everything and ensure the day goes smoothly. The resort also offers luxurious rooms and private condos for the wedding party and guests.

Jacqueline and Adam’s Wedding at Ptarmigan Country Club

Last Saturday we photographed Jacqueline and Adam’s wedding at the Ptarmigan Country Club in Fort Collins. The Ptarmigan Country Club offers a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere for both the wedding ceremony and reception and an event coordinator is on staff to help coordinate it all. Jacqueline and Adam had their ceremony on the golf course in the Ptarmigan Country Club tent. The ceremony was then followed by a reception filled with lots of dancing at the clubhouse. As you can see in the pictures below, it was a beautiful day and the sky made a gorgeous backdrop for their wedding photographs.

Libby and Casey’s Wedding at Brookside Gardens

Last weekend we photographed Libby and Casey’s wedding at Brookside Gardens in Berthoud, Colorado. Brookside Gardens is a beautiful wedding venue with three acres of landscaping. And the gardens are complete with a waterfall, brook, and mountain views, making it the perfect back drop for an elegant outdoor ceremony. We really enjoyed being a part of Libby and Casey’s special day. Even though it rained a little bit, it didn’t dampen their spirits and were able to make some beautiful photographs, as you can see below.

Ukranian Wedding Bread Dance

As wedding photographers, we have the privilege of witnessing many wedding ceremonies and unique wedding traditions. Last Saturday we photographed Mindi and David’s wedding at the Stonebrook Manor in Thornton, Colorado. They had a morning ceremony and a brunch reception and also participated in a wedding bread dance. This is a Ukrainian tradition involving a korovai, a wedding bread symbolizing community. It is decorated with ornaments of baked dough. There are two birds which represent the couple and the other ornaments represent friends and family. In the middle of the korovai is a hiltse, a tree of life representing life and fertility.

Throughout the wedding reception, the traditional Ukrainian dance called the kolomeyka will take place as well as the singing of a song called Mnohaya Lita. It is a song of good wishes and means “many happy years”. As you can see in Mindi and David’s wedding photographs below, all of the men took turns dancing with the bread with increasing vigor until David brought down the house with his performance.

We enjoy being a part of these special occasions and capturing memorable moments in wedding photographs that will be cherished forever. Browse our gallery to see more samples of our work or contact us to learn more about our wedding packages and other photography services we offer.
