Kristie & Bob- Snowy Wedding in Evergreen, Colorado

One of the last thing I expected to do this past weekend was photograph a wedding! Just last week I was at WPPI convention (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) in Las Vegas. It's not the first time I've mentioned the convention because I try to go every year. But when I came back, I had a message from someone here in Evergreen. Pam told me that her brother was getting married and the event had gone from a justice of the peace performing a quick ceremony to a small celebration at the very last minute and they needed a photographer! So on Friday, I booked a wedding for the following Sunday!

I am so glad that they asked me to be a part of their celebration. Kristie & Bill were married in a church here in Evergreen and then, together with close family and friends, they celebrated with a little cake and champagne at Bob's sister's home here in town. Two days before, Kristie didn't even have a dress! She bought it and had it altered the same day, and she looked amazing!! For picking it out at the last minute, she did awfully well! She looked like a million bucks!

We had a little time before the ceremony began and I learned that the stained glass here is actually left over from the building of the Airforce Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs.

I was absolutely ecstatic that they were willing to venture out in the snow with me for a couple of minutes as well and they were VERY good sports in enduring the cold temps and falling snow, but I am in love with the images.

A big huge thanks to Kristie & Bob for allowing me to be a part of their intimate day with their friends and family. And thanks to Pam, Bob's sister, for thinking of me and bringing me into your home! It was absolutely my pleasure to share a piece of your day with you.

I love the snowy photos! I'm sure it was freezing, but the bride and groom look like they just stepped into a fairytale.
