Day 1: 12 Days of Pictures- Favorite Wedding Moments of 2009

Last year we thought it would be fun to post 12 days of pictures as a year in review of some of our favorite images. It was so much fun we thought we'd do it again! This time however, we thought we'd try something a bit different and choose a different theme or topic for each day. We had some awesome weddings this past year and are so grateful to each of our couple's that let us capture their big day! Check back each day for a new post.

Day 1: On the 1st day of pictures my camera gave to me... some favorite images of Colorado weather. I figured since we are in Colorado and it's near Christmas time it's only fitting to start this series of 12 days of Pictures with images that represent our drastic changes from the Colorado weather. If you want to be a photographer in Colorado you better come prepared on a wedding day- you never know if that 60 degree heat could become snow in a matter of hours or if the 102 degrees from the summer sun could lead to an afternoon thunderstorm.

This first image is from all the way back in January of this year at Cathy & Cody's Wedding. The ground may have been snow free just a few days before their wedding but it came in the day before leaving some behind for their big day. Cathy borrowed some boots to wear under her dress while we took some pictures outside but apparently they were so comfortable she left them on through the rest of the night. Here's the two of them walking along the street with her boots, the snow on the ground, and someone getting rid of their Christmas tree in the car behind them:


This image is among a group of some of my absolute favorites ever! I'd always wanted to photograph in fog and while it's not the easiest thing to photograph it sure makes for some great images. We could barely see 10 feet in front of us while driving to Kacey & Jay's wedding that day back in May but we were really glad when the fog stuck around to take some awesome images in it!:
