Ellen & Robert's Wedding - The Sanctuary

Ellen and I lived right next door to each other when we were little, and we grew up being great friends so when she contacted me about photographing her wedding I couldn't have been more happy!  It was so much fun to get to be apart of her special day!  Ellen and Robert's wedding was PERFECT in every way. They got married at The Sanctuary golf course in Castle Pines, which is an absolutely beautiful venue!  It had been a gloomy morning, and it poured down rain while Ellen and Robert were getting ready for the ceremony.  BUT, right before the ceremony started, the rain cleared up, and it ended up being a bright, sunny gorgeous afternoon!  Ellen and Robert met in college at the Colorado School of Mines and they are perfect for each other!  I knew that we would all get along great when they invited me over for pizza to go over all of the last minute details before the wedding!  They were both SO easy to work with and they were so laid back and relaxed about the whole thing.  Ellen was probably the calmest bride I've ever photographed ... nothing could have happened that would have stressed this bride out!  

The wedding was PERFECT (did I already mention that?!) down to the very last detail.  Look at how stunning all of these details were!

Everybody was so relaxed while getting ready.  The bride and her bridesmaids took their time, chatted, and munched on chips and salsa and quesadillas while sipping on some wine.  The groom and his groomsmen had to get cleaned up after spending the morning skeet shooting.
