Shove Chapel Wedding Photography, Colorado Springs

Rehearsal Dinner

The night before had finally come and Amy and Kent, including family were in full swing…an incredible Mexican fiesta at their home had everyone primed. Being from Texas, we consider ourselves connoisseurs of Mexican cuisine. Great food, great company and a great excuse to celebrate.

 

Preparation…Ceremony

Amy and Kent along with their families were ready for the day. Margaux and I arrived early as usual to get some timeless shots of Amy as well as her youngest son along with the girls & guys. Shove Chapel in Colorado Springs has phenomenal lighting that with our techniques create a very warm ambience.

Briarhurst Manor Reception

Once we arrived at the Briarhurst, the mood was set for fun and excitement. These were interactive people with lots of emotion, a photographers dream…especially when we become like family. Lot’s of children with compelling personalities so we styled some shots and let them express their individuality. What a trip! Amy and Kent expressed theirs as well, romantically.

Cayla & GiGi’s Fairy Tale Bridal Portrait

Cayla’s Bridal Portrait Photography Session is at Glen Erie Castle in Colorado Springs, expressed a very Cinderella like atmosphere. The castle reflects the chivalry of Medieval times, an added touch of romance. She brought her Yorkshire Terrier, GiGi, who tried to steal the show. We brought out Cayla’s playful personality which set the mood.

Our entourage included a stylist, a videographer, Margaux and myself. We captured so many different looks with her from coy to whimsical, to elegant and alluring, using our fashion photojournalistic style of photography along with classic poses.

There were so many backgrounds to work with, the castle, overhanging cliffs, gardens, trees and mountains in the distance…. it was magical. The Bridal Portrait Session is a Bride’s opportunity to get the most beautiful photography imaginable for herself when she is literally glowing in the excitement of this time in her life.

Margaux began a photo oil painting of one of Cayla’s images and is in the process of using some dramatic effects to accentuate the enchantment of her Bridal Portrait adventure.

Deanna

Deanna wanted to do her Senior Portrait outside while it was still fairly cold and the leaves were not on the trees quite yet.
She also had this thing about having railroad tracks in her pictures.


We don’t know what Deanna’s fascination with tracks is, but with looks like hers she could stop a train, that is for sure!

You’d never know by looking at Deanne that she was braving the cold and wind….She knew what she wanted and we think that was the only thing that was on her mind at the time.She was very focussed.
