The Mormon Temple, Littleton Colorado

If there is any one place in all of Colorado where I think a good professional wedding photographer can separate himself from a average wedding photographer it is here. Wedding photography at the Mormon Temple in Littleton Colorado seems straight forward enough- just take the photos outside in front of the temple right? This is just simply wrong. And every Saturday I see photographers doing this, without thinking, and just plain messing up the wedding photographs horribly-and the worse part is that they don't even know what they are doing wrong.

I will begin by a simple rant on courtesy. Wedding ceremonies happen for the good part of the day at the LDS Temple, it is a busy, busy place. It is our job as wedding photographers not only to capture and create fantastic images, but to create stress free situations that consider families and couples. The Temple faces dues east and has no shade trees in front of it for shade, so this means that it is hot. The temple is brilliant white, and has cement all over the front, the entryway, the stairs, the parking lot,- cement reflects heat! photography 101; always have your subjects with their backs to the sun, so they don't squint, and sweat. Every time I shoot at the LDS Temple in Littleton notice photographers posing people in the heat of the sun, on cement, staring into the sun, during the heat of the day!

Not only is this rude, but now we have created a technical difficulty. In the studio this is referred to "white on white." With controlled lighting an exercise like this works, but outside with sweating hot irritated people, in white dresses, against black tuxes, on white stairs, in front of a white building, film or digital cameras just can't capture that many stops of light, detail is going to be lost.

Every couple who gets married at the Mormon Temple wants to have their photos taken in front of the Temple, and understandably so, but there are some very common problems I see when other photographers do this. The Temple has a very high steeple, it is a big building, and every single photographer I have ever seen shoot poses the couple on the stairs here, and then uses a wide angle lens to capture the building in the background. now this is fine for a few photos, but for a nice wedding photograph it is very wrong. first of all, a wide angle lens distorts the image, so whatever is in middle of the frame appears larger and the sides get scrunched down. So, a woman, in white;shooting from below her; making her look bigger- need I say more! The other technical problem is a misunderstanding of the properties of lenses. A wide angle lens pushes the relative distance of the perspective in the frame apart, where as a telephoto lens brings the relative perspective of the distance in the frame together. So in essence the best way to take a photo of the Bride and Groom in front of the Temple, the way to make the Temple look closer to the couple, is to have them stand down by the end of the parkway next to the parking lot, and use the longest lens available and stand in the driveway. use a radio slave or have an assistant hold a shim up to block the sun from their eyes.

Besides being rude, making everybody hot and uncomfortable, making the bride look bigger, and creating a lighting situation which losses photographic quality, the other problem I have with taking all the photos right up front of the Mormon Temple is that it is a super busy place. There are always cars and groups of people, and other brides standing around so if you want other people and bright red Jeep Cherokees in your wedding photographs then go right ahead. I prefer to take the whole group of people around to the north side of the building, it is shaded with beautiful trees all day long. You have perfect lighting, comfortable people, and eliminate all the other difficulties mentioned above. Besides, the formal photographs are supposed to be focused on relationships, not backgrounds anyway. Then, once all the formals are taken, take the bride and groom around the Temple to get the photos with the steeple and Temple in the background.

The Reserve of Cherry Creek, Denver Colorado

Wedding photography at The Reserve at Cherry Creek is simple and elegant.

The building itself is an old private city club. The interior of the club has some grand backdrops, the staircase leading up to the second floor is an obvious place to start. On the ground floor I like to have the guys gather around the pool table in the billiards room-put the camera right on the rail of the table and have the groom "break; " if you pose the other guys in the background casually and light them with a separate flash on a radio slave, you'll create a fantastic photo.

I like to take the couple around to the back patio, and try to capture some of the architecture of the building. The only thing to really watch for here, is that the vast majority of the photos here will be inside because the exterior of the reserve isn't grand, and there isn't many places to take any photos except right in front of the building.

Another plus to this venue is the second floor patio. This is great and not as common as photographers would like it to be. I usually have the every guest stand outside with the bride and groom in front; and when I am standing up on the patio I can frame the whole group at once.

The Vineyard Chapel, Littleton Colorado

The Vineyard Chapel is just off of C-470 and Bowles Ave, in Littleton. It is a romantic little chapel that is easily accessible from anywhere in the whole Denver Metro Area.

The lighting inside the chapel is pretty good. There is much available light so shooting inside here is fairly easy to do. Every time I shoot here I take photos inside and outside just to create a little variety. For all the intimacy this little chapel offers the downside is that it is plain. So a creative photographer needs a little time to produce outstanding images here. The windows are the first place to start, make an unforgettable available light bridal portrait with the bride looking outside and the veil covering her face. When you take the wedding pictures outside make sure to focus on relationships and close ups. The downside to outdoor pictures here is that there is no shade, and power lines are visible. So, again, a little time for the photographer to find the right angle and right pose is often required.

Fox Hollow Golf Course, Lakewood Colorado

The Den at Fox Hollow is consistently one of my favorite outdoor venues to shoot weddings at. This is because Fox Hollow offers a wide variety of backdrops, and locations, every wedding had a different feel here-which is an accomplishment by the staff. The Den isn't huge so the indoor facilities aren't the best, but, the patio is great, and also they have a separate covered veranda and patio for bigger wedding receptions.

The stone bridge just outside the Den is a obvious place to start taking photos; but a must do here is to get a golf cart and drive the bride and the groom around the course-you'll have limitless places to create beautiful and natural wedding photos. They have ponds, and charming fences, and, not to mention, quite a lush spot considering it is still in the Denver Metro Area. If you are a bride who is just a little willing to try some fun poses have a couple must takes.

the first pose can be done anywhere on the east side of the course. This side has fields of tall wheat like grasses, and when the sun is setting or low in the sky the grass makes a remarkable romantic setting. The other pose, is next to the east pond, there is a huge cottonwood tree with a fairly low branch. A very fun bridal portrait is taken with a bride barefoot sitting on the branch. Don't forget to take some open shade bridal portraits on the porches either; the rock pillars are quite charming.

One thing to keep in mind here, is Fox Hollow advertises there outstanding mountain views-well they do have some views of the foothills, but I personally wouldn't consider the view mountainous-but beautiful nonetheless.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison Colorado.

Located just a few minutes west of Denver, Red Rocks, has just recently, added a reception venue. Red Rocks is famous for its outdoor concerts, and now, I think will also be known for its wedding receptions as well.

Red Rocks has had a small chapel for decades, and countless couples have been married with the sandstone rock formations framing the essential Colorado scene. But now that a couple can have a ceremony and a reception all at Red Rocks is simply outstanding!

There are a few things to keep in mind while planning your wedding or wedding reception here. shade is limited here, so the best light is closer to sunset as possible, make sure you plan your pictures around this as opposed to shooting at noontime. The common misconception is that we can see the city lights of Denver at night. We can, but keep in mind it is a tiny view, due to the hogback, and it seems even smaller thru a lens. The reason you never see this shot, is because it is usually a disappointment- the view of the lights is just too small.

The Walnut Foundry, Denver ColoradoWedding Photography at the Walnut Foundry offers a unique change of pace from the traditional. This is an original industrial space in the Larimer Neighborhood of historic Denver. It has been transformed into a great urban space and is likely to yield images that are classy yet modern.

The space has original metal and wooden beams and is huge. Art is always on display here, but the outside is simply amazing. For those brides that want a urban look, the Walnut Foundry look as is if it a transplant from the Chicago Stockyards of the early 1900's. A brief walk outside with a bride and groom, and you will find a menagerie of smokestacks, fire escapes, brick walls, alleys, and just about any urban look that you can think of.

In the day of ultra sentimental cookie cutter weddings, the Walnut Foundry is a breath of fresh air!For more Information on the Walnut Foundry Event Center click here.

The Sanctuary, Sedalia Colorado

The Sanctuary Golf Course has to be one of the most prestigious venues in the entire state of Colorado to host a wedding or wedding reception. The Sanctuary rests on a high bluff on Daniels Park just south of Denver; it is between Castle Rock, and Highlands Ranch. The views up herd are the best in all of the front range. Daniels Park sits up high so you can see all the way from Pikes Peak to Long's Peak and every thing between.

The club house, is a newer building, maybe even recently remodeled. Either way, it is obvious that some thought was given to photographs, the building is has understated sophistication, and the interior windows and arches make great wedding photos. If your wedding and reception are here you are going to be pleased.

I only have one suggestion that is a must do. The view is due west, and there is no shade here, so the outside shots have to be taken closer to sunset and the evening the earlier, otherwise the sun is too intense.

The Cliff House,Manitou Springs Colorado,

The Cliff House has been voted in the top ten romantic inns in Colorado and even in the entire country by over ten publications. The are awarded AAA Four Diamond Award every year, and are recognized by "The Wine Spectator."

So if you are looking for a romantic, intimate, charming, venue for your wedding then the Cliff House has to be on your short list. It rests just ten minutes from Colorado Springs, and about 45 minuted from Denver; and it is surrounded by exquisite views and destinations. The Cliff House hosts only one wedding per day! that means your special day is cared for by the staff here. Some venues I shoot at have three or four weddings at the same time! Your guests will served the best food, on the best china, in an elegant ballroom that really is second to none.

A must do is take the time to have many of your wedding photographs taken at Garden of the Gods. This is a gorgeous spot with sandstone rock formations jetting up out of the earth against views of Pikes Peak.

I only have one word to the wise here. Most photographers follow the limo driver and just photograph where the limo stops. But, why are we letting a driver determine where to take dynamic wedding pictures, have the limo driver follow the photographer and let a professional trained and artistic eye pick the most photogenic spots!

Cherry Hills Country Club, Cherry Hills Village Colorado

Professional Wedding Photography at Cherry Hills County Club.

Cherry Hills golf and country club is an exclusive private club. The club boasts a PGA Championship 18 hole golf course, and the club house recently underwent a 12 million dollar renovation. City of Cherry Hills Village is estimated to be one of the most affluent places in Colorado and the United States. It is home to one of Colorado's most prestigious schools, Kent Denver, which counts former Secretary of State Madeline Albright among its alumni.

According to common stories amongst members, the "Arnold Palmer" iced tea drink is reported to have been started at Cherry Hills when Palmer grew angry at the bartender because he refused to mix lemonade in his iced tea.

This is a great location to have a wedding or a reception. The grounds are beautiful, with bridges and huge shade trees-which is rare for a golf course in the metro area to have. You really cant go wrong here as far as shooting goes, they have swans in some ponds, and dozens of beautiful spots to take photos within walking distance of the clubhouse. Make sure to use the building as a backdrop since it has many patios, and flowers, and quaint scenes entirely around it. And don't forget the fireplace and mantel inside the clubhouse itself.

Wedding Photography At The University of Denver,

Denver Colorado

Wedding Photography at D.U. is actually, in my opinion, a really great venue in Colorado for both wedding ceremonies and receptions. You can have both excellent idyllic settings for both on the campus. For smaller wedding you have the charming Evans Chapel which is a pretty sandstone building in the heart of the campus. Or you can get married at the Harper Humanities Gardens.

For the reception you have The Gottesfeld Room, the Newman Center for the Preforming Arts, and also the beautiful Governor's Hall Ballroom.

At D.U. you can bet that whichever venue you choose you will see elegant architecture. But don't forget about the gardens; there are many reflection pools, waterfalls, flowers, shade trees for autumn weddings, and countless columns and buildings for really classic looking portraits.

Wedding Photography at Willow Ridge Manor,

Morrison Colorado

Willow Ridge Manor is a restored mansion that now serves as a stately venue for weddings and receptions. It is located in Morrison, and offers some surprisingly great photos. The sits on the top of a hill which provides a great vista to the south. There are some rock formations in the back of the manor and it is easy to take some outstanding wedding photos here. The mansion itself is photogenic a a couple of angles. It has some pillars and a porch on the north end, and a great entry way-which at night can create a really pretty available light shot. I do think that most of these outside shots are fairly obvious and it can be difficult to get some truly original shots outside here. what is more important than building a portfolio is to just take the standard shots outside, and then move indoors.

Willow Ridge Manor has many places inside that lend to great photographs. The bridal room is one of the best I have seen- it has space, a huge mirror, benches, Victorian furniture, and lace curtains. So when shooting a wedding here I am always early, to capture as many photos upstairs as possible. The manor also has a grand piano, nice windows, and a patio that you can't forget to shoot on.

Willow Ridge Manor is right off of Hampden and C-470, so it is Close to Denver, and a side trip either along morrison creek, or to Red Rocks , are easily done if you give your photographer enough time.

Wedding Photography at the Air Force Academy Chapel,

Colorado Springs Colorado

We all know that this venue is just awe inspiring. The only weddings I have ever been to that run on time- are here. Make sure your guests arrive early because sometimes the base will close the gates for a military operation, and if your guests aren't in-then they won't let them in. I have seen this once before and it was a great aunt who wasn't allowed on base-she was about ten minutes late.

A Word to the Wise

The wedding coordinator doesn't mess around here; the chapel has weddings back to back to back, so time is of the essence. I have been told by the coordinator that I am one of the very few photographers that get pictures done on time. Wedding photography 101, before hand I will make a family tree of all your family, and I will memorize the names and your family dynamics. When it is time for me to shoot the formals I already know everybody by name, and can tell who I need in the next few pictures as I'm posing another. All to often I here people say that the photographer asked them "what picture they wanted next?" -give me a break!! There is simply no way for a inefficient photographer to succeed at the Air Force Chapel.

Another problem I see all the time stems from habit I think. We as photographers are used to taking photos at the front of a church or synagogue. But here it should be the exact opposite. The grander of the building is right in front of you when you walk in, not up front with giant marble wall. Up front, your wedding photographs will have a boring white backdrop. In the back you will have the whole inside of the chapel in view. My feet are almost outside when I shoot here.

Another problem I see here is a misunderstanding of light. The windows of the chapel make the whole structure look blue. Blue light, being close to the end of the light spectrum has a low wavelength. For the human eye it is no big deal, for cameras it is. A cable release is a must with long exposures for all exposures to let the blue light "burn in" If you are speaking with a photographer who doesn't know this-run away or else the inside of the chapel will be green in all your photos.

Wedding Photography at The Hudson Gardens and Event Center, Littleton Colorado.

Located in historic downtown Littleton Hudson Gardens is beautiful and very accessible. The gardens are full of flowers and bridges, and giant shade trees. There are several locations to have your ceremony here both outdoor and indoor and tented.

A Word to the Wise

The following might seem a little anal, but it is photography 101, and I find that here there are a few basic things that need to be done properly, and if you a speaking with a photographer who doesn't do this than please run away!!

Sometimes we do have bad weather here in Colorado, and if this happens to be on your wedding day, and we are forced to take many photos inside the lodge at Hudson Gardens no problem it will look great. Most photographers just line people up in front of the fireplace-which sound innocent enough. But look at the samples it is horrendous-the lodge is a log cabin, with think white grout between the timbers, so when flashed the background turns out to be this unsightly prison cell/candy cane looking thing that overwhelms the people. Photography 101, the solution is always shoot people indoors on a diagonal-always.

The next thing to consider is simple the distance, if you are getting ready a the lodge, and having the ceremony at Monet's Place in the far south end, make sure the photographer has an assistant shooting as well otherwise, and i see this all the time, you are just paying a photographer to walk back and forth and back and forth-and it is almost a five minute walk each way! Photography 101, make sure your wedding photographer is efficient, and knows your timeline.

A winter wedding at Hudson Gardens can be great, but oftentimes you might not want dead trees, and dead flowers, and dead bushes, and gray skies in a wedding photograph. This is another problem I see all the time. The photography solution 101 is so simple. if the background is underexposed about 4 stops, and the flash is turned up to the proper exposure, then the dead trees in the background will disappear, and the background will be vibrant with color. This is called key flash, and if your photographer doesn't do it- run

Wedding Photography at the Manor House Restaurant,

Littleton Colorado

The manor house is a very romantic venue to have a wedding ceremony or wedding reception. It is an restored historic stately house that sits on top of a hill surrounded by the charming Ken-Caryl Valley. It has served U.S. Presidents, and celebrities for over 90 years.

The Manor House has been featured in Westword as "the most romantic restaurant in Denver." In, The Wall Street Journal as "....one of the twelve national restaurants with a spectacular view..." , and in Dining by Candlelight as "one of the 200 most romantic and prestigious restaurants in America."

Wedding photography is simple here. Most photos are taken either at the entryway, or in the lawn in front with the house in the background. This is simply the only real photogenic part of the building. There are some nice windows and mirrors in the house, but I think it is always well worth the time to drive a few minutes south and take some of the bridal images out in Ken-Caryl Valley. It is easy enough to find an amazing view of fields, sandstone rock formations, and the beautiful blue Colorado sky.

Wedding Photography at Arrowhead Golf Course, Littleton Colorado

What a beautiful setting to get married at! And it is only 40 minutes from downtown Denver! In fact, in 2003 The Perfect Wedding Guide picked Arrowhead as one of the most beautiful sites in all of Colorado. It is all about the view here, and what is so great, is the banquet room has floor to ceiling windows!

Any time of year at Arrowhead is beautiful, but my favorite is fall, when the leaves are yellow and orange, but you might want to consider a winter wedding as well.

Schedule some extra time for your photographer to get a golf cart and drive you two around, the possibilities are endless. Arrowhead Golf Club is filled with reflection pools, bridges, and the obvious exquisite red rock formations. Make sure your photographer has a super telephoto lens-the longer the focal length of a lens the more the image gets "suppressed"-this means that the longer the lens, the closer and bigger the rocks in the background will appear.

Wedding Photography at The Fort, Morrison Colorado


Take a step back into the wild west as you enter into a replica of Colorado's first fur-trading post. The Fort is an award winning restaurant that features wild game. They serve rattlesnake, lamb, deer, elk, buffalo, and they even have some excellent vegetarian dishes.





Wedding photography here is very straighforward, besides taking the formal photos in the courtyard, or outside looking out upon the foothills; The Fort offers many simple intimate settings. For instance, the adobe walls are subtle and understated, the old wooden door is a also a great shot. My favorite shot to get here is at night. In the courtyard, the staff, dressed in period clothing, keep a fire going next to a replica of an actual tee-pee. If the bride and groom picked The Fort for their wedding or wedding reception, then play it up, shoot them holding each other in front of the fire with the tee-pee in the background.

The main thing to look for while taking photos here is the fact that there really isn't much space to work with, or place your gear. If you plan on doing formals in the courtyard have an assistant directing people and other guests out of the frame otherwise all the shots will have strangers in the background.

Il Fornio

The Il fornio Resturant in the Denver Tech Center and in LoDo, are both superb places to hold a wedding or a reception. This intimate venue is all about your friends and family. If you are planning a smaller wedding or smaller wedding reception so you can spend time with your guests-then this is a place to consider.

The award winning authentic Italian food is outstanding, and the decorations are indeed grand. With "al fresco" tile flooring, high arches, open hearth fire- places, it seems as if you are in Tuscany. In fact the whole chain won an excellance award in 2003 from Wine Spectator.

You might consider having the photographer, and the bride and groom, take a few minutes to take some photographs outside just for variety. A simple park rests at I-25 and Lincoln-just a few minutes away.

Cherokee Ranch and Castle,

The Cherokee Ranch and Castle sits high upon a bluff overlooking over 3100 acres of open space. The views are simply breathtaking-it as if your wedding ceremony and recpetion were in a different world. The Castle is filled with elegant art and antiques-so photographers need to be careful.

Some flashes can be harmful to the art so the staff at the Castle prefer that wedding photographers use none, and depend on available light while shooting indoors.

The Castle is one of the best locations to shoot enchanted bridal Portraits because of it's dozens of european inspired leaded windows. And ask the wedding cordinator for access up to the top of the tower for an awesome shot!

The Ranch is located in Sedalia Colorado, but it rests halfway between Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch, so it is very accesible for most of the Denver Metro Area.

The Denver Downtown Aquarium, Denver Colorado

The Denver Downtown Aquarium is perhaps the most unique venue to have your wedding and recpetion in all of Colorado. In recent years the Aquarium has undergone many changes since it was Ocean Journey. These changes are a great for engaged couples. The two most significant are, the food, and the dinning room. Now The Aquarium hosts world class dinning in the new elegant Nautilus Ballroom.

Arrangements can be made for you and your guests to tour the aquarium- this is a must do, and you can be sure that your guests will not be bored here. It is absolutlely perfect -your guests can tour around while the formal wedding photos are being taken.

A word to the wise:

Although the Downtown Aquairum sits in a beautiful setting with the Platte River and views of the Denver skyline- have your wedding photographer take most of the photos inside! It is just plain awesome if photographed correctly.

One couple I shot here were underwater photographers, their ring shot was a close up of their hands reaching down touching a ray! They held the ceremony inside the shark aquarium, ( not in the water but in front of the glass) Most people just use the ballroom and never venture into the actual exhibits. Get permission for the photographer to follow the bride and groom around on a tour- you will not regret it.

This being said, if you are planning on taking any photos inside with the fish-it is extreemly important to hire an expierenced wedding photographer. This is a challenging place to photograph. Radio slaves are a must, a super wide angle renctilinear lens is a must ( this is a fisheye lens with out the distortion) and often times it is a good idea for the photographer to go and get practice shooting inside a few times because the glass of the aquarium is almost always convex or concave which means if not taken seiroiusly into consideration, you get mutliple flash spots on the glass and unsighlty reflections.

The Denver Botanical Gardens, Denver Colorado

The Denver Botanical Gardens, is a lovely setting, with countless photographic backdrops. The main problem for professional photographer here is simply that there are just too many charming places to take a bride and groom. The gardens offer a wide range of plants and landscapes, from intimate bridal portraits to playful pond settings, a professional wedding photographer can't go wrong here. So when planning your wedding here make sure to give your wedding photographer plenty of time, and you might consider bringing a pair of comfortable shoes to walk in.

My favorite spot is the Japanese Gardens, here you will find a refelection pool, a bridge, and romantic benches. The most popular ceremony spot is in the Romantic Gardens, it is a beautiful garden and has a stately entrance, but beware, the only drawback to this spot is the fact that it faces due west-which means in the summer your guests will be looking directly into the sun.

Summer is magical at the Denver Botanical Gardens. The best times of year to have an outdoor Colorado wedding here are May, June, July, and September. I really like September for an outdoor wedding in Colorado, the weather is usally very comfortable, cool, and the fall colors are breath-taking.

The Brown Palace Hotel Downtown Denver, Colorado


What a fantastic location to have a wedding ceremony or a reception. For more than 100 years The Brown Palace has played hosts to Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Rock Stars; it is Denver's only Mobil Four-Star and AAA Four-Diamond Hotel.





This truly is the peak of exclusive wedding locations in the heart of the Mile High City.





What to look four:
Usually, the on site wedding cordinator won't allow any wedding photos to be taken down on the lobby floor due to high tea or other guests. Make sure your photographer is prepared with a wide angle lens and radio slaves because the hallways are narrow.

The grand staircase is a must take if the staff allows, but another must take is from one of the many balconies-especially duriong the holiday season. A Colorado winter wedding is fantastic at The Brown Palace the decorations are second to none.

A trip outside into the heart of downtown Denver is also a must. A ten minute walk in any direction is sure to enlighten any pro. The State Capital Building, Coors Field, The Colorado Convention Center, Historic Union Station, The famous 16th Steert Mall, and countless other Denver attractions are all easily accesible.
