Small Wedding Inspiration at the St Julien Hotel in Boulder, CO

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!
