Azucena + Masaru | Arrowhead Golf Course Wedding Photos

Some weddings the tears don’t stop coming. They are those golden tears of joy. They started as soon as I got there, and I will tell you, it wasn’t just Mas and Azucena. I was already balling too. Mas and Azucena put so much intention into their wedding. I mean, really, they put so much intention to their relationship. The first thing Azucena told me when I arrived was the number of days they had been together. They had been counting it from the beginning because they knew. Somehow, they were “oddly perfect.” As they like to say.

I appreciate and love this sentiment. I do think, however, they are “perfectly perfect”. Everything about them makes me smile. I remember when I first met them and the way that Mas looked at Azucena, just when she was talking to me answering some question. He looked at her with intent, listening to everything she had to say and really internalizing it. It struck me. They are so good together because of this intent.

As I said, I could see it throughout their whole wedding day as well. From the gifts, they picked out for each other and the jewelry that Azucena wore to the blending of their families and cultures, and spectacular moments like the fireworks when they first kissed. Every detail was planned, thought through with meticulous detail and decided upon because they knew it would represent their relationship. It totally paid off. They had a wonderful day! With all the perfection that I see when I look at them and all the “oddly perfect” details like the sun shining while it dripped random raindrops. It could not have been a better day. Ryan and I were so very happy to be a part of it!

Congratulations Mas and Azucena! Here’s to years and years of “oddly perfect”!

Viki + Lee | St Michaels Church Penkridge + The Chase Cannock

Christmas Wedding at The Chase Cannock

When you've had the opportunity to get to know a family over a few years, it makes a wedding that bit more special to share and to capture! Since John + Kate's Moat House Wedding in 2010, the whole family have become friends of mine and Beki's - whether it's been supporting The Hibbs Lupus Trust, or Beki using Viki's salon - they're such a beautiful group of people and I couldn't wait to capture the wedding!!

Viki + Lee's day didn't rush in arriving however, they planned well in advance which allowed them to have the exact day they wanted! And what a day it was!!

Blessed with beautiful winter weather just two days before Christmas, the theme of the day was carried off to perfection - and the tequila shots went down a storm, and certainly got the party started.

I have to say though, it's the first time I've had a bride and groom leave their wedding guests and go to the pub...what an ace idea!!

Here's a look at the story of their Penkridge Christmas Wedding.

With Kaytee on hair duty and Helen Pearson on makeup duty, the ladies were all looking absolutely stunning. There was such a buzz of excitement around the house all morning, and it was great to capture the little touches that meant so much - from the glass for Lee's mom, to the decorations on the Christmas tree - sometimes it's the little bits as part o the narrative that mean so much!

Cannock Wedding Photographer

With hair and makeup complete, there was only one thing left to do - get into that beautiful gown from Wedding Belles of Stone!

I always love capturing the juxtaposition of the Father of the Bride at the bridal house ahead of the grand reveal - here Steve is just sitting back with a glass of prosecco and giving the speech the final once over. A man rarely to show his emotions, but I knew this day meant a lot!!

Christmas Wedding at Penkridge Church

Leaving the ladies to the final preparations is was down to St Michael's Church in Penkridge to see how Lee's nerves were holding up!

Having arrived in fabulous style in the Mustang arranged by Viki as a surprise, the boys looked great in their suits from Dapper Dan in Cannock.

I loved Lee's idea too - straight into the Littleton Arms for a drink, brilliant!!

Winter Wedding Photographs at Penkridge Church

There is no better company in the area for wedding transport than Platinum Cars, and with the personal service from Paul and John the girls arrived in wonderful fashion ready for the ceremony.

With the sun coming out and sparkling off the ladies stunning gowns, it was time for the arrival of our beautiful bride! Viki looked absolutely incredible in her gown, and I just knew Lee would be blown away when he saw her!

Wedding Photographs at St Michaels Church

St Michael's church is such a fabulous setting, and thankfully always full of beautiful light! The ceremony actually also had a really special connection for Viki and Lee too - as they know the vicar really well. They all play hockey for a local team!! Awesome!!

Signed, sealed and delivered, it was time to lead the guests outside and get the celebrations started!

This has to be one of my favourite moments to capture - and I remember being slightly shocked when we had our final meeting: Viki and Lee walked off and left their guests getting into their cars at the church, and headed into the pub for a quiet drink! What a way to toast the new chapter ahead for the couple! Just awesome!

Wedding Photographs at The Chase

After the short journey and a few minutes with the guests, it was time to steal a few minutes with the couple to make the most of the beautiful weather.

Blessed with some of the best weather I've enjoyed in December, it was great to capture some of these natural portraits with our beautiful couple!

Chase Wedding Photographer Stuart James

I have long loved winter weddings - there's always that chance that the weather will be against you, but when it's on your side...wow!! Just incredible! This lighting was some of the nicest I had all year!!

Christmas Wedding at The Chase - Wedding Reception in the Atrium

The Atrium at The Chase is such a fabulous space, and it really comes to life with the lights! (The first wedding with the lights on the ceiling I actually photographed a few years ago - take a look! Viki + Lee brought their theme together perfectly, and with the winter theme carried throughout, interspersed with Budapest - the setting for the engagement - it really looked stunning!

With the guests all seated, and the first shots downed, it was time for one of my favourite parts of the wedding - the speeches!

It's safe to say Lee suffered throughout - amazing!!

Creative Natural Wedding Photography

With the formalities done, it was time to kick back, relax and enjoy the reception. With the guests embracing the party from the off, it was such a great evening to capture. Especially when the hockey crowd brought out an impromptu game of beer pong!!

Krispy Kremes FTW - What a fantastic wedding 'cake'!

Wedding Reception at The Chase

I loved Viki + Lee's choice of early entertainment to get the party started! Britpop United were brilliant and really got the crowd going - highly recommended!

Cannock Wedding Photographers

With the bouquet tossed, and the DJ ready to open the dancefloor for the first dance, it was alas time for the conclusion of my coverage, but what a wedding!

Viki + Lee it was an honour to share your day - I loved every second!

RSVP 'maybe'? Coronavirus puts wedding industry on edge

RSVP 'maybe'? Coronavirus puts wedding industry on edge

NEW YORK — Guests are jittery, travel is tangled, and soon-to-be brides and grooms are facing tough choices because of the coronavirus outbreak: postpone, cancel or forge ahead with their weddings?

Uncertainty as virus cases grow in the U.S. and elsewhere has sent ripples through the wedding industry, from photographers and caterers to harried wedding planners and venues.

“So much extra stress,” said 26-year-old bride Hayley Pass in Saddle Brook, New Jersey. “After all this planning it’s like, really, we’re going to postpone? We just really want it to happen but it seems like the worst is yet to come.”

She and her fiance had 155 confirmed guests for their March 22 nuptials in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, with a handful of cancellations due to virus fear. One relative made it clear that she and her family will attend but would keep hugging and kissing to a minimum.

The couple will only cancel the wedding if their venue — or their closest loved ones — pull out. They would head to the courthouse instead to get hitched, putting off their party until COVID-19 subsides. Other couples expressed similar resolve to keep their wedding dates as the industry heads into the busy June season.

Rescheduling or cancelling raises a world of questions. What are the odds that vendors will all be available on the same new date and time? Will couples lose money, in deposits and beyond already paid? Standard wedding insurance doesn’t cover anxiety over a spreading virus that has come with restrictions on travel and large gatherings in spots around the world. Some insurance companies are fielding a barrage of queries over how policies work in such a unique situation.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover.

In the wedding world, vendors are feeling the pinch.

Professional planners who have longstanding relationships with suppliers have found themselves negotiating new minimum guest counts to help save their clients money as friends and family decline. Travel agents said they’re trying to reroute honeymoon flights to avoid popular destinations in Asia and Europe that have been restricted or closed, such as Lake Como in Italy’s hard-hit Lombardy region.

“We’re trying to guess what is to come,” said Sasha Souza, a wedding planner in California’s wine country. “Guest counts are dropping dramatically. We have a wedding for 150 people in June and we’re now looking at 50 people. Guests are just like, ‘I’m not coming.’ Maybe they’ll change their minds. People are receiving such mixed messages right now.”

Gabrielle Wheeler, 22, was supposed to get married in April in the olive groves of an Italian villa in the Tuscan town of Grosseto. She now has to settle for a wedding at the same place in a year. She tried to cancel when travel restrictions were imposed, but the venue wouldn’t refund her money.

“Honestly, I’m upset,” said Wheeler, who lives in Amsterdam. “I have to make the best of it.”

Abby Murray, a Charlotte, North Carolina, travel agent who specializes in honeymoons, said new business has come to a halt as existing clients postpone, shift destinations from hot spots like Italy to Hawaii, Costa Rica and the Caribbean, or try to navigate around connections through China.

At this time of year, she would usually be handling 20 clients. She now has two.

“People are scared to book their honeymoons right now. People don’t even want to explore it. They’re going to move forward with their weddings but take their honeymoons at a later date,” Murray said.

Dresses are also a problem for some.

The Green Bride shop in Littleton, Colorado, typically receives up to 60 wedding dresses shipped from China each month from February through May. In February, it received only four.

“We are on crunch time,” said Holly Marsh, one of the owners. “If the wedding is in June, and the dress is supposed to be here in February and it’s not going to get here until May, what do you tell them?”

David Gaffke, who owns the shop Complete Bridal in East Dundee, Illinois, relies heavily on China for manufacturing, as do most in the wedding gown business.

“It’s frustrating when it comes to having to tell a bride that we’re not able to fulfil your needs,” he said. “This is the most important dress they’re going to wear.”

Larger retailers, including David’s Bridal with more than 300 stores, said their supply networks are holding steady.

Photographer Michael Busada in Washington, D.C., relies on weddings for about half his business. He has 36 weddings under contract this year, including one that was recently cancelled after the bride was possibly exposed to the virus. Another wedding went from a large venue with 150 guests to a home ceremony with 20. A 10-hour day for Busada dropped to three hours of work.

Busada offered the couple who were forced to cancel a credit or postponement without penalty.

“Everybody’s struggling. It doesn’t do me any good to be the bad guy,” he said.

Leon Rbibo, president of The Pearl Source, an online jewelry company headquartered in Los Angeles, has been servicing the industry for more than 10 years.

He started seeing cancellations and requests for order delays in mid-January. It started with an uptick of about 5%, he said. Fast forward to late February, when such requests shot up to 15%. He projected March would end at closer to 17%, representing about $50,000 worth of business cancelled or postponed.

“We know these requests are related to concerns around the spread of coronavirus because our customer experience teams are trained to ask for the reason for cancellation or postponement,” Rbibo said.

At RentMyWedding.com, which provides everything from lighting to linens for thousands of couples across the U.S., orders for March have decreased by 24.3% compared with March 2019, said Marie Kubin, the founder and CEO in Miami.

“The majority of our clients place orders one to three weeks prior to their wedding,” she said. “The couples that are cancelling have said they plan to reschedule for the future, but they’re not going to choose a new date until they see how things shake out with the coronavirus. Many other couples with weddings happening in the next month are asking us to put their orders on hold because they’re not sure whether or not to go ahead with their weddings.”

Caterers are holding on with extra care.

Andrea Correale, president and founder of the Elegant Affairs catering and event firm in Manhattan, said she is doubling and tripling hand washing stations for workers, placing hand sanitizer in coat check and registration areas, and offering baskets of sanitizer on tables for guests.

She’s also creating more distance between guests at tables, so a round table that usually seats 10 is now set up for eight.

Large bottles and pitchers of juices and soda have become individual bottles, bartenders are wearing gloves and Correale has replaced communal bowls of bar snacks with individual bags, “so people can still graze and feel safe about it.”

Sarah + Mike | Arrowhead Golf Course Wedding Photos

Congratulations to Sarah and Mike! They got married on a beautiful summer day at Arrowhead Golf Course in Littleton, Colorado. This was one of those weddings that is a movie story. A sweet and beautiful girl meets a handsome and funny man in a quirky way and totally hit it off. They didn’t know it at first, but it was meant to be. Sarah and Mike met through mutual friends and their love story went through friendship and the thought of “what if” to romance and “i do”. It was so fun to hear their friends and family all tell stories about when they started dating and the little quirks in their relationship.

This is what makes love people. All the unique memories and happenings that add up to create one big l word. Sarah and Mike have it. I saw it when they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. It is pretty normal when you have a day packed full of stuff to enjoy your first look and then be ready for the next thing. I am pretty sure these two could have talked forever. As I watched them go through the day, they moved from that to joking and just talking about anything and everything. They were so excited to be together. They could have just spent all day in that moment. It was a sweet start to an amazing day.

We had a great time all day. From the sweet words that Sarah and her mom shared before the ceremony to the groomsmen chanting “quack, quack, quack” as loud as they could when we did the flying v, the moments were never dull. They weaved in their unique love and traditions, including their dog as the ring bearer. They also did the Hora and a traditional Bulgarian dance and got everyone all riled up.

I am so happy I was part of such a great day. Congratulations on a marriage that is going to be incredible!

Katelyn + Alec | The Barn at Raccoon Creek Wedding Photos

Katelyn and Alec, can we have your wedding every weekend? I don’t know if it is how sweet, real and fun your love is, how gorgeous the day was, how wonderful your friends and family are or just the fact that you guys are pretty much the best, but I want to do your wedding again and again. It started off with tons of laughing and non-stop fun. There was not a dull moment or time that felt uncelebrated. Where it really mattered, the ceremony was beautiful and full of personal sentiment and romance. Katelyn’s brother was the officiant and he killed it! You could really see the love he put into it. That is just how the whole day felt. Everyone was putting all of themselves into this celebration, this marriage.

I knew I liked Katelyn and Alec from the first time I met them. They are described by everyone as fun, loyal, sweet, kind, adventurous and full of life. Being around them makes you a little bit happier. After being at their wedding I can see all their personality traits come together with their families. This was one of those weddings where there wasn’t a bride’s side and a groom’s side but a party. Everyone was like they were family immediately. The dance floor was full and mixed up as people would switch partners and connect with each person. The room was loud, just how I like it, full of big conversations and laughs. It really spoke to Katelyn and Alec. To bring that many people together like that is something of a feat. It seems like for Katelyn and Alec it was obvious. There was no way these people were going to miss celebrating with them.

Congratulations to two amazing people who show us what love should look like and for sure laugh like.

Madi + Mike | Arrowhead Golf Course Wedding Photos

Madi and Mike are married! What a wonderful way to celebrate this great couple! After days of stormy clouds and rain, the sky opened up yet left Madison and Michael with a slightly cool and calm Colorado day. It was perfect as we started the day with their first look on top of the rocks overlooking all of Arrowhead Golf Course. Although I always worry that a bride won’t want to take the deer trail up there, once you get there the views are incredible. It is the perfect spot to exclaim their love.

Madi, is one of the chillest people and brides I have met. She was up for anything. She was just so excited to see Mike and marry him that she just wanted to soak in every minute and opportunity of it. Mike was just as giddy. As he stood there waiting on top of the rocks for her, he couldn’t stop smiling. As soon as he saw her the world melted away.

The day was so effortless. I think that really speaks to Madi and Mike and all the people they surround themselves with. First off, I have to get special props to the wedding party. They were fun and silly and respectful and sweet. They took the opportunities to make everyone laugh and also the moments to cry tears of joy. They had the perfect balance of excitement, joy and sentiment. Madi and Mike, are clearly the best versions of themselves when they are together. Already separately wonderful, intelligent, fun and sweet people, together they have a super power. They light up with they look at each other and that beam spreads to those around them. I continuously caught one or the other stealing glances at their partner with a look on their face that said “I can’t believe I am so lucky to be with you.”

I left the day rejuvenated and excited. I can’t wait to see what Madi and Mike’s lives look like as a married couple. For sure it is going to be as epic as those beautiful views at Arrowhead and as fun as the party that went off that night. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Vercelli!

Molly + Darin | The Barn at Raccoon Creek Wedding Photos

Molly and Darin had a gorgeous wedding last weekend at The Barn at Raccoon Creek in Littleton. Molly and the girls arrived right when we did and there was so much excitement and anticipation for the day. When I saw Molly’s dress for the first time my jaw dropped. It was truly stunning. I loved getting to see Molly and her daughters giddy and bubbly while getting their hair and makeup done. It rained a bit while everyone was getting ready but I have to admit it made the morning feel calm and cooled everything off.

The sky cleared up beautifully just before the ceremony. The rest of the day was perfect! It was so great to be a part of this wedding and seeing both Molly and Darin’s kids become one big family. They were all so happy and looked so great. I must say, these kids know how to dance too! I love the dancing photos we got that night! Finishing the night of photos with the ShutterBus was the perfect ending to a perfect day! Congratulations Molly and Darin! –Janae

Vivianne is one! | War Memorial Rose Gardens Family Photos

Vivianne is a big girl now. She is running around, dancing and riding unicorns! Yes, she is adorable, silly and full of life. She loves her big sister and follows much of what she does. We spent the afternoon in the War Memorial Rose Gardens. It was a beautiful day at a spot that is right in the middle of Littleton and I had no idea it was there. It is lovely, well maintained and full of all sorts of variations of roses. It was perfect for a family of gorgeous girls.

Kelsey is such a wonderful mom to these girls. She exhibits her beauty inside and out with how she talks to them, plays with them and holds them tight. The girls have George wrapped around their finger in the best way. He just lights up when he hangs out with them. Their love for their girls is so inviting and clearing creates an environment where they can be sweet and free. Vivianne was so much fun. I loved seeing her personality bloom. I can’t wait for her to see her grow more.

–Katie

I love her unicorn themed birthday outfit.

Beautiful family of four surrounded by roses.

Sisters.

Nichole + Erik | Spring Arrowhead Golf Course Wedding Photographer

Laughter and puppies.  That’s what I think back to when remembering Nichole and Erik’s Spring wedding at Arrowhead Golf Course in Littleton, CO.  Their orange, blue and grey wedding colors were a fresh burst of Spring color and looked great against the greens of the golf course.

Nichole had been worried all week because of the weather forecast.  She prepped with getting fancy umbrellas.  That ended up being a good insurance policy because we didn’t need them once!  The skies were even and beautiful which allowed Sheena and I to roam anywhere on the course without the limits of that pesky bright sun.  Though I’ve experienced the course many times over, it’s always fun seeing the course through my couples eyes for their first time.  Nichole and Erik were especially excited to tour the greens because they are excellent golfers.  Check out the fun they had golfing below!

Thanks Nichole and Erik for having me join your most awesome day! –Ryan

  How perfect are Nichole’s bridesmaids in their blue and orange floral print robes?!

Erik rocked a REAL bow tie. Perfect orange and blue plaid.

Four legged friends are the cutest addition to any wedding party.a

Colorado Wedding Photographer | Sheena

Describe yourself in five words:

Silly, loving, direct, spirited, kind

Hometown:

Littleton, CO

Passion:

Being the best dang mother, wife, and photographer I can be, raising 4 little humans is not an easy task. Oh and dancing in the kitchen, because what else is the kitchen for?

Community Involvement:

I volunteer on the women’s board at my church along with volunteering in the children’s department. I  also spend time volunteering at my children’s school, organizing the library is food for my OCD soul.

Favorite Vacations Spot:

This is a tough one because I LOVE to travel and I haven’t had a chance to visit some of my most wanted locations like Ireland or Iceland. Of the places I have been my most incredible vacation was the Atlantis resort at Nassau Islands. There is a lazy river that has a gigantic building in the center that transports you to the top where there are about 4 watersides. You basically sit on a tube and get carried away to the top and then dropped into the most exciting rides without ever having to climb tons of stairs. Yes, I felt very lazy but it was so amazing!

Perfect day off:

My perfect day off would be to be able to sleep in and have my kids sleep in, then we all wake up and go to the old fashioned pancake house, while it is snowing. Then we would go to the aquarium where we would look at the sharks and see if we can find the mermaids. Then when we drive back to the house get in our snow suits and play in the snow for a couple hours building snowmen and making snow angels. Once we get done we would go inside, turn on the fireplace, drink hot cocoa and watch a movie together all snuggled up.

You have to taste this:

You may have already noticed I’m not a fan of cooking, I’m just not good at it (my husband is the best though because he never complains). Out of all the food I make I love the Red beans and rice dish. If I’m not cooking it chocolate soufflé would be on the menu every night, with a side of chocolate dipped strawberries.

Favorite Quote:

This one has always stood out in my life. “When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “Happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.”  – John Lennon

Melissa + Michael | Downtown Littleton Engagement Photos

Melissa and Michael met up with me last Tuesday to show me the hot spots in Downtown Littleton, I just had to promise to take some nice photos while we were at it! It was so easy to have fun with these two. Their giggly personalities made everything we did so much fun. I could have easily spent the entire evening with them – especially since they were planning on celebrating Melissa’s birthday with a steak dinner after their shoot! I couldn’t be more excited for their upcoming wedding at Red Rocks this fall! -Allie

Who knew Littleton, Colorado would be such a great location for engagement photos?

We found the prettiest brick alley way for photos.

Littleton was full of beautiful nooks, crannies and parks!

Melissa & Michael paired their outfits perfectly for the beautiful downtown streets of Littleton!

The perfect ending to any engagement session is a perfect dip kiss in the middle of the street!
