It’s not unusual that I become friends with my brides. I think that’s what makes this job so fun, getting to know new friends during the most exciting time of their lives. But, this case is, in fact, a little unusual. That’s because Mackenzie is already a friend. Actually, one of my good friends. Really, one of my best ones. One of the few girls I see as more like a sister than a best friend. She has made me laugh so hard I cried, she has opened her home to me, been my biggest fan, a shoulder to cry on and a voice of reason. She stood up for me as one of my bridesmaids at our wedding and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend her wedding day than documenting it for her and Eric.
I’m going to let the images tell the rest of this story…. here’s a few of my many, many, MANY favorites from Mackenzie & Eric’s Golden, CO wedding!
Love this one (below) of Mackenzie…
Perfect spot for a first look, Colorado style!

Hayes was a little cold! But seriously, how cute is she!?
Looooove this last shot!

A very happy Monday!

I think you’ve all heard me talk about how much I love “Wear it Again” session, right? Call them what you will… Trash the Dress, Rock the Frock, Day After Session. Whatever you call it, there is nothing like putting on your dress one last time before it gets cleaned, preserved and packed away in a big box where you can only see one little sliver of it through a cellophane window.
So, when Julie emailed me about shooting a “wear it again” session, I couldn’t say yes fast enough!
This session embodied everything I love about getting a bride back in her wedding dress one last time. Her look was relaxed and natural but still elegant and the result was a totally different look from her bridal portraits on her wedding day. And, aside from a little splashing around in the river, her dress was really not much dirtier than it was the day after her wedding! See, you don’t need to “trash” your dress… but, you should wear it again!
Check out a few of my (many, many) favorites from my afternoon with Julie…
Julie, you are stunning… STUNNING! I hope you love these images as much as I loved shooting them for you!
Had to include a few outtakes from our little helpers… thanks for coming along, ladies!
