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
