Everyone wants a unique and special wedding that represents them.  But deciding what to incorporate and what not to is difficult.  What represents you and your future spouse?

How important are some of the traditional things to you?
Consider which traditions you want to keep and which ones you maybe want to throw a new twist on, or not do at all.  Instead of cake, you can incorporate a dessert you both love, cheese cake anyone?   Colorado has such great outdoor ceremony sites, you can design your ceremony any way you want.  Instead of having everyone facing the same way, why not have everyone in a circle around you?  Use your imagination and your venue to your advantage.

What do you love to do together?
Is there a place or an activity that just sums up you two as a couple?  If you love to rock climb, add in details that show that.  Or maybe you love to ski, and having your wedding at a mountain ski resort would be perfect.  With details of old skis and winter log feel.

How did you meet?
Did you meet at the farmers market, then add in touches of natural and locally grown ideas.  The flowers, or colors can represent that.   Or maybe you met on a blind date and could incorporate a theme of ‘love is blind.’

Where are you from?
Maybe you’re from here, but most of your guests are coming from other areas.  Incorporate Colorado inspired ideas.  Give your guests a taste of where you live.

Do you travel?
Incorporate places you’ve been to or hope to go someday.  Throw a vintage twist on it with vintage luggage and old maps.  Destinations abound!

caitlin-and-mac-216I love a couple that can’t seem to keep their hands off of each other the entire day.   You just got married you should be lovey dovey!  And it makes for beautiful images when a couple is always holding hand, hugging, and kissing!  You want to be able to look back 20 years from your wedding and go ‘ahhh we were so in love!  And we still are today!’  Show your affection, really you won’t regret it!

Inspiration

As an artist I’m always looking for things that inspire me and get me excited to pick up the camera.  I love looking at all kinds of art, from other photographers, to sculpture and paintings.   I recently came across Rodney Smiths work, and was absolutely floored!  L.O.V.E.D it!  His work is so classic and clean.  They’re just timeless in every sense of the word.  And it’s so HARD to do anything ‘timeless’.  We talked about how to make architecture timeless all the time when I was working for a firm.  How and what makes something timeless?  Does it need to still look fabulous in 50 or 1000 years from now before it’s ‘timeless.’  Or is it something else, that even something brand new can possess?  I personally am not big on tends.  Especially when it comes to my photography.  I still laugh when I see my parents wedding photos.  Now it could be the brown 70’s tux.  But I want my clients to look at their photos 50 years from now and feel like nothing has changed.  All they see is the love they have for each other and how much fun they had the day they got married.  Anyway I totally got off track.  I’m always on the look out for inspiration that’s ‘timeless’  in whatever that means.  And Rodney Smith totally nailed it on the head in my opinion.  

Inspiration is all around us, we just need to stop and smell the roses.  

 

Cheers fabulous people!

 

ps.  I totally LOVE hats.
