Kris & Cori - Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge

June 19, 2008 | Filed Under Travel, Wedding  by emi | 

The long awaited Colorado wedding has been posted! Kris and Cori are dear friends of ours and it was such an honor to be a part of their special day. Michael was actually the best man at the wedding, so he had a bit of double duty, while I charged about in my Ugg boots trying to capture the raw, natural beauty of their Breckenridge wedding. We spent 5 days in Colorado helping with preparations, being a part of parties, brunches, rehearsal, the much anticipated wedding, and then a two day snowboarding experience. The first single image in the post, was taken from the deck of the cabin at sunrise. As his bare feet crunched through the fresh snow on the cedar deck of the bridal party cabin, Michael got this gorgeous shot which speaks so much of the serenity and beauty of the wedding. Oh, and when I say “cabin” I mean snowy mountain mansion…the place was unreal, and the entire bridal party stayed all together for 3 days which made for a really special time for Kris and Cori as they were surrounded by some of their favorite people. It was pretty cold that day, but the sun did come out, and the bridal party braved the cold air, and trecked out in the snow (boots and all) for the photos

The gathering was intimate, with close friends and family present. The love for Kris and Cori was truly evident throughout the entire week, and it was so special to experience it with them. It was a time to celebrate what God had done in their lives individually, and what the future would hold for them collectively. I’ve never cried so much at a wedding, I was so touched by the heart of Cori’s father as he married them, and Kris’s reaction when he first saw Cori was the most precious I’ve seen.

Let us know what you think!

    As always, captivating and artistic! You guys ROCK! Ok, seriously, don’t take this lightly, you guys are really one of the best! I’ve scoped out just about every amazing photographer out there including Jessica Claire, LaCour, Bob Evans, Kelby, Yervant, Joe Bussink, and a hundred others and you guys are at the top of my list when it comes to weddings. All of those photographers are phenomenal too but I just feel more drawn to your style. Kudos once more, keep it up!

    These look amazing guys. I’ve been checking every week, and was so excited to see they’re up. Awesome work as always, hope business (and life) is going well for you both.
