After just shooting their engagement session a few short weeks ago, I was pumped to say the least to shoot Jessica and Greg's wedding in Crested Butte this past weekend. Not only did I get to leave behind the Denver heat and head to a beautiful charming mountain town that I had never been to (but plan to go back to immediately!), but I got to photograph a beautiful wedding for two amazing people!
Almost everyone at their wedding came from out of town (mostly the South) which made their wedding such a great experience! And given that Jessica and Greg are two of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, it just made my own weekend that much better! Nothing like being surrounded by southern hospitality!
I got to drive up a day early to take photos at their rehearsal dinner.
The location of their wedding was on a beautiful piece of property that had long grass, beautiful mountain hills, and horses! Unfortunately they were no where to be found after the ceremony when we were taking Jessica and Greg's photos but I did manage to get some photos of them as the girls were getting ready earlier in the day.
Jessica's dress was beautiful!
The girls were stunning!
Jessica was absolutely gorgeous!
How dashing does Greg look!
When we finished taking photos of Jessica, her father handed her this four leaf clover he had found. How cool!
I am so in love with this shot of Jessica and her dad walking to give her away.
Both of Jessica's step brothers got to be a part of the ceremony, one played the music and the other one performed the ceremony.
I love moments like this, when Greg couldn't quite get Jessica's ring on!
I followed Jessica and Greg as they walked and waited for their bridal party to follow, and got some great photos right as the sun was going down.
It was a southern wedding, of course they wore cowboy boots!
Their reception was beautiful with all of the yellow and white lanterns!
I kid you not when I say the coolest part of the reception was the specialty made grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup shooters. Amazing! And so much fun!
The guests definitely were having a blast!
Loved this last photo!
Jessica and Greg, what a blessing you both are! I continued to hear all weekend long from your friends and family how so many knew that while you were friends first you'd end up together in the end. And while it took several years to get to this day, it was 100% completely worth the wait! Congratulations! Have a blast on your California honeymoon!
Great photos and a great wedding!! Congrats to Greg and Jessica. The photography is amazing and the picture of Jessica and her Dad with Mt Crested Butte in the background is STUNNING!!
