Rebecca, Sheldon and Miyagi- the cutest trio on their wedding day. The Saint Julien in Boulder is a great hotel to host guests, a ceremony and dinner. Rebecca and Sheldon had their closest friends getting ready and relaxing with them in their suites before the ceremony.

An important part of a wedding day is having extra time for detail photos and additional special moments- like Miyagi adding his paw print to their marriage license! Rebecca and Sheldon had so many people show up for them to celebrate, so it was a busy day, but the time we built in for getting ready photos, details of cards and memorable events was worth the planning. Often times, couples will say they love the little moments like these the most out of all their photos. For Rebecca and Sheldon, they didn’t want much posing or photos of the two of them, so the unposed, spur or the moment photos were essential. Being able to distinguish what’s important for your day is what matters. Some people want all the attention on their interactions with guests, some have a choreographed first dance that is most important for them to have photos. And some want a mix of candids and posed photos with no specifics! Having information about different priorities from other couples can be helpful, but there’s no right or wrong way to make the day special!

This wedding day was perfect. We honestly has no idea if an October wedding in Denver would mean it would be snowing. Luckily, no snow, but we did get a pretty intense downpour 20 minutes or so after I arrived. We had enough time to get some photos of these two on their bikes before the rain came, then afterwards, an amazing double rainbow appeared and this couple was so happy about “how perfectly gay this is!!” I loved seeing all of their family members who loved them the most to be there to support their self solemnization in Denver.

This wedding was so emotional for good reason! What an amazing city we live in where love can be seen as love no matter who it it is. I was so happy that these two chose me to witness and document their special day.
