Since meeting Esther and Jeff a year or so ago, there are a few things I’ve really grown to admire about them. First off is their communication with one another — the love and mutual respect they show for one another when they are together. Secondly, and more importantly in my opinion, is their faith. I loved that their ceremony was very personal, including their officiant who had known them both since they were 16 — and knew their faith in God. Furthermore, they incorporated their love for God throughout their wedding with multiple prayers with their mentors and friends. When I left them that evening, I knew they were starting out their marriage on the right foot by having God at the center of it and nothing makes me happier than to see that with the couples I photograph. They were married at Hudson Gardens and Event Center in Denver and during their ceremony, we had dark, ominous clouds looming overhead only to clear up and provide incredible lighting for their photos after the ceremony.Yay! Praying with the bridal party moments before the ceremony. Giving his daughter away. It’s tough to be a flower girl. 😉 And they’re married! […]
We’re shooting weddings this summer and fall for some incredibly fun couples and Amy and Sam are no exception. They are getting married in Denver this October and wanted to do their engagement shoot around downtown Denver. We had to cancel the first time due to crazy lightening storms so we opted for a morning/afternoon shoot this time around to miss the afternoon storms. It worked well, except it was HOT! Amy and Sam were such troopers and Samantha and I had such a blast taking their photos. At one point, Samantha, Amy and Sam all jumped in the fountain to cool off and we continued the shoot there. Kudos to Samantha for taking such awesome photos — she had her first baby 3 weeks prior to this shoot and did great. I was 22 weeks pregnant at the time, so I imagine we looked a little silly but I think the result turned out wonderfully. We work well under pressure and crazy circumstances. 😉 Looking forward to seeing you both again in October! Megan and Samantha
