kara + brett :: fort collins wedding

A dose of Winter came early to Colorado this year. Parts of Fort Collins got three inches of Homecoming snow, but that didn’t dampen Kara for one second. She was full-on laughter and smiles all wedding day!

Despite lower October temperatures than anyone would imagine, everyone was hip to jump out in the cold and have some fun.

First Baptist Church of Fort Collins has such a nicely renovated sanctuary. Rhonda took such great care of everyone.

Ask either Kelsey & Seth what their favorite class in college has been and they’ll both enthusiastically respond, “Astronomy.”

That’s where our newlyweds met, and a later move by Seth to a house on Constellation Drive set the planetary alignment in motion.

jen + josh :: casper wedding

Like so many couples I photograph, Jennifer & Josh from Casper Wyoming met in high school – but didn’t date then. A chance encounter when Josh when both were home from college ignited the spark that burned to their wedding day in the hometown.

The October light was just perfect for an outdoor park ceremony. Josh had very cool ceremony set list picked out with Death Cab For Cutie, Arcade Fire, Talking Heads. I felt like my iPod had been hijacked, lol.

The couple patiently await their announcement into the reception at the Casper Elks Club. An ultra-wide lens takes it all in.

Shooting at hail mary speeds here – 1/2 second without a tripod is hit or miss, but the opportunity to show the mirror ball streaks to too strong to pass up.

Jennifer gets props for putting together all the decorations and flowers for her own wedding – even grew the plants that were used as table center pieces!
