Boulder Engagement Photos {Colorado Wedding Photography}

June 30, 2009 10:46 am

I had the pleasure of getting to know Tony and Shurie this weekend at their engagement session.  Their passion and joy for each other was evident from the first photos we took.

I met Tony and Shurie through Laurie at Estes Park Wedding and Event Planners.  Their wedding is this September in Estes Park, Colorado.

We met in Boulder, these are only a few of my favorite photos.  My goals during an engagement session are to get to know my couple, have fun and document their relationship.  Tony and Shurie are an example of a dream client for us.  They love to laugh and were such fun to work with.  Steve and I didn’t have to pull out our corny jokes to loosen them up, they were ready to have fun.

All of the rain we’ve been having this year created a gorgeous, green meadow for us but it has also increased the mosquito population to levels I haven’t seen since I left Florida.  We were all slapping bugs but Tony and Shurie were wonderful and endured the attacks.  Thank you so much – I will be adding bug spray to my emergency bag.

I asked them to take a twirl.  Their first dance photos are going to be fun.

Congratulations Tony and Shurie! (and Happy Birthday Shurie)  I’m looking forward to your Colorado wedding at Della Terra Mountian Chateau in September.

Maryland Wedding

May 26, 2009 3:16 pm

This love story began in high school, but needed a little ice cream to sweeten the beginning: Colleen was not initially interested because Dan was ‘only’ a Junior! A determined Dan found out Colleen loved ice cream, and she eventually agreed to have ice cream with him. Dan’s tour of duty in Afghanistan allowed Colleen to realize how much he meant to her and how much she missed him. Colleen and Dan were married in a ceremony at St. Joe’s and the reception was at Lynfield Event Complex.

Here are only a few highlights from their wedding.  Stay tuned for the slideshow which will tell more of the story.

Getting Ready

After months of planning the dress waits to be put on…

I loved this moment after Colleen’s mom put on her veil and realized her baby was a bride.

If you have two photographers at your wedding this is what you can get.  Steve was up in the balcony while I was on the main floor.

It was a little windy and the veil wasn’t cooperating, but this mess lead to the next intimate moment.

Client Testimony

April 8, 2009 10:27 am

I got the sweetest review from Chase and Ashlee yesterday on weddingwire.

“Jennifer was such a blessing for our wedding. We felt like she really tried to get to know us and our personalities prior to our big day. She had wonderful ideas and really captured beautiful memories for us to cherish for years to come.”
Chase & Ashlee

This means so much to me.  I work hard to get to know my couples and help them feel comfortable on their wedding day.  I’ve found through things like the engagement session and planning sessions before your wedding my couples get to know me and really loosen up on the wedding day.  We are able to create beautiful images right from the getting ready photos until the final goodbye at the reception.  Plus, Chase and Ashlee made us feel like guests at their wedding and not just the hired help which we loved.  They also picked up their wedding album and said;  “It looks amazing!  Thanks for all your hard work.  We will be super proud to show it off when we see our families next.”  The post is here if you’d like to it:  http://www.jenniferschumacherphotography.com/blog/2009/03/wedding-album/

Congratulations again and keep in touch.
