Chase and Ashlee are Married!
Chase and Ashlee were married last weekend at Stone Mountain Lodge in Lyons, CO. They couldn’t have gotten a more gorgeous day to celebrate the start of their new life together. Steve and I were honored to be a part of your wedding day. You really made us feel like guests and not just your photographers. Below are the sneak peak photos divided into sections because I just couldn’t pick a few favorites.
Getting Ready
I love the getting ready photos. The ever so present sense of nervous anticipation and excitement as the bridesmaids fuss over my bride. The gorgeous dress waiting to be worn. The final details - jewelry, makeup, ribbons tied, shoes, veil - not forgotten.
First Look
Ashlee and Chase decided to do a first look meeting before the ceremony. If you aren’t a traditional bride and want to wait to see your groom as you walk down the aisle this is a chance to have a few minutes alone with your groom (with me of course - but just ignore the lady behind the camera) After we can take some family and bridal party photos.
Ceremony
The main event. I loved the final individual photos of Chase and Ashlee right before the ceremony began. You can just see the deep contemplation as they reflect on the vows they are about the share. The bottom photograph is probably my favorite from the day. I caught the last quick kiss as they scurried away from the ceremony. Ashlee surprised me by playing the song on my website as their exit song (”we are man and wife” written and performed by Michelle Featherstone). I was so wrapped up in photographing everyone leaving the ceremony that it took me a little while to hear the song. When I realized what song was playing I was looking for her and caught this shot.
Reception and Portraits
Party Time! The reception is the culmination of a huge day of activity. It is time to celebrate with your friends and family. Below are photos from the first dance and Bubble entry. We snuck Chase and Ashlee out of the reception to take a walk around Stone Mountain Lodge with Steve and I. These are my favorite photos from the walk.
And the final image is an awesome shot Steve captured of the Stone Mountain Lodge’s reception tent lite up. Great photo!
Congratulations Chase and Ashlee and thank you for letting us be a part of your day. Your online gallery with all of the photos will be ready next week.
