Doug & Kristen wanted a romantic & elegant winter wedding...One of their favorite getaway resorts is the luxurious Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado (near Telluride)...so they thought it was ideal to get married there. The setting was absolutely amazing...They rented the entire "town" for the weekend so their friends and family could share in the celebration for a few days with them...And I absolutely adored what Mixed Greens Events designed for them ~ a blend of modern elegance with the rustic setting...brilliant...oh how I love ghost chairs...
Other things I loved about their wedding story ~ How Doug flew her to NYC to go to Vera Wang (where she got her "Audrey") and then to Tiffany's for rings...Their equal love for champagne and chocolate & how they were so good about not having any sugar a few weeks up the wedding *I secretly think it is so they could completely enjoy everything at heightened senses on their wedding day*...And their sweet Rumba dance...love love love...And the angels were sending their wishes and kisses the night of the wedding as the snow fell beautifully all night long...just as Kristen had hoped it would...
...
I was so honored they chose me to be their photographer.
Thank you Doug & Kristen...Congratulations...love you both...
