Wedding ~ Jenny & Jonny

Jennifer and Jonathon were married at one of my favorite locations to do photography: Denver Botanic Gardens... It may be one of my favorite locations, but it also one of the more challenging locations to do video & photography for a wedding... the location is open to the public while any event is going on and it can hold multiple events at one time. The day of their wedding there were 4 weddings! The challenging part of this is that you may have to compete with other brides and not to mention regular clientele for prime spots to take portraits at as well as worry about keeping an eye on all of your equipment! But all went well... I hired an additional assistant named Chris who did a wonderful job of watching and moving gear as well as was able to take some of his own photos... so basically this couple got 2 photographers for the price of one on this event! The overcast day made for some wonderful lighting for the photos and the rain stayed away just until they were exiting! Whew! And did I mention their wedding planner? If not she gets a million recommendations from us! Cheryl Lynn Foster-Gerton owns An Essential Event and she was worth every penny this couple spent! I saw her running to and from the ceremony and reception site at least 5 times that day (and it was quite a distance between the two!), she organized the entire timeline for the couple as well as designed centerpieces and coordinated with the catering staff which was Catering By Design! Also always awesome and now the premier vendor for receptions at the Botanic Gardens. My husband, Mike from Digital DJ also loved working with her!

Graduation - Eagle Ridge Academy & Highland's Dance Spring Recital

So our first year covering Eagle Ridge Academy's graduation was today... it was there first year of existence as well! There had been previous schools in the same location with different names... sounds like they went through some tormenting years before that, so glad to see a class come out on top! It was a wonderful event.. their commencement speaker was even Senator, Ed Perlmutter! So all in all a great event! As of May 31st all pre-orders from this event have been shipped so keep an eye out in the mail for those.

After the graduation we had to hurry to The Oriental Theater and set up for Highland's Dance Spring Recital... Another wonderful event! I always love the music that the teachers pick for this dance school! And as of June 4th all of the completed videos for this event have been dropped at the studio so please see Whitney for your pre-ordered copy!
