The Crooked Willow Farm Venue in Larkspur, Colorado was the perfect setting for Christy and Jason’s wedding!! The day began beautifully, and as usual, I dove right in to photograph the details. I love seeing the little items that make each wedding truly unique!
There’s nothing like the notes exchanged the day of a wedding…absolutely priceless!
It was gorgeous as I photographed all of the details…then all of sudden, the sky went dark and a CRAZY storm rolled through. It knocked over 2 trees, flooded the drains, and then cleared back up…all within about 20 minutes!
I wish every wedding had this cool ‘love’ sign, I wanted to play with it in every picture!!
Because of the rain, the ceremony was moved indoors, but it didn’t stop one of the neatest aspects of the day…Christy and her dad entered on a carriage! The clydesdale marched right into the room, dropped her off, waited during the ceremony and then led the carriage with Christy and Jason out the opposite door!
It’s so incredible when a friend sings at the wedding reception..in this case, a bridesmaid sang the first dance song…it was awesome!
One of the best moments of the night was watching the 2 year old dance…AND watch this series (first you dance, then flowers, then….):
And they lived happily ever after

I love Dave and Amanda!!! When a couple is so expressive, emotional, in love, and fun like Amanda and Dave the pictures take themselves!
The flower girl was so shy at first…but when I asked if she would help hold the rings for a picture and then showed her the result on the back of the camera she became so happy and involved, it was so cool!
Then we took off to the 
After a few quick wedding party images, the ceremony started overlooking the red rocks, golf course and mountains. It was a quick ceremony, but the vows that each read were powerful!
The sun was setting during the family portraits, but Arrowhead had a staff member and golf cart waiting to rush us off to this amazing tee to get this shot just before dark:
The reception was under a tent near the reception site. It was beautifully lit and was full of neat moments. I always love the first dances, but one unforgettable moment was when the song ‘Forever and Ever, Amen’ was sung as a suprise to the bride and groom! It was fantastic!!!
Both sides of the family are so wonderful, and the guests were very friendly…what an AWESOME wedding!!! Congratulations to Amanda and Dave, I wish you both nothing but the best!!
The guests wore western attire and were able to eat, drink, shoot and play!
It was nice there was no rain, but a rainbow!
I love having a good amount of time in the bridal suite to capture portraits and fun moments of the bride before we head out.
In this case we headed to a ‘first peak’ on this awesome ‘skiers bridge’ outside of the St. Regis.
The ceremony was at the historic Beaver Creek Chapel and then back to the Ritz for the reception.
Both sides of the family mail out invitations, and they were GORGEOUS! This is the outside of one of them shown under the rings.
Ten Mile Station is half-way up the mountain at the Breckenridge ski resort. The mountain backdrops are so gorgeous they nearly look fake! Here’s the ceremony site before the festivities begin. One of my favorite moments to the wedding was that the bride’s family is seated here at the ceremony site, and all of the groom’s family and friends DANCES their way over to start the ceremony!!! It was SO AWESOME!!
It took about 10-15 mins for the dancing group of the groom and his family and friends to dance over to the ceremony site where they were met by the bride’s family and friends:
The ceremony was two hours long, but full of fun, laughs and lots of ritual…
I have a digital camera that was converted to capture Infra-red wavelengths of light. The result is that on bright sunny days, any green grass or trees that are lit by direct sunlight glow white, the blue sky looks dark, and the white puffy clouds glow. I think it makes for a neat black and white image!
Congratulations and best wishes Urvi and Ankit!!!! If you would like to see more of these images, 
The Space Gallery was a neat location to host the party and Debbie from Save the Date Events and StudioWed did a fantastic job with the planning and details!
It was a packed house! Vendors even came down from Beaver Creek and other towns in the mountains for the shin-dig.
