Saturday afternoon I walked into Taharaa Mountain Lodge and heard a voice say, "Justin, you're here!"I stared at the gal on the other end of that line and although I didn't know who she was I figured that she must be part of the wedding party. My best guess led me to believe it was one of the bridesmaids.
Ten or so seconds later I realized it was Season. Combine the fact that I hadn't seen her since last fall and she didn't have her glasses on threw me through a loop. Her transformation to gorgeous bride reminded me of a recent Acura television commercial.
While I was with the ladies, Stephanie was down the road with Jake and the boys. Clearly her lens was drawn to the little ones as she managed to capture two of my favorite moments of the day.
My favorite thing about photographing a wedding in the mountains is the great light and distinctive look that says Colorado. After the ceremony they ventured down the road to Mary's Lake to take everything in. Stephanie and I worked from a distance to give them a moment to themselves. Crawling down by the lake's edge and climbing up the mountain provided me with a few great perspectives of both them and the surroundings.
It goes without saying that my shoes didn't return home as clean and shiny as when I started the day.
