Karen and Jacynda
Mile High Station
Denver, Colorado
August 2, 2009
On Sunday I photographed the beautiful commitment ceremony of Karen and Jacynda at Mile High Station. You might remember them from their engagement portraits earlier this summer. I loved how the details suited their contemporary style so beautifully, with a color scheme of black and silver. Karen and Jacynda wore gowns in shades of silver, and the overall look of the day was chic and modern.
I’d like to send a big thank you to Tamera Goldsmith and Lindsey Zahalka for all their help that day. It’s always fantastic to work with them!
Congratulations to the lovely Karen and Jacynda!

The brides and their parents walked down side aisles and met in the middle.

I just adore those teddies. What a fabulous idea!
What a cool way to walk two brides down the aisle(s)!
Awesome job Charlotte! Can’t wait to work this same venue with you in a couple of weeks!
That is such a fantastic idea with both sets of parents walking them at the same time! Gorgeous as always 🙂

Oh, I love their dresses! same sex ceremonies are always tricky with attire, but they nailed it! 😀
And the pictures are ALWAYS awesome. 🙂
I love, love the colors they chose for the wedding. Super chic. Gorgeous couple 🙂 and great photos as always!
Love love love it! I haven’t even had a chance to review my pictures at all yet, so this was a nice preview. Wonderful job as always, the love shines through. Thanks for letting me help you on this one. Hugs, Tamera
These are so beautiful. I always get a little elated when I see one of your same-sex weddings. It means a lot to someone who grew up with a gay parent to to see open minded people who believe the only thing that really matters is love.
Thank Charlotte, for your open mindedness and sincerity!
Beautiful Charlotte! They look so filled with love. And I always love seeing the Mile High Station all dressed up 😉

Whoa, really nifty cake! This looked like a very joyful occasion 🙂
This is one of my favorites of yours– part of that was their amazing style, of course, but I love it all! We had a lovely break last weekend for our anniversary but this weekend we have a double header and now I’m totally psyched.
That cake is awesome…never seen one like it. I love it.
Very sincere ceremony and pictures. Dear, Charlotte, thank you for your stunning work. It always makes my eyes cried with happiness. Your customers surely are delighted to have you! Great job!
certainly not to ‘devalue’ the other weddings that you photograph, but the photos of the commitment ceremonies that you’ve taken just explode with love, happiness and emotion.
Thanks for sharing them with us who live in states that aren’t quite there yet 🙂
So beautiful. Everyone looks so happy.
I love the colors and the shots, especially the black and white ones. Oh and the tower outside of the building, but I have a big thing for architecture.
If I ever get married, someway, somehow, I’m hiring you!
