Ellie and Jodi – Married!

Ellie and Jodi will always have a special place in our hearts as they were our very first official Colorado clients.  We shot their engagement photos last October and were so excited when they decided to book us for their September wedding this year.

In a sense, they took a chance our business when we were just getting off the ground and we will forever be grateful for the opportunities they sent our way.

When we met with them over the summer we learned that they were expecting a baby in February, so this wedding was made extra special by the growing presence of Mini Wini.

We met up with the happy couple at a hotel in Boulder where they were getting ready separately, then traveled to Chautauqua Park for the first look and portraits.  Finally we headed to the Congregation Har HaShem for the ceremony and reception.  This was our first Jewish wedding, so we had lots to learn, but the energy was so amazing that we caught ourselves singing and dancing along with the guests on more than one occasion.  Heather was humming Hava Nagila for days after.

Ellie, Jodi, and Mini Wini it was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day.  We wish you years of joy together! Mazel Tov!

Just reopened after the horrible Colorado floods, we were lucky to be able to do our first look at Chautauqua Park.
Boy was it gorgeous!  These are some of our favorite couple’s portraits so far!
Amazing shot captured by Heather.  This is part of why we love Colorado.
After the couple’s portraits and the signing of the Ketubah, the ceremony started at Congregation Har HaShem.
Kristina and her friend Beth made the Chuppa.
Married!
Kristina and Jodi made the table decorations themselves.
After much group celebrating, it was finally time for the first dance.
And some ‘other’ dancing :)
One of my favorite first dance shots ever, captured by Heather.  That’s Jodi’s dad looking on in the background.
