christie + nick :: fort collins wedding

Morning weddings have such a different vibe. Children & the elderly are usually more awake & cooperative. The light hits familiar venues at completely different places. For those reasons I was excited to spend the morning with Christie & Nick at Tapestry House.

This little guy loved all the attention his wedding outfit attracted.

One way to get a group of men to sit at attention – install a video game.

Nick’s in foreground shadow as he sees Christie for the first time. A 300mm lens brings the two in perspective.

Here’s a twist – bride & groom wrote letters to each other, yet had others read them during the ceremony. Lots of laughs, and tears.

She had every detail perfect at both St. Matthews and Ivinson Mansion and was calm, cool and smiling around every turn. Susan’s Dad even wrote a reception song for her, “Wedding Planner Blues” – lol.
