Boulder, CO Small Wedding Photographer

Small Wedding Inspiration at the St Julien Hotel in Boulder, CO

*Photographed with and for Eleanor at Be Boulder Photography

Rebecca, Sheldon and Miyagi- the cutest trio on their wedding day. The Saint Julien in Boulder is a great hotel to host guests, a ceremony and dinner. Rebecca and Sheldon had their closest friends getting ready and relaxing with them in their suites before the ceremony.

An important part of a wedding day is having extra time for detail photos and additional special moments- like Miyagi adding his paw print to their marriage license! Rebecca and Sheldon had so many people show up for them to celebrate, so it was a busy day, but the time we built in for getting ready photos, details of cards and memorable events was worth the planning. Often times, couples will say they love the little moments like these the most out of all their photos. For Rebecca and Sheldon, they didn’t want much posing or photos of the two of them, so the unposed, spur or the moment photos were essential. Being able to distinguish what’s important for your day is what matters. Some people want all the attention on their interactions with guests, some have a choreographed first dance that is most important for them to have photos. And some want a mix of candids and posed photos with no specifics! Having information about different priorities from other couples can be helpful, but there’s no right or wrong way to make the day special!

Couples sessions are perfect for any time of year, but I’m especially about them while the wildflowers are blooming and the land is so lush!

Photography has always helped me connect more deeply and fully with people. I get to spend time with old and new friends while they feel vulnerable in front of the camera and make it a more personal, relaxing experience. I want everyone to look back at photos of themselves and remember how good they felt about themselves in that moment.

Brenda and I met awhile ago when we worked together in Illinois. I looked forward to being scheduled together because Brenda always has amazing jokes and such beautiful energy to be around. We haven't seen each other much since we live in different states now, but I know that Brenda has grown so much as she's become an incredible mother to her first daughter. Taking these photos for her was wonderful. We spent time together taking these beautiful pictures helping her feel like the empowered person and mom she is.

This senior photo shoot was great. The views of the flat irons are gorgeous here and it was a nice warm afternoon. I had spent the week in Boulder dog sitting and was feeling kind of off a day or two before this session. Once I got outside and meet Martin and his Mom, everything was great. My favorite part of photo sessions are getting to know people. I love connecting and helping people feel comfortable/confident in their photos. After spending an hour together taking photos, my mood had lifted 10x higher than it was before. I’m always amazed at how powerful sunshine, nature and good energy is.
