John + Jodi – June 20, 2009 (Part 1)
A few weeks ago, Hailey and I were honored to photograph the wedding of John and Jodi. They were married at Christ the King Catholic Church in Evergreen and had their wedding reception at the Evergreen Lake House on Evergreen Lake.
Jodi, John and I met back in April at a coffeehouse in Denver to collaborate and discuss the details. It was clear early on that their love of the mountains, the outdoors and nature was a central part of their lives and would be reflected on their big day.
So Jodi asked that before the ceremony, we get a picture of her dress hanging from a pine tree.
We had just enough time before the rains set in to do a round of pre-ceremony portraits. This has been an unusually wet summer in Colorado, and this day was no exception. The skies were fairly cloudy through about 2pm and then the rains came in for a good four hours. However, I’ve always heard that rain on a wedding day is good luck, and I believe it: It rained on my wedding day!
Jodi’s cousin Amy designed the programs to the wedding (above).
Later this week, I’ll post more images of the post-ceremony shots from the Evergreen Hotel, the Little Bear (a local hangout where they popped in for a bit) and the reception.
