A Flawless, Colorful, Micro Wedding in Rocky Mountain National Park
Keri & Mitch booked their ceremony for a Wednesday afternoon in October at one of Rocky’s handful of designated ceremony cites: the beautiful and accessible Sprague Lake.
Pro tip if you're planning your own wedding, Rocky Mountain National Park absolutely does not allow any kind of wedding ceremony, no matter how small, unless it’s in one of their designated ceremony cites. It’s important to snag your wedding date as early as possible. Only 6 weddings per day are allowed in the entire park, and applications are accepted up to a year in advance.
Colorado Wedding Weekend in the Mountains near Denver
If there’s one thing that inspires me in wedding photography, it’s a dramatic landscape. It makes sense—I became a photographer when I lived in Colorado. Even though I lived there for 13 years, I’d still drive out of my way to catch a glimpse of a mountain I’d seen a hundred times before, and I’d still audibly gasp when I drove west out of Denver on I-70 and saw the first really GOOD Mountain View at exit 254.
Smoky Mountains Wedding on a Rainy Day
Morgan and Austin are from the Houston area, but knew they wanted to get married somewhere in the mountains. They were initially looking at a place in Montana, but somehow found the Magnolia Venue in Pigeon Forge and knew that this was the place. I can’t believe how much Morgan’s blues and greens in her decor compliment the colors of the landscape. While the rain certainly made parts of the day a little inconvenient, the soft light on the mountains certainly contributed to the day being as beautiful as it was.
From Texas to Prague, CZ | Part 2
When you’re getting married in a scenic destination, your photos need to be iconic.
In a busy city with a lot of tourists, like Prague, one of the biggest impediments to a great photo of a landmark, or an epic view, is the crowds. A crowd of people in the background of your photo is not just distracting, but it can also prevent us from seeing and taking the most dramatic or interesting or visually detailed photo possible. When we’re there in person, our brain sort of automatically edits the crowd out, so we can see the entirety of the view and understand the space. In photos, it’s much more important to capture the pristine view, so we have to be strategic.
