Dana and Brian

The Broadmoor provided the backdrop for Dana and Brian's beautiful fall wedding. Not only were Dana and Brian a great couple to work with, but their family and friends were a lot of fun to be around. They had a full weekend with their rehearsal dinner at the Cheyenne Lodge on Friday evening kicking things off. Western attire was abundantly on display that evening.

When Krista and I arrived at the Broadmoor on Saturday, we were greeted by a four legged welcoming committee!

One of my favorite photographs from the day. Here shoes were not cooperating.

No pictures were allowed to be taken during the ceremony, so I snapped this one and only after they made their way down the aisle.
Faye Gardenswartz coordinated everything to perfection. And hats off to Dever Design Works for the great decor and the staff at the Broadmoor making sure Krista and I were well taken care of.
As I have stated on previous blog posts, I love Jewish weddings! They know how to put on a party!
Check out Dana's expression!
A kiss from mom.
Ending the great celebration with a couple of quick ones outside.
A brunch followed on Sunday, and then they were off to Thailand on Monday morning.

Betsy and Tim

A perfect October evening was the backdrop for Betsy and Tim's wedding. The early evening ceremony was at the pavilion in Cheeseman Park with the reception at the Museum of Contemporary Art. It was the first wedding reception ever held at the MCA, and I was really looking forward to it. When Betsy described her fishnet veil and sleek gown, I knew Krista and I would have the opportunity for some excellent images. Betsy and Tim also requested that most of the images be in classic black & white. No problem there, as my background is in fine art b&w photography. Oh, those were the days! Here are a few of the pictures:

Krista caught this while I was working from the front. Gotta love that fisheye!

Design Works did their usual outstanding job with the decor. Walli Richardson handled the day-of coordinating, and Three Tomatoes handled the cuisine.
This will make the list of one of my favorite images from this year. I love the simplicity.
Kevin and Wendy, whose wedding I photographed last year. A big thank you to Wendy, who recommended me to Betsy.
