Colorado Springs backyard wedding :: Sarah + Darrell

small backyard wedding in Colorado Springs
I love a backyard wedding (although technically, this was a FRONT yard wedding!), and Sarah is a good friend, so this was doubly sweet for me! Sarah was lucky enough to grow up in a beautiful, secluded and unique neighborhood in Colorado Springs that is almost like a nature preserve, so marrying lucky Darrell at the house where she grew up was a given. There were only about 20 or 30 people in attendance, and after the ceremony we all went to the Margarita at Pine Creek to celebrate. It was a lovely, perfect day! Congratulations Sarah and Darrell!!!

Sheldon Jackson Chapel wedding: Susan + David

Sheldon Jackson Chapel wedding Monument CO
My last wedding of the year couldn’t have been sweeter. I love their story: Susan and David knew each other in college but weren’t romantic, and reconnected years later on Facebook. One thing led to another, and we found ourselves at the historic Sheldon Jackson Chapel in Monument, Colorado on a snowy November Saturday as these two lovebirds tied the knot! The ceremony was even more special because David’s dad, Devere, officiated. Afterward, family and friends gathered at David’s parents’ comfy home for a delicious home-cooked meal. It was absolutely lovely. Congratulations Susan and David, it was the best!

Yes, these are foosball figures! It’s an inside joke between Susan, David and their friends. I thought it was hilarious! What do you think of the “bride”? ;^)

The classic “cake topper” pose — I thought it would be apropos, since the Sheldon Jackson Chapel has such a sweet, old-fashioned ambience.

Destin, Florida wedding :: Brooke and Mike

Destin wedding Henderson Beach

What can I say about Brooke and Mike’s intimate, laid back wedding at Henderson Beach? It was so casual, the only person wearing shoes was me! The rain held off while the rain clouds gave us the most soft and beautiful light. And the sand was as white as sugar. Beautiful location, perfect wedding! What a fun, fun day. Brooke and Mike, congratulations!

Manitou Springs wedding: Shannon + Eric

Cliff House wedding Colorado

You probably don’t need to be reminded that it rained A LOT in Colorado this year, and this lovely, lovely Craftwood Inn wedding took place right smack in the middle of that catastrophic week — you know, the one where half of our state ended up underwater. And yet Mother Nature smiled benevolently on us and let off the rain almost exactly on schedule for Shannon and Eric’s outdoor wedding ceremony at the beautiful Craftwood Inn in Manitou Springs. Miracle! I had complete faith that the rain would stop, and it did. It truly was the most wonderful day, unpredictable weather and all. So many of their loved ones came from all over, and you can see the happiness radiating from these two! Congratulations Shannon and Eric, it’s been such a great pleasure!
