Cheyenne Mountain Resort wedding: Alexandra & Rick

January 2, 2011 Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort

Happy New Year! I can’t believe that it’s 2011! I’d love to show you some images from my last wedding of 2010. Alexandra and Rick had their wedding and reception at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. Even though it was literally the shortest day of the year (and technically the first day of winter), we got really lucky with a balmy, sunshiny afternoon. Even so, the ceremony was a very brief five minutes, just in case! Alexandra took her style cues from 1930’s Hollywood, and boy did she look glamorous. The jewelry, the fishnet veil, the sleek updo — she looked like a starlet with a handsome leading man on her arm. Warmest congratulations Alex and Rick, your wedding was fabulous!

Alex’s dog, Lady, “helped” with the preparations.

Alex is a big Chicago Bears fan. (Yes, she wore these Bears undies under her wedding gown!)

Handsome Rick!

A few moments before walking up the aisle, Alex captured a friend’s eye and stuck out her tongue.

Rick watching his bride process up the aisle. Wonderful capture by my assistant Allison.

I love the baby grand at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort and have have been meaning to use its reflective surface in a portrait like this. It came out great!

No big fancy cake — instead, designer cupcakes. How cool is that?!?

Alex’s grandma, with whom she’s very close, was surprised by a round of Happy Birthday and her own custom cupcake. She turned 90 a couple of days later.

That’s Alex’s mom on the left, giving her a kiss.

Da Bears!

Cheyenne Mountain Resort wedding: Aerinne & Kevin

Aerinne and Kevin don’t live here, and neither do their families. In fact, everyone’s spread out on opposite ends of the country. They chose Colorado Springs for their wedding because it was right in the middle! We had a VERY sunny September day for this great wedding, and the reception was a blast. Congrats to Aerinne and Kevin! Thanks for letting me document your Colorado Springs wedding!

Ceremony and reception venue: Cheyenne Mountain Resort
Bride’s hair: J Gregory Salon
Floral design: Plum Sage Flowers
Wedding cake: Cake Crumbs Bakery
DJ Services: Ron Michaels Weddings

Aerinne had two dresses — one for the ceremony and one for the party. And (a girl after my own heart) she of course had two pairs of shoes as well. These are the party shoes. Love!

Fresh orchids on the dress strap: nice touch!

There was a funny little moment during the ceremony when Aerinne couldn’t get Kevin’s ring onto his finger. Finally he took pity on her and put it on himself.

I told them, “I don’t do the ‘jump shot’!” But they really wanted to do it, so I acquiesced. I think it came out pretty good!

Last shot of the night. Party on!

Logan and Jaime’s fabulous wedding at the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort took place on June 19th, a typically windy and sunny Colorado day. Not only was the ceremony very emotional and sweet, Jaime and Logan put on a rip roarin’ party, as you’ll see from the pictures. They have some extremely fun friends! Congrats to Jaime and Logan on their union!
