lodge at cathedral pine wedding | colorado springs photographers

Dec 05, 2010

We are always thrilled to return to the Lodge at Cathedral Pines for wedding photos!  For Janice and Kellan there was the added bonus of getting to photograph in the morning, which means that with the lighting coming from the opposite direction, everything was reversed!  The same location at different types of day gets used in a totally different way, so it’s always fun to mix it up a little.  Janice and Kellan were sealed at the Denver LDS Temple the day prior to the ring ceremony and reception, so if you want to check out day one, click here!

Janice had the awesome idea to have a morning ceremony with a brunch reception.  I think it’s a fabulously creative wedding idea.  It keeps the budget down; if you dislike dancing people won’t expect to dance; and you can spend the rest of your day zipping off to your honeymoon!  It also helps if you get the most incredible quiches in the whole wide world.  I am seriously still thinking about them two and a half months later.  I dream about them.  When I wake up and there’s not the world’s best quiches, I’m disappointed.  When I go to the Egg and I and have any number of my previously favorite dishes, I think ‘ehh.  not The World’s Best Quiche.’

Okay.  Enough quiche talk.  It’s making me hungry and lonely for quiche.  Moving onto the pictures!

Getting ready again–and she looked just as gorgeous on Day 2 as the day before!

Janice had mentioned that she really wanted a picture of the bride and groom together walking away from the camera.  I’m a big fan of that shot, too–I love the way it looks like they’re walking off into their future together! Add the beautiful rural dirt road and I’m a very happy wedding photographer!

Getting romantic.  A kiss in a backlit field!

Cute kids and weddings go together like peas and carrots.

Bride and her dad before walking down the aisle.  Janice’s dad had to be practically busted out of the hospital to make it–it was a very big deal that he was able to be there to walk her down the aisle that day.  This might be one of my most favorite pictures ever–I’m a sucker for emotion!

The kiss!

Best wedding centerpieces!  A totally unique idea put together by Janice’s sister–I was completely in awe of these floral centerpieces with plums and a mason jar and a piece of a  log.  So creative and so beautiful!

Cake cutting!

One of my favorite shots of Kellan–I just love candid laughter!

Janice and Kellan, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding.  Your grace and ability to go with the flow as things changed around you is magnificent!  I wish you a long and happy life together!
