If you know my style at all, than you probably know that “trashing the dress” isn’t really my thing. I focus on capturing emotion and genuine moments rather than trying to turn something that is a sacred and momentous into something that should be an advertisement for perfume. That being said, when on the actual day of their wedding, a bride and groom should be super stars and really know how to glam it up, while still authentically living out their wedding day in love, I’m tickled pink! That’s an alignment of many perfect stars! In that world, you have both the emotion of the day, the glamor of everything a bride should be, and the love for a “good time”. This sums up Andrea and Duane’s wedding…. Andrea is a gorgeous rock star who would be any photographers dream with her ability to be herself in front of the camera. And Duane’s total adoration and awe at Andrea’s beauty, is a thing I run across less that I’d like to. These two love each and also have a undying passion for art and beauty. This post–which may look like a “trash the dress”, was nothing of the sort, but was simply the way Andrea and Duane chose to celebrate part of their day—at Lime in Larimer square and all around the parts.

….And did I mention that Andrea is a photographer? Her wedding photographer was a very important decision for her, I feel very honored to have been the one chosen to capture this day.

This shot is purely PJ. Andrea took a horse and carriage over to Lime where they held the celebrations of the day. I got this shot as she was getting into the carriage. Isn’t she fabulous?!

Priceless expression from Duane, as Andrea rounded the corner and started descending the stairs…


Check it out, y’all…. Andrea gave me the honorary Nikon table! I was quite flattered, and my camera appreciated the shout out to Nikon.

I really hope Andrea puts this image on her website! I love it when the bride is also “the photographer”.

…and of course the day wasn’t just glamor—there was plenty of tenderness too. I could never tire of these kind of shots.
