Mining Exchange wedding :: Jacqueline + Jon

January 27, 2016 weddings

Mining Exchange wedding downtown Colorado Springs

Another fantastic Mining Exchange wedding! Lovebirds Jackie and Jon tied the proverbial knot on January 1st, New Year’s Day. Since Jon is in the Army, the wedding ceremony was held at Soldiers Chapel on Fort Carson; their reception followed at the Mining Exchange in downtown Colorado Springs.

Jackie took the idea of becoming a military wife (and new stepmother) and ran with it. She even wore a camouflage garter! Meanwhile, Jon looked very handsome in his dress uniform, and Jackie’s dad followed suit. I do love a military wedding since I’m an Air Force brat myself and I think the uniforms always look so nice!

I had a blast celebrating Jackie and Jon’s big day with them and their nice families — and I can officially say I’ve never laughed so much at a wedding. We were all in stitches during Jon’s toast to his beautiful bride. It was hilarious! What a fun group of people and a great Mining Exchange wedding! Congratulations, Jackie and Jon!!!

Mining Exchange wedding :: Sarah and Aleksei

Wyndham Mining Exchange wedding, downtown Colorado Springs

It had rained torrentially for days, so I was worried when Sarah and Aleksei’s big day finally arrived. But Mother Nature had other plans and gave us a glorious, sunny and warm afternoon, and we took full advantage of it by using Colorado Springs’ busy downtown as a backdrop for their romantic wedding portraits. Absolute perfection! This was such a great day!
