I feel extremely honored when a bridal couple chooses me to be their photographer without actually meeting me first. For Anna & Jon, it was not an option for they lived overseas and would not be in the states until a couple of weeks before the wedding. Although, I try to get to know the bridal couple over the phone, it’s never the same as when you meet them in person. Nonetheless, it is always an exciting moment to meet them for the first time on their wedding day!
On July 4, 2009, I arrived at the The Chapel at Red Rocks with much anticipation. I walked downstairs to the bridal suite to find Anna. As I entered the room, I was pleasantly surprised by the calm demeanor by everyone in the room. As I looked over, Anna greeted me with a big warm smile and I knew this was going to be a great day!
Anna & John had decided to see each other before the ceremony for the first look. It is always a special moment and one of my favorites to photograph. After the ceremony, we bounced around the Chapel taking pictures of just the 2 of them before heading to The Golden Hotel for the reception. Before entering the reception hall to greet their guest, we were able to get some amazing shots along Clear Creek in downtown Golden.
I just love it when a bridal couple gives me enough time to photograph their first moments together as a married couple. Best Wishes to Anna & John.
A special thanks to Susan Forkos for 2nd shooting with me and the lovely Kathy with The Chapel at Red Rocks.
