I am never more flattered than when other photographers choose us to photograph their weddings, and Nikki\u2019s dad, Jay, has been a full-time professional wedding photographer for over 20 years and wanted nothing more than for her to have the type of beautiful photos he has dedicated so much of his life to providing to others.<\/p>\n

Nikki and Bill were a great fit for our style of photojournalistic photography. They were among some of the most laid back couples we\u2019ve had the privilege to work with, and their adorable son Henry had us burning through memory cards like they were going out of style.<\/p>\n

The wedding took place at YMCA of the Rockies, near Winter Park, Colorado, and I just loved their casual outdoor setup. Sean and I photographed the couple getting ready at the cabins on site.<\/p>\n

They let their individuality shine through at the ceremony, when they opted to make their grandmothers flower girls, and read vows that talked about not having the heart to eat each other during a zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n

Is there a such thing as too many good bride and groom portraits? We sure hope not.<\/p>\n

The reception was catered by Basic Kneads, a company that makes specialty pizza pies on site. Their staff was extremely pleasant and even let our bride toss some dough around! Nikki had some Voodoo doughnuts brought in and I was laughing to myself as they beheaded the bride doughnut during the \u201ccake cutting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nikki, Bill, and Jay: Thank you all for entrusting us with your once-in-a-lifetime memories. As a parent, I can only imagine the amount of trust it took for Jay to leave his camera at home, and for Nikki whose surely spent a lifetime looking at other people\u2019s wedding photos to actually choose someone to take her own. I hope these images bring a smile to everyone\u2019s faces!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
