JSP brides and grooms are awesome. I love each and every couple. They come up with the best weddings that are full of love and fun. Nick and Amelia contacted me to photograph their wedding reception at Mary’s Lake Lodge in Estes Park. They had eloped in Hawaii (I still don’t know why they didn’t take me to Hawaii with them to photograph the ceremony) and were having a wedding reception in Estes Park with their families. Weddings with personal touches are my favorite and since Amelia’s heritage is Middle Eastern she really took advantage of this and created a unique celebration.
First some wedding portraits complimented by the stunning Estes Park scenery…
Amelia and Nick did a spectacular job decorating the Grand Room of Mary’s Lake Lodge. The fabric and bright colors created a wonderful atmosphere. Delilah’s of Denver provided the flowers and design.
No wedding cake for Nick and Amelia instead they had wedding baklava!
The henna on Amelia was beautiful.
Nick’s brother in law joined the Jason Boyer Jazz trio to play the trumpet.
I love a good spontaneous wedding toast.
And now the entertainment – A Belly Dancer! I have never been to a wedding with a belly dancer and I was so looking forward to photographing this.
When she pulled out the sword Nick joined in and balanced the sword quite well I must say.
Amelia changed into a party dress for the dancing and the pictures confirm everyone thought she looked beautiful.
One final photo of Nick and Amelia enjoying their party.
Thank you Nick and Amelia for inviting me to photograph your wedding reception. I enjoyed getting to know you and look forward to seeing you again. Friends and Family can pre-register to see the entire photo gallery here: Nick and Amelia Wedding Photos
