Kicking off the 2013 Wedding Season

Saint Patrick's day always seems to be a fun time for me.  It seems to signal a time when spring is... um springing.  Daylight saving time has started; days are getting longer, and summer is just around the corner.  Green is everywhere, and if you're not careful, you'll get pinched.  Also it gives me an excuse to buy a 12 pack of Guinness and a nice bottle of Jameson!  Yum!

It's a time when things are starting to grow and wouldn't you know, it'd be the perfect day to get married!  That's what Scott and Joyce thought anyway, and their wedding became my first shoot for 2013!

When they booked me, Scott expressed an interest in my ability to capture snowflakes falling during the ceremony.  There would be no snow on this St Paddy's day.  The day was sunny, but breezy and cool. Scott and Joyce got married in Lafayette.  The Dove House at Lionsgate Event Center was fantastic!  I would shoot there again, in a heartbeat.

They were one of the nicest couples, and I wish them a lifetime of happiness!

Fall has to be one of my favorite times of the year.  Sunshine abounds with beautiful, deep blue Colorado skies.  The nights are cooler and perfect for sleeping.  Kids are back in school (woo hoo!).  Leaves crunch underfoot, and pumpkins adorn entryways and paths everywhere.  It reminds me that football season is in full swing, and my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, is just around the corner.

So, it stands to reason that I love shooting fall weddings!

I had the privilege of shooting Kelly and Dan's wedding last weekend in Laporte,  just north of Fort Collins.  They chose the historic Victorian Tapestry House as their venue.  I have never shot there, but I quickly found that the photo opportunities are endless.  This has to be one of the most beautiful places to get married in northern Colorado!

It was a morning wedding, and the weather forecast called for clouds and a chance of rain.  We lucked out, because by the time the rain came, the ceremony and outside photos were finished and everyone had moved inside for reception.  I hope to shoot at Tapestry House again.

My heartfelt congratulations and best wishes go out to Kelly and Dan!
