Mary and Doug Tee Off Their Marriage at The Ranch Country Club

September 23, 2008 | Filed Under Wedding Photos 

I can’t believe that I haven’t posted anything on this blog this month, as the wedding whip has been cracking me all September. Well get ready for my best wedding posts to come here over the next couple weeks, because I’ve had awesome couples, awesome venues, and lots of wedding cake.

This wedding had the unusual twist that I was contacted by a woman looking for a wedding photographer for her Mom’s wedding! As you can tell by Mary’s photos, her daughter is clearly can’t be older than 5 years old. I can’t believe how young kids are getting cell phones these days.

But seriously, Erin (one of the daughters) is great, is probably the nicest girl on the entire planet, and is old enough to legally drink. Erin’s boyfriend better look out, she says she wants to hire me to shoot her own wedding really badly.

The grounds of the The Ranch had some super cool picture ops. I took some normal pictures first, but eventually gravitated towards my usual weirdness. They seemed to be having a good time no matter what I made them do!

I was a little concerned about the lighting conditions for the ceremony. The wedding was shot straight into a glaring sunset. I’m pretty happy with how the dramatic lighting turned out.

The reception was held in a beautiful indoor/outdoor dining area. I was pleasantly surprised that these guys came here ready to party! I have so many pictures of these guys laughing; it’s really great to see. You guys seem super happy together, so psyched for you both!

I also discovered a truism of wedding receptions. If you want people to dance, there is one sure-fired answer. It doesn’t matter, young or old, there are 5 letters to know. D-I-S-C-O.

I didn’t really do any getting ready shots, but I thought of a ring shot at the last minute. Another wedding in the books, tune back tomorrow when I return to good ol’ Boulder. Steve out.
