Denver Colorado & Iowa Wedding Photography | Mallory & Jacob say I Do

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward to 2013 as much as I am. To kick off this first week of the new year, and to celebrate all the newly engaged couples out there, I will be featuring my weddings and engagements from 2012 as well as a few from previous years that I missed and are oh-so blog worthy. First up, Mallory & Jacob’s vintage wedding!

Every wedding photographer loves a client that puts high priority on their wedding day images. Mallory was not only a dream client, but took it to the next level by actually hiring me to be her wedding photographer before she officially had the engagement ring!

In her words: “Jacob and I had been talking about getting married in the summer of 2012. We made some wedding plans but still no ring. So I began searching for a photographer. I had no idea how hard it would be for me to find someone whose work I loved. Anyone can take a picture, but I wanted someone who could capture emotion and form it into art. A moment. Still. Silent. Slow. Warm. Something that says a thousand words and none at the same time. Finally, I found the photographer that I had to have. Kristina Marshall from Kristina Lynn Photography & Design. Her work was good and I knew she could capture the moments I was after. I told Jacob we needed to hire her before she was booked by another couple. I would be devastated if I had to wait until he proposed-who knew when-only to find out she couldn’t do it. I actually talked him into it. We hired her. She probably thought I was nuts when she realized I didn’t have the ring yet. This was probably in June or July. Jacob finally proposed in October. By then, I had my photographer, our venue and my dress and veil.”

This was the first time I had ever been hired before the ring had been given. It was very flattering to know that Mallory loved my work and cherished photography so much. I was beyond excited to capture their day for them!

We started the day at the Belmont Hill Victorian Bed & Breakfast where Mallory had booked the entire top floor of the renovated 1890s Carriage House. The innkeeper was able to divide the room in two so both Mallory and Jacob could get ready in the space without seeing each other. The decor was a great match for the couple’s vintage inspired wedding day and the beautiful gardens outside were perfect for the first look, which was one of my favorite parts of the whole day. Just look at that emotion! Mallory told me later that she was so excited to see Jacob that it took everything in her not to go running around the corner of the building to get to him. 🙂

For the second part of the creatives, we headed over to the ceremony venue, Ushers Ferry Historic Village, to utilize the amazing historic buildings that the couple loved so much. It’s hard to believe just a few years ago this entire area was hit hard by a flood and the entire village had to go through a huge renovation before it could reopen. I was so thankful for the Hotel building with it’s beautiful window light and glorious air conditioning that provided some relief from the sweltering July afternoon! 🙂 And the little one room church was fantastic for the small intimate ceremony. I also love the personalized touches the couple added to their wedding day: from the penguin cufflinks and cake topper to the family Bible that Mallory carried down the aisle.

I had so much fun photographing Mallory and Jacob’s wedding day. It was full of raw emotion and love for one another, which sometimes can get lost in the stress of the wedding day. These are the weddings I love to photograph because you can just feel the emotion in the images.
