Air Force Academy wedding: Emily & Alex

How much do I love my job?!? Emily and Alex have been such a pleasure to work with from minute one! I was so excited when their wedding day finally arrived. They were married in a traditional Catholic mass at the AFA Cadet Chapel, and their wedding reception was at the Colorado Springs Marriott. It was such a great day. Congratulations Alex and Emily!

Emily’s shoes were to DIE for.

Emily’s grandmother, the lady on the right in this picture, sewed the wedding gown. Amazing. She also sewed the veil, the garters, and the bridesmaid dresses.  And she did it all in THREE MONTHS.

Isn’t she a beautiful bride?

Alex and Emily’s ceremony was in the Catholic section of the Cadet Chapel, downstairs from the main chapel.

Married 60 seconds. I live for moments like this.

Alex is an Air Force fighter pilot.  F-16 shaped cookies?  I’ll have one! Or maybe two ;^)

Shove Chapel wedding: Jennifer & Nick

It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of shooting a wedding at Shove Chapel. The beauty of that church is never lost on me. Jenn and Nick had a thoroughly Air Force wedding, right down to the toasts. It was a lot of fun, and the party at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort was epic. What a great day!

I just love this picture. It’s clear that Nick adores Jennifer.

It took some coaxing to get Jennifer out of her shoes, but I think it was worth it for this cute  wedding picture in front of the lake at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort.

Jenn and Nick provided their guests with cigars, and the party promptly moved outside for a while. There was such great camaraderie as everyone enjoyed conversation, drink and stogies.

The remains of the cigars.
