I love Dave and Amanda!!! When a couple is so expressive, emotional, in love, and fun like Amanda and Dave the pictures take themselves! 🙂 The day began in the bridal suite of the new Hampton Inn Suites in Littleton, Colorado. While the girls and Amanda were getting ready, I started in on the details:
The flower girl was so shy at first…but when I asked if she would help hold the rings for a picture and then showed her the result on the back of the camera she became so happy and involved, it was so cool!
That image of Amanda on the far right was when she stepped out on the balcony by herself to practice her vows… It may have been better a better picture to see the actual piece of paper she was reading, but with her alone on the balcony, I still love the moment!
Below just might be my favorite bridal portrait of the summer so far!
Then we took off to the Arrowhead Golf Course next to Roxborough Park and Waterton Canyon…it is GORGEOUS!!
After a few quick wedding party images, the ceremony started overlooking the red rocks, golf course and mountains. It was a quick ceremony, but the vows that each read were powerful!
The sun was setting during the family portraits, but Arrowhead had a staff member and golf cart waiting to rush us off to this amazing tee to get this shot just before dark:
The reception was under a tent near the reception site. It was beautifully lit and was full of neat moments. I always love the first dances, but one unforgettable moment was when the song ‘Forever and Ever, Amen’ was sung as a suprise to the bride and groom! It was fantastic!!!
Both sides of the family are so wonderful, and the guests were very friendly…what an AWESOME wedding!!! Congratulations to Amanda and Dave, I wish you both nothing but the best!!
