Andrew and Ellie were married at the beautiful Rockledge Inn in Manitou Springs.\u00a0 They were so wonderful to work with and the site was gorgeous.\u00a0 :)\u00a0 We would happily shoot their wedding every weekend!\u00a0 (How about it guys?\u00a0 Feel like getting married every weekend forever?)<\/p>\n

Ellie is as beautiful as she is awesome (which is a lot)!!\u00a0 [And we also happen to be incredibly fond of her name!\u00a0 ;) ]<\/p>\n

Nic and I had a little argument over who took this shot, because we both took pictures of everyone looking out the window at different times that day and this was the fave.\u00a0 I was massively annoyed to check out the file data only to see that it was Nic’s.<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings02\"<\/p>\n

These two are so in love!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings032\"<\/p>\n

Yep.\u00a0 She’s gorgeous!<\/p>\n

We loved this wedding party.\u00a0 They were awesome and made portrait time so easy on us!<\/p>\n

If Andrew and his grooms-people ever form a band, this can be their album cover.\u00a0 (Andrew’s best “man” was his sister–how awesome is that?!\u00a0 I went home and was like “Will, listen up–here’s how it’s gonna go…”)<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings07\"<\/p>\n

This shot CRACKS ME UP.\u00a0 The words “throw an arm around each other in a man hug sort of way” were not out of my mouth before these two posed in perfect bride+bridesmaid style.\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings09\"<\/p>\n

Loving this ring shot!\u00a0 (Thanks, Nic!!)<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings10\"<\/p>\n

Off to get married!!!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings11\"<\/p>\n

A my angle\/Nic’s angle moment!\u00a0 (I’ll let you guess who shot what.)<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings12\"<\/p>\n

Right after the ceremony Andrew and Ellie stole away for a few private moments.\u00a0 (Although I’m not sure you can really call it private if you’ve got a photographer stalker hiding behind a hedge. :)\u00a0 )\u00a0 They were both emotional and it was so sweet to see.\u00a0 I love it when couples get to take a moment or two throughout the day to really savor the wedding!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings13\"<\/p>\n

The cakes were incredible…and shockingly they weren’t professional!\u00a0 I couldn’t believe it, but they were all made by Andrew’s parents’ neighbor who just happens to be an avid baker!\u00a0 (I wanna live next to such a Martha Stewart!!!)\u00a0 I also thought it was really cool that they served Mexican for dinner (yummy burritos!!) and had a margarita machine that was a huge hit.\u00a0 Definitely went in my “wedding tips\/ideas” bank!<\/p>\n

\"weddingphotographermanitousprings14\"<\/p>\n

I’ll close with a first dance picture:<\/p>\n

Thanks for everything Andrew and Ellie!\u00a0 We loved shooting your wedding and wish you every happiness!!<\/p>\n

It’s been a while since I’ve had a behind the scenes shot to share (or maybe it just feels like that)!\u00a0 Here’s the behind the scenes view of the black and white close-up portrait from up top.\u00a0 Gotta love cozey moments with your photographer 5 inches away from your face!<\/p>\n
