denver lds temple – wedding photographer – colorado
Dec 03, 2010
I was so thrilled to be able to photograph Janice and Kellan’s wedding portraits at the Denver LDS Temple! It was quite a story–on Thursday morning I was standing in my kitchen, thinking I was done with wedding season, and less than 24 hours later I was photographing Janice as she got ready for her and Kellan’s sealing at the Denver LDS Temple! Their original photographer had a family emergency and was unable to travel to Colorado for the wedding, so she got in touch with me. Janice couldn’t have handled the situation better–even though we’d just had a brief conversation over the phone less than a day before her wedding, she trusted me and was so easy to work with!
Kellan’s sister did Janice’s hair and make-up. She looked incredible!
On their way!
The first look. Janice looked amazing, and Kellan’s expression of joy was just perfect!
For those unfamiliar with Mormon weddings, cameras aren’t allowed at the actual wedding ceremony (the sealing) , so portraits on the temple grounds that showcase the temple building along with the couple are very important.
As we stood taking pictures at this spot I had an idea. “Kellan, can you do that jumping thing where you kick both legs out to the side?” I asked (or something just as inarticulate). He answered something to the effect of “probably.” We got it in one take. ONE. He rocked it!
Funny story about this next photo. As we were taking pictures on the Denver LDS Temple grounds, the sprinklers went off not three feet away from us. Talk about terrifying!
Some pretty sun flare from their gorgeously sunny and warm day!
After the sealing they were greeted outside by family and friends.
And then we headed out to one of their favorite Mexican restaurants for some lunch and laughter!
Nothing brings a family together like looking at silly pictures of other family members!
Up next, pictures from Day 2 of Janice and Kellan’s wedding – their ring ceremony and reception at the Lodge at Cathedral Pines!
