Marlene & Family Winter Park Reunion

Marlene and her family came to Fraser, just outside of Winter Park in Grand County, Colorado. Their family reunion included relatives from all over the country and as close as Golden, Colorado. Here are a few of my favorite portraits from our photo session in the mountains.

Angela & Michael's Golden Wedding

Angela & Michael actually got married this fall. It was a surprise wedding. They had a few family members over and while the crew was making crafts in the basement, Angela slipped into a wedding dress and they set up an altar in the living room upstairs, overlooking the canyon they live in outside of Boulder.

So this wedding was the wedding celebration! Casual, creative and all together awesome. Angela, a theater buff, and Michael, a dude who's up for anything fun and creative and a healthy challenge, decided to put on a production of "A Prairie Home Companion" for their wedding. What?! Yes, you heard me right. And it was awesome.

Let's start with some portraits...

Starring their family and friends with an audience of .... well, more family and friends, these two along with surprise skits from their friends, crafted a hilarious, entertaining and tear-jerkingly sweet stage production performed at the Miner's Playhouse theater in Golden, Colorado. There were songs, there were skits, and there were vows. Repeating the same vows they exchanged at their wedding, they shared them this time with their greater community. And what vows they were! Michael's of a loving and Buddhist nature and Angela's including a wonderful song to Michael about how lucky she is. Oh man. I need to toughen up at these ceremonies.

The party continued with a cocktail hour in the lobby and then the three of us cruised out to the Washington area downtown in Golden for some portraits. Oh yea, and did I mention that Angela is pregnant? Yay!

Angela's iron fist.

A picnic party followed at Lions Park by Clear Creek, starring food from locals Frank's BBQ. Great party and great crew. Enjoy the photos!

The cohort.

Baby bump!

Score!

Attie wants cake.
