Confession of a Wedding Crasher

I have a confession to make: I crashed a wedding and loved every minute of it! The wedding took place about an hour outside of Denver while I was on “vacation”. I had intended on reading, sleeping and doing all those things that I never seem to have enough time to do…..so what do I end up doing? Photographing a wedding! While complete strangers to me, the bride Sarah, is the daughter of good friends of a good buddy of mine, Mary Lou. She had been invited, I had not, but I had my camera and it sounded like fun, so what the heck:) It was amazing! Sarah and Buck were married on a meadow surrounded by pine trees and fresh mountain air. Each had written vows for one another that were so beautiful and touching that there was not a dry eye in the house (meadow!). These photos are a brief glimpse of a truly blessed day.

Buck reads his vows to his beautiful bride whom he promises to love forever……sigh.

This little furry guy started to growl at me so I took a quick photo and went on my way. Down boy!

Armed with roses representing their love for one another, Sarah and Buck are introduced as husband and wife for the first time.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

Sarah’s parents, Dawn and Dave, share a moment of serenity after the ceremony.

This is my wacky friend Mary Lou and her long time friends Dawn and Dave. These beautiful people were kind enough to not only host a truly magical wedding but were also generous enough to invite us to stay for a couple of days with them. Fortunately for me, they really liked their photos:)

This is the view of the golf course across from the reception……kinda takes your breath away, huh?

One of the youngest guest and her daddy came out to see the elk on the golf course.

This is Elsa who according to her mother Edye has never met a camera that she didn’t like–I can see why!

The lovely Sarah is an accomplished horsewoman.

Elsa and I spent time shooting around the outside of the reception hall. She is a great little model and was a lot of fun to hang out with too:)

She’s a natural!

Me and my new best friend!
