Michaele and Diana, immediately after their ceremony

      Immediately after their ceremony, Diana and Michaele hid away in a private corner of the church basement to share a few minutes together. I love this candid moment.

      Diana and Michaele got married last Tuesday at the beautiful St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Denver. Their families are good friends, and the entire event felt personal and perfect. Michaele’s brother was even the pastor that married them. Before the ceremony, Michaele and Diana saw each other for the first time at the Denver Botanic Gardens, where we did group portraits among the flowers.

      Congratulations, Diana and Michaele!


      Diana was surrounded by flowers in the Romantic Gardens as she waited for Michaele to arrive.


      Michaele arrived to greet her bride.


      Diana’s veil was a family heirloom.

      This was so cute.

      I agree with everyone who has commented already. You got some amazing photos capturing the happy moment, and it’s all just so great. You are amazing!

      Okay when will the lesbian couples start asking me to shoot their weddings? The brides I like, but most of the fiances are so…. well men’s men (if you know what I mean).

      That garden is incredible and the brides are so beautiful. You can tell they have been happy together and will continue being so happy together.

      And what beautiful dresses!!!

      love the veil in the air shot.
      they are beautiful ladies! great captures of their special day!

      Wow–the botanic gardens look absolutely amazing!!!! why have I never been?? putting that on my list of things to do next time we’re in town.

      Lovely shots, Charlotte. And lucky, too — most weddings just have one gorgeous bride, you got two!

      I love the mirror picture.

      Beautiful! I particularly love the ones of the veil floating in the air.

      In the first photo above the cut, the brides look enough like my fiance’s friends who were just married that for a split-second I wondered if you’d been in Wells this weekend. 😉

      These are beautiful photographs, Charlotte! Wonderful job as always!

      Unbelievably beautiful!

      wow the lighting in the botanical garden is great. Even though it was stormy, the bright boquets just pop against a dark sky!!

      Fantastic pictures. As usual, you capture true emotion in just about every picture. I love every time you put one of these up.

      These are lovely. They look so happy.

      beautiful! what a wonderful celebration!

      Absolutely beautiful photos capturing such wonderful moments. Diana and Michaele are just gorgeous!!
