Sarah and Mike
Garden of the Gods
Colorado Springs
August 7, 2010
Sarah and Mike got married last weekend at First Congregational Church in downtown Colorado Springs. I was thrilled when they scheduled time to have their photos taken after the ceremony at the Garden of the Gods, and I love the results. They even included their dog and cat in the photos, so obviously I loved this wedding!
Thanks, Sarah and Mike! I hope you’re loving Costa Rica as much as I did last week.

Sarah’s cat, MJ, stopped by to give her a pre-ceremony cuddle.
Sarah wore green shoes that matched her bridesmaids’ gowns.

Mike’s green and yellow boutonniere included the a pine cone, the perfect Colorado touch.
A green color scheme is so fun for summer weddings.
The groomsmen wore green ties with green and yellow boutonnieres.

As the newlyweds celebrated outside the church, Mike gave me a thumbs-up.

One of my favorites
Their dog, Molly, met us at the Garden of the Gods for some photos.

I loved how the sun was shining in rays over the mountains.
This is another of my favorites, especially because it was a candid moment.

I love the clouds in the sky shot! Gorgeous photograph!
I have goose bumps….so beautiful
Great wedding… I had a blast 🙂 I love that they brought their pets! The Garden of the Gods pics in particular are GORGEOUS!!
Just incredible Charlotte…I love how you have so many moments and emotions combined with EPIC portraits of the bride and groom. It just makes me happy looking at your work. If I knew then what I know now, you would have been my wedding photographer without a doubt. Of course that was 12 years ago so you were probably only 13 or so. (;
WOW — some of the most stunning wedding photos I have ever seen!! Obviously, the subject matter was stunning — the Garden of the Gods wasn’t bad either. Love including the 4-footed members of the family!!!!
So beautiful!! So happy for you all. I love the photo of the smiling dog! Love the scenic shots… Blessings and peace,
Kathy

My two faves are the one where she’s bent backwards with her veil all flowing out as they kiss in that fabulous mtn setting – gorgeous!
and the one of the two of ’em w/their dog. How sweet is that, huh?
Yay for including the four-footed family members.
You are phenominal at your job. Those who are lucky enough to have you shoot their wedding are VERY blessed!
