I am so so so excited to blog this wedding! Monica and Dan had the most amazing wedding in Beaver Creek on Labor Day weekend. I knew their wedding photos would be awesome after their engagement shoot last year in Vail in the snow! And I wasn’t wrong.
The wedding, coordinated by Victoria Hentrich was absolutely stunning, the centerpieces and flowers by Fleur de Liz were breathtaking, Laura from Glo Makeup wins the best-makeup-artist-ever award for putting Monica in the most amazing light for the getting ready photos, The Osprey hotel was easy to work with (and had a yummy alternative to the dreaded cold boxed sandwhich vendor dinner, which always wins us over!), and Monica and Dan themselves were the most gracious of hosts. It was definitely one of those weddings that we would eagerly shoot over and over and over again if we could!
Monica was sitting in the absolute best light ever for getting ready pictures! Between that and her incredible skin, I was in photographer heaven!
I love this shot of Dan!!
We did their portraits before the ceremony and Monica was so brave about the wind/rain (which luckily died down after a little while)!
We just about killed Monica’s poor wedding coordinator when we put them in on this hill of bushes! We probably owe her a day at a spa over the stress of watching Monica go in there with her dress!
Making good use of the wind:
The ceremony was held at the Beaver Creek Chapel.
Monica looks so bridal!
The reception at the Osprey was perfect–elegant, intimate, beautifully candle lit!
Monica and Dan, we absolutely loved photographing your wedding–thank you for trusting us so implicitly, for being such gracious hosts, and for being so easy to photograph!

Behind the scenes–Nic always gets the cutest kid shots!

Lauren Sep 28, 2009 at 08:23Wow! The veil blowing and the moment before she makes the walk down the aisle may be my two favorite wedding pictures of all time! Gorgeous!
Monica&Dan Brickley Sep 28, 2009 at 08:01You and Nic completely exceeded our expectations...we are so elated with our pictures. We look at them just about every day so we can relive the joy and excitement of that day. And I'm not even kidding - Dan still tears up everytime he sees certain pictures. That alone, and the memories you captured so vividly, are worth so much to us and our family. Thank you!!!
