A few weeks ago I had an incredible opportunity to do not 1 but 2 photoshoots with Jamee of Jamee Photography.  Her work is lovely and we had a great time pulling together something new and fun and kinda sexy. . .  Dont get me wrong, I love a good Ranch / Resort wedding but it was a BLAST to pull off something in Denver!

A HUGE thank you to all of the Denver wedding vendors who pulled this off!

Sass-a-fras.  I adore everything about this style shoot that I got to do with Miss Jamee of Jamee Photography.  When Jamee called me this spring and asked if I was interested in working on a little Denver wedding photoshoot with her, I jumped at the opportunity.  Short and sweet and covered in tatoos – I hope you enjoy this as much as I did . . . 

And another HUGE thank you to the amazing team of Denver wedding professionals who pulled together to make this shoot stunning.  And I was thrilled to see that this was already featured in Couture Colorado.  Hop on over and take a look!

There are so many things that I love about weddings – the dresses, the decor, the tiniest details – the obvious things.  But more than that, what makes a wedding incredible to me, is when there are 2 people so in love that they dont even see anyone else in the room.  Casey and Nate are those two people.  Kind and loving and so sweet – the way that Nate looks at Casey and the way that makes Casey grin – that, my friends, is why I love what I do.  Enjoy these beautiful photos from Brinton Studios of this lovely March Devils Thumb Ranch wedding.

Okay, okay . . .I’ll admit it – we blog stalk.  Rami and I spend at least a few hours a week checking out some of our favorite Colorado wedding vendors (photographers, florists, other planners, etc) blogs to see what people are doing.  Getting inspired.  Checking on new trends and publications.  Just seeing what’s going on outside of Winter Park .  You can imagine how thrilled we were to see one of our absolute FAVORITE brides from last season on the new Luxe Mountain Weddings blog (and the lovely pictures from Jenna Walker Photography are going to be featured in the premier issue of Luxe Mountain Weddings Magazine!)  This lovely orange October Devils Thumb Ranch wedding is sure to set the bar quite high for this new Colorado wedding publication.  The lanterns, the linens, the simply stunning all orange floral design.  We loved creating this wedding!!

Happy April – to celebrate the fact that is snowed 10″ this morning here in Winter Park (seriously) I want to share the first of two Winter Park Colorado weddings that I did with Brinton Studios the last week of March.  Once upon a time on an oh-so cold and snowy day . . .

I loved this wedding – I love this couple and I loved that fact that they had so much FUN on their wedding day.  It was a treat to create a gorgeous wedding for a fantastic Winter Park couple (recognize them??), taking pictures at Tabernash Tavern (after all, it was the site of their first date – worked out pretty well  . . .) dancing with Sundog (their band) and just having a pretty good day.  I adore this bright and happy color palette that I was able to create using hearts roses, James Storeii Orchids, mokara orchids and ranunculus that was to die for.  The bright pink and red mixed with mercury glass candles and lanterns – I thought that the Broad Axe Barn at Devils Thumb Ranch absolutely glowed.    And to think that this was what it looked like outside . . .

Everything about this Winter Park Colorado wedding was sweet, soft and in my personal opinion, pretty darn perfect.  I built the design around a soft and romantic winter color palette of ivory, cream and silver.  Floral pomanders made from hydrangeas and spray roses hung from silver chivari chairs.  Abby’s bouquet was a hand gathered mix of hydrangea, white lilac, anemones and roses.  Chris and her team at the Wildhorse Inn created a delicious feast and hosted another perfect winter wedding.  Enough of my talking, I’ll let these gorgeous pictures from Allee Photography speak for themselves.

Abby and Chris, thank you for letting me create this beautiful day for the two of you.  I hope you spend the rest of your lives looking at each other the way you two did on February 12.   I cant wait to hear what happens next.

And now, the rest of the photos from Brinton Studios.  I loved this day . . .

I simply want everyone to have this much fun on their wedding day (and from the smiles on their faces, you would have never known that is was freezing outside).

For decor, we mixed and matched vintage bottles and jars with all white flowers (anemonies, lisianthus, roses, hydrangeas and stock) and mixed in unusual textures (succulents and pods)  I loved it.  Then we re-appropriated everything from the aisle and reused for table centerpieces.

Paula Thomas from Teacup Bakery made the most incredible dessert buffet I have ever seen (or tasted   and Julie Sandusky did a perfect job on all of the printwork.  And Matt Kenfield of Elite DJ kept everyone dancing all night long!

I loved every single part of this wedding.  Tiffaney and Dave — I wish you two a lifetime of love and happiness and sledding in very fancy clothes .

My pictures will never do this wedding (or fabulous couple) justice.  Fun – fun – fun.  What more can I say?  When the groomsmen all wear one piece old school 1980′s ski suits, the bridesmaids are all rocking goggles, outdoor ceremony in Colorado in January . . . I knew that I had found a great couple.    This fabulous bride and groom designed entire wedding around snowflake tattoos – we definitely had a fun fabulous and one of a kind wedding – so  in antipication of the real deal photos – here is a sneak peak of the all white floral, succulent and birch wrap centerpieces . . .

Desiree and Brett’s wedding was a snowy winter wonderland kind of Colorado Ranch wedding (it was only November but the snow was flying!).  I loved creating this floral design built around medium and dark pink roses, privet berries, dahlias, kale and Bells of Ireland.  Desiree created so many personal details (custom napkins, individual jars of jam, birdcages and custom wooden signs) that the entire day felt intimate and warm (despite the freezing temps!)  Devils Thumb Ranch served as the perfect venue,  Brinton Studios outdid themselves (AGAIN) capturing the day (click here to see the rest of this beautiful day) and Teacup Bakery created the delicious wedding cake.
