On Saturday Lisa and Dave braved the awful weather to have their beautiful wedding at the First Wesleyan Church and Tre Luna.

Lisa got ready at the fantastic Lady Godiva Hair Studio in downtown Colorado Springs:

While she was getting ready, she received this text message:

I love this shot of laughter between the bride and her bridesmaids!

This one just begs for a title and I can come up with about a million!

My favorite “boys getting ready” shot is the simplest:

As the flower girl walked down the aisle she threw handfuls of flowers off to the side.  It became less and less ladylike and more and more like throwing a softball…all culminating in a violent toss of a fistful of petals at the mother of the groom.  It was hilarious!

The moment where bride and groom meet at the altar is always special!

The reception at Tre Luna was beautiful of course!  Lisa used her grandparents’ wedding topper, and had a picture of them from their wedding day on the cake table–the perfect touch!

Lisa and Dave had a bunch of great props for the photo booth.  This little guy was my fave:

Normally the light is awful for cake cutting–it’s usually in a dark corner.  But for this morning wedding with the cake in front of a window, the light was PERFECT.

Lisa ate the piece intended for Dave.  He was prepared for either a nice feeding or a face smashing, but not to have his bite stolen!

This is by far the best ever garter-toss picture I’ve ever captured.  When I saw it on the LCD I was laughing so hard I had no words.  It’s like a slow-mo boxing shot or something!

A few dancing shots…

We shot Lisa and Dave’s portraits at the end of the wedding reception, and they were very brave to go outside into the miserably windy weather!  It made for some cute windy shots, though!

I met Travis at Garden of the Gods earlier this week for his senior portraits.  We caught a gorgeous day and some great light!

Travis is currently choosing between NINE colleges.  He is certain to do great things!

Guys are so easy to shoot–minimal outfit changes, no worries about hair and wind…we knocked out Travis’s portraits in 45 minutes!

On Sunday I got to photograph baby Conner on his one week birthday–this little guy was born Easter morning!  It was only appropriate, then, to break out the bunny hat.  I think he liked it, too!

This blanket was made by his grandma when his daddy was a baby.  I love getting to incorporate meaningful items into the shoot!

And a family shot to finish it off!  Alison is doing such an amazing job as a new momma!

We have officially entered into our busy season.  In the last four days I shot two weddings, Conner’s newborn shoot, and a senior portrait session.  This blog is gonna be busy this summer!
