Ben and Eileen’s elopement and wedding celebration in Boulder - Photographed with/for Eleanor at Be Boulder Photography
I spent the afternoon with Samantha, her bridesmaids, flower girl and mother in their hotel room while everyone had their hair/make-up done. They were all so laid back, but excited at the same time! We made our way to Navy Pier in a limo to get to the Odyssey for the ceremony where Samantha hid in the bathroom of the boat while she waited for Daniel to arrive without seeing her. All the interactions I witnessed at this wonderful event were so kind and loving and I was happy to be a part of their day.
Today was a busy day with lots of amazing places for wedding pictures. We started out at the Residence Inn for getting ready images, then met Brandon in the lobby for the first look. Brandon and Katie are the kind of couple that look at each other with the most genuine expressions all day, so this moment was very special. Next, we drove to the LaSalle bridge and the gardens at the Art Institute for more photos. The reception hall is very unique and full of lots of different kinds of art, sculptures, neon signs and architecture. The arch for the ceremony was made out of old picture frame corners! It was a challenge to photograph the ceremony and reception at this venue, but totally worth it for the unique images. Katie, Brandon and their bridal party were so kind and very easy to work with.
Eden and Mike had been dating for about 12 years and have known each other since high school. They are finally husband and wife! Eden and Mike are such kind people with so much love for their friends and family. I saw so many hugs and heard words of love exchanged constantly throughout the day. Eden’s sister Cheyenne told her she loved Eden almost every time she saw her that day! This wedding was very focused on the guests and truly making the day a celebration with everyone that Eden and Mike are closest to. I felt very welcomed by both their friends and family while we spent the day together eating dinner, dancing and celebrating. I loved being a part of their day.
