I photographed a stunning wedding by the water in Rocky Mountain National Park, but … this is all you’ll see of it. The couple requested a privacy option that would prohibit their images from being displayed online. Never hesitate with a special request of your photographer.
She’s from St. Petersburg, Russia – he’s from Oklahoma City, USA. The site of their dream wedding? Estes Park, Colorado.
The staff at Della Terra made the winter night reception so so smoothly.
I loved this peek at Katya’s father’s speech notes.
The Russian toasts were sealed with vodka.
The night air was a little crisp, but didn’t get in the way of group photos. There were no complaints about the cold (in Russian OR English).
Dancing went late into the night. I don’t think I see anyone sitting! I’ve photographed a number of Russian-American unions and they’re always so festive. 
Congratulations to you both! Can’t wait to see your storybook picks!
There are backyard weddings, and there are backyard weddings. Goran’s mountain property near Drake / Glen Haven, and a big white tent were the perfect match to host this international gathering.
Maybe it’s just me, but doesn’t Goran look a bit like the actor George Lazenby?
A friend performed the ceremony that included many Native American touches
The moments immediately after the ceremony were quite beautiful – perfect temperature, warm light and a vivid sky!
MC Johnny Cruz keep things throbbing til the wee hours, then many guests simply camped right there at the ceremony site! Unforgettable.

It seems that if you have an outdoor wedding in the Summer of 2009, you’ve got to prepared for a little rain ….
but we can still play indoors …
and wait for it to clear!
Indeed, Christine & Brian had a great day at Ellis Ranch. Family came from near and far as did all their “matchmakers” from their Old Chicago social group.

Ellis Ranch began in 1963 as an all-purpose horse training and boarding facility. It’s vast acreage, ability to adapt to chaning weather and excellent staff make it a great Northern Colorado wedding choice.
