Proposal Photos ~ Peter & Kashia

Completed my first surprise engagement proposal for Ben Bridge Jewelers new Free Engagement session with purchase program! It was a lot of fun... I felt like a spy! Peter, the groom to-be contacted me only a day before the proposal so luckily I was available to cover it! I traveled up to Empire, CO to a lovely little restaurant called The Peck House, which incidentally the menu looked wonderful I shall have to return with hubby in tow! The couple actually met there when Kashia used to work there! Great idea for the proposal! Anyways, it was a slow night so there was only one other couple in the restaurant and I was a little worried about being spotted... I picked a spot at the bar so I could see them, but be far enough away. Peter, the groom to be excused himself after their appetizer to use the restroom and on his way back... whispered "Ok, Ready to do this" so I grabbed my camera out of my large purse concealing it and as soon as he was down on bended knee I was shooting away! And Kashia was so engrossed in the proposal she never even noticed me until Peter pointed me out! We took a few more picks with a flash due to the low lighting of the room and I suggested a photo outside the restaurant that still had it's holiday lights on and in the snow that was coming down... Wonderful! A fun time for me as well as the couple! Congrats you two!

Wedding ~ Leigh & Tim

Just finished a lovely Winter wedding held at Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Leigh & Tim were again another couple planning their dream wedding from out of town. Leigh grew up here, but attended college out of state where she met Tim... rumor from their wedding guests was that they met at a "Swing Dance" lesson! which explains why they wanted lessons for their guests at the wedding reception held at Maggiano's in the Denver Tech Center.
The church they were married in had a lot of beautiful picturesque locations for photos and beautiful lighting on the stage which is great when you have to take photos without a flash to keep from disturbing the ceremony. The couple also chose to have their ceremony on a Monday morning with a small intimate number of guests invited, which probably saved them a lot of money with vendors... me included! I'm always up for discounts when covering a non-peak season weekday wedding... so if you are planning one it never hurts to ask us if we can fit your budget! Great couple, and loads of fun! Here's to you both!
