There are many things that I love being a wedding photographer in Boulder Colorado. And one of them is that I see a wide variety of nontraditional weddings. Erin and Duncan are new to Colorado, but they bring a free spirited San Fransisco flair that fits right in. In his speach Duncan told the tale of the intensive process of obtaining authentic Scottish garments from the region of his ancestors. I think the effort was well worth it.
The wedding ceremony and reception were both held at the Greenbriar Inn in Boulder, Colorado. I have shot here a few times in the past, but this was the first winter wedding, so we had to have the ceremony inside. First we shot some nice bridal portraits and detail shots in the upstairs dining room to show off Erin’s epic dress.
She didn’t have a big train, but a wide angle lens can make that dress look like it went on for miles.
Here are some highlights of a few photojournalist captures during the ceremony.
When it came time to set up the formals, I asked the Father of the Bride to pose for me while I took some test shots. Nice work!
After persevering through 20 minutes of outdoor formals on an overcast and cold winter day, Erin toughed it out for some couples portraits in the field. I edited this wedding with some vintage tones, which I feel are appropriate for the time of year.
Erin really liked the jumping shot that I did in this same location last year. Well, these guys weren’t blessed with the vertical leap of Matt and his triathlete and Marine buddies. So we added a little humorous twist!
That is all from this mild mannered photographer for another blog post. I have February off from weddings, so look for some portrait and engagement shoots to be posted here over the next month until the weddings return in March. Thanks for reading.
A special thanks goes out to my affiliate vendors at this wedding!
