Spruce Mountain Ranch: Rebecca & Dave

Good morning!

I woke up to new yellow leaves outside my window.  Fall is very quickly on its way and Rebecca and Dave may have had the last real summer wedding of the year.

These two were married at the gorgeous Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Colorado over Labor Day Weekend.  It was a day that every photographer dreams about… a bride who is ever joyful with such unique taste.  A style that pushes the boundaries ever so slightly, yet remains forever timeless and elegant.  A wedding party and family who adopted us like one of them.  A groom who values wedding photography.  And weather creating the perfect light all night long.

*sigh* What you’re about to see is such eye candy.  I had the best time photographing Becca’s details and I could NOT get enough of her wedding party.  Just you wait.  We also had a blasty blast collaborating with Dave, a professional gaffer, in creating a photo booth and bringing in third photographer.  We caught some super fun images there.

Rebecca and Dave, I so appreciate our friendship.  Thank you for being so trusting, so excited, and so encouraging!  I look forward to hanging in Chicago with you next month! I love you guys to the moon and back.  And not just because you created my alter-ego wedding. :)

So much love and joy to you, friends.
René
