Wedding Photographer in Boulder

Have you ever seen a first look with an alpaca? Alyssa knew Bradley loved llamas and she compromised with getting an alpaca to show up in her place for the first look!

After lots of plotting behind the scenes to make that happen, Bradley had a surprise too. He gave Alyssa an adorable collage of photos of a puppy that he adopted in secret! They would bring the pup home in a few weeks. Alyssa cried and laughed and it was so sweet to witness.

Before the ceremony, the weather was a bit more cold and windy than expected. They had an amazing team to help reassure them. One of their coordinators read them a poem about how rain on a wedding day is never bad luck. In fact, it symbolizes strength. Rainwater on a knot only makes the knot stronger and more difficult to untie, just like the bond of a marriage.

All wedding days are memorable for the best reasons- Alyssa and Bradley’s day was no exception.

Katie and Mike’s wedding day full of sunshine and color! These two made personalized key chains with each guest’s name on them at their seat before dinner, their flower girls tossed colorful ribbons, they danced to Allison Kraus and Still Woozy and they had the most loving guests. It was such a beautiful day. I’m grateful to have worked with an awesome photographer, Mikaela Antonelli to capture the day digitally and on film!

Kara and Josh’s wedding day was incredible. They invited immediate family and their closest friends to be a small party of around 30 people. They are one of the most sweet couples I have ever met. These two are so in love and so meant to be together. Every photo that Eleanor and I took seemed so effortless. Kara and Josh put themselves into the sweetest poses on their own and looked lovingly into each other’s eyes every few minutes. Expressing their love and care for each other as we took photos, they did the best job of not noticing us as the photographers. Everything was so natural and I was so honored to witness and capture their love.

The symbolism in their day was intentional and beautiful. They call each other “blueberry” as a pet name, so Kara and Josh chose to get tattoos of blueberries instead of using wedding rings. To follow this theme, there was blueberry pie dessert. At the wedding ceremony, they had a unity plant for Kara’s mother who passed away that had soil from her and Josh’s garden at home mixed with some of her mother’s ashes. And the venue name, The Black Cat, holds meaning in the way they began dating. When her and Josh first met, she had a little black cat who trusted no one except Kara until that cat met Josh and jumped up on his lap that same day. And that’s how Kara knew Josh would be very special to her.

On top of all this beauty, Kara, Josh, their family and friends were all so welcoming. Eleanor and I had met some of them at Kara’s brother’s wedding that we photographed last year. It was such a perfect day with beautiful Colorado weather, amazing food at the farm to table restaurant and beautiful people in love.
