Persian Wedding in Colorado Springs | Shabnam & Joseph

It was an absolute pleasure to be part of Shabnam and Joseph’s Garden of the Gods Resort wedding. I have photographed a LOT of weddings and these two might be the most genuine people I’ve ever worked with. I feel like Joseph can talk to anyone about anything. Shabnam looks you in the eye and listens, actually listens, to what you have to say. They’re the type of human beings that we all hope our children grow up to be like. After meeting their parents and spending such an emotional day with them, I can see where they get it from. I’m a wedding photojournalist and while the service that I provide is important, it feels like so much more than that when I get the chance to work for couples like Shabnam & Joseph. I’ve been really looking forward to this one since their fall colors engagement photos in Breckenridge last year.

While Shabnam and the ladies had a relatively quiet morning getting ready, Anya was down the hall documenting all of the guys shenanigans. The day was full of laughter, tears and so many emotions in between. Although the day was mentally taxing, they didn’t take themselves too seriously and made sure to incorporate their goofy sides in their special day. There was too much happening to describe it all so scroll down and enjoy some of my favorite, storytelling images of the day. Congratulations you too, I’m so glad that we got to contribute a small part to your Garden of the Gods Resort wedding.

You’ll quickly realize why Garden of the Gods Resort is one of my favorite places to photograph weddings because the views are hard to beat. I had a feeling that their wedding would be a ton of fun because not only did I capture their engagement photos in Summit County last fall but I also photographed her sister’s wedding a few years ago. It always means a lot when you’re invited back to be part of another huge milestone for the family. I started the day with Jamie while Michael documented everything going on Chad’s side of the resort. I didn’t find out a saber was involved until I…

  • Jewish Wedding in Colorado Springs | Devan & Joshua

    I was so excited to photograph Devan and Joshua’s Garden of the Gods Resort wedding in Colorado Springs last week because the setting screams Colorado. As a Denver native I know how beautiful our state is but many of their families traveled from great distances and didn’t know the treat that was in store for them. Devan is from New Jersey and Joshua’s family resides in Chicago and Indianapolis but they even had family travel from as far as Africa to be at the ceremony. That alone tells you how close they are with their families. Both the gentleman and ladies got ready at the Colorado Springs Marriott just up the road from Garden of the Gods club and while I photographed Devan, her sisters…
