Mark & Rebecca's St. Louis Masquerade Wedding

Mark and Rebecca's wedding was held at a private residence in St. Louis, Missouri. These two creative folks orchestrated quite the smorgasbord of events, with a masquerade ball theme. Many of their friends helped with the performances, decorations and set up to make this a truly collaborative wedding. Call it a circus, call it a burner party, call it what you want - it was an awesome party. Check out the madness below.

Pre-wedding unveiling

Mark & Rebecca have been together since college, where they started out as friends and roommates. Each fall, they would host "Autumn Ball," a celebration of the season with their friends. This year, Autumn Ball was kicked off by their wedding, continuing old traditions and starting new ones.

Leif Borgenson's Celebration of Life

Leif Borgenson passed away this winter while hiking Highlands Bowl in Aspen Highlands, Colorado. These images are from his celebration of life memorial service and party. It's been a few months since these photos were taken, and I've found myself struggling trying to define how long is long enough before posting them? How long is too long? Do family and friends want to see these now... in two months... in two years... ever? But since Leif, a legendary ski patroller at the legend A-Basin, came from a community of people who chose specifically to CELEBRATE his life rather than just mourn his death, I figured it's time to share these images.

See the full album for a limited time HERE.

Friends, family and community gather at a packed Keystone Conference Center to speak and share stories about adventurous Leif, the snow safety director at Arapahoe Basin ski area.
